Literacy and Script Reform in Occupation Japan: Reading Between the Lines
Unger, J. Marshall (Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures, Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures, University of Maryland)
Japanese writing intermingles three different sets of characters, making it difficult to adapt to new technology. Unger looks at why the Japanese have not reformed their orthography and specifically the efforts at script reform that took place after the Second World War, and how and why that movement was defeated.
