For Creators: Japanese Fantasy Naming Dictionary - Seasonal Words Edition - Shin Genkan Sha
This book builds upon Shin Genkan Sha's Japanese Fantasy Naming Dictionary, selecting and compiling Japanese words related to the seasons from the perspective of “naming.” Focusing on seasonal words (kigo) that represent the season in waka and haiku, we gathered words related to “seasons” that seem suitable for “naming” and are truly captivating.\
Japanese has a long history, with high flexibility in readings and kanji usage, and Japanese people love to play with words. As a result, Japanese boasts an excessively rich vocabulary and astonishing variations in readings and spellings. While this book contains only a handful of words from this vast sea of Japanese, we hope it serves as a useful resource for your creative endeavors.\
In the main text, words with similar meanings are grouped together. The index lists all included words in Japanese syllabary order, regardless of season or genre.\
