What is JiShop
JiShop is a powerful electronic dictionary designed to provide comprehensive information about the Chinese characters used in Japanese, known as kanji.
JiShop differs from other electronic kanji dictionaries by its original look-up
system, which fully employs the advantages of a computer. There are no key elements
in JiShop; all radicals (634 versus traditional 214)
are treated equally (read more...)
