The Japanese writing system is based on Chinese writing, and is typologically an ideographic system with elements of a syllabic system. The art of Japanese writing is called calligraphy.
To be precise, modern Japanese is written using three writing systems:
1. Kanji (Chinese characters) are ideographic and stand for whole words or morphemes on their own.
2. Hiragana (syllabic characters, or a syllabary similar to an alphabet) is used to spell out Kanji in pronounceable syllables, if needed, or to spell out the endings and inflections and particles used to build sentences.
3. Katakana (a second syllabary similar to hiragana) is used to spell out foreign words or in advertising; it's function is similar to italics in English.
Japanese also has an official romanization called Romaji, which is a system for spelling Japanese using Roman (Latin) letters.
Kana
Japanese writing is called "kanji" which consists of Chinese characters adapted for the Japanese language, as well as two phonetic scripts called "hiragana" and "katakana."
In Japanese, if you write foreign names out, you write them with a writing system called Katakana. So, in Katakana, your name would be Jessica: ジェッシカ.
Osaka can be written in Japanese as: 大阪
The Japanese writing system, known as kanji, is based on Chinese characters. Kanji are adopted characters from Chinese writing, with each character representing a word or concept. In addition to kanji, the Japanese writing system also includes hiragana and katakana, which are syllabic scripts.
The early Japanese writing system was heavily influenced by Chinese characters, known as kanji. Over time, the Japanese developed two phonetic scripts, hiragana and katakana, to supplement kanji. This combination of characters allowed for more flexible and expressive writing.
The Japanese writing system traditionally originated from Chinese characters, which were written vertically. Over time, the Japanese developed a unique writing style called "tategaki," where texts are written vertically from top to bottom, right to left. This format is still followed in traditional and formal settings, although horizontal writing is also commonly used today, especially in modern and informal contexts.
In Japanese, calligraphy is called shodou, or "the way of writing".
If you are referring the the calligraphic characters they use, it's called Kanji.
Japanese and Chinese writings are different, but in some cases use the same characters.Japanese uses different writing systems:Hirigana - Used for native Japanese wordsKatakana - Mainly used when writing foreign wordsKanji - These are characters that were borrowed from the Chinese WritingRomaji - This is used when writing Japanese characters with the Latin AlphabetChinese uses characters that they call Hanzi.Hanzi is called by different names in other countries. But in Japanese it is called Kanji.Kanji are the Chinese characters that the Japanese use along with their other writing systems (Hirigana & Katakana) . Though in Japanese one character of Kanji and represent many syllables.
