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
