Explanation and Etymology - (漢字) kanji
Kanji is a Japanese word that refers to the Chinese characters used in Japanese writing. The word is composed of two Kanji: 漢 (kan) which refers to the Han dynasty of China, which had a great influence on Japanese culture, and 字 (ji) which means "character" or "letter". The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when Chinese characters began to be introduced in Japan.
