国語辞典
"Kan-Wa jiten" ( ""Kan"["ji"] Chinese [character]-"Wa" Japanese dictionary") means "Japanese dictionary of "kanji" (Chinese characters)". This unique type of monolingual dictionary enters Japanese borrowings of "kanji" and multi-character compounds ("jukugo" ), but is not a bilingual Chinese–Japanese dictionary. A "Kan–Wa" dictionary headword ("oyaji" "parent character") entry typically gives variant graphic forms, graphic etymology, readings, meanings, compounds, and idioms. Indexes usually include both radical-stroke and pronunciation ("on" and "kun" readings), and sometimes other character indexing systems like the four corner method.
