About the Project
Project term: April, 2010–March, 2013
Summary of the project: This project aims to describe the historical shifts in the standards of the Chinese characters (or KANJI) glyphs. Sources of the research are taken from those materials (engraved, hand-written or printed documents) that gave the normative standards, or those that succeeded those norms of the glyphs, of China, as well as Sino-Japanese, Sino-Korean, and Sino-Vietnamese ones. The historical overview is given by the HNG (Hanzi normative glyphs) database, (http://joao-roiz.jp/HNG/ ) which has been constructed and maintained by the project, and was awarded the 1st “Shirakawa Memorial Academic Award in Asian Script Cultures.”
