Japanese Text Initiative - Update
Electronic Text Center, Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Supplied note: "The Japanese Text Initiative [... added]: (a) three versions of 'Genji monogatari': a text based on original manuscripts; a modern translation; and a Romaji version of the original text. The texts were created by Professor Eiichi Shibuya of Takachiho Shoka University. The three texts can be displayed individually or in parallel. With the JTI online search facility, you can look up any characters or words in Genji and in the other JTI online texts. The Genji texts are at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/genji
(b) a Japanese-English dictionary portal. Click on any characters (kanji or kana) in Web pages, and the Portal automatically looks up entries for the characters in Jim Breen's online Japanese dictionary called WWWJDIC. The Portal can be used with the JTI online Japanese texts (with the caution that the modern definitions in the online dictionary must be handled with care with the classical JTI texts). Experimentally, the Portal also lets you go to *any* Japanese Web page, click on any characters in the page, and automatically look up meanings. You can even highlight paragraphs to get definitions of a series of characters. The Portal is at http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/japan/index.html"
