We are proud to announce the publication of
The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary

On February 26, 1999, the Tokyo-based publisher Kodansha International announced the publication of Jack Halpern's The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (KALD), based on the world-renowned NTC/ Kenkyusha New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (NJECD), which has become a standard reference work and has enjoyed the praise of world-renowned scholars and countless learners of Japanese throughout the world.

Beautiful, portable, and a joy to use, this dictionary was created with passion and no compromises to its high quality. Every learner of Japanese will want to have one by his or her side.
