kyūjitai
- /ˌkju.d͡ʒiˈtaɪ/ US
Where it comes from
Transliteration from Japanese 旧(きゅう)字(じ)体(たい) (kyūjitai, literally “old character form”).
noun kyujitai
- The traditional form of Japanese kanji used before 1947. Although the kyūjitai kanji were not banned, the obsolete kyūjitai kanji have become unreadable to more and more readers over time, thus making texts including them difficult for modern readers, but at least there is a recognized mapping from new form to old form.
