Re: Kanji is difficult!

Hello again, b-73-san.

In Korean or Chinese, same Kanji is the same pronounce. Only Japanese has a Kanji a lot pronounce. And Sakaki is a bit difficult, don't you think so?

Sakaki Ichiro's thema is
*Where is the border of human and nonhuman?
*Where is the border of one person and another?

Maybe he is direct descendant of Tezuka Osamu.

I love Sakaki' novels. Especially "Straight Jacket" series.

Really? I didn't know that. So the pronunciations of the Japanese "Chinese characters" are difficult even for the Chinese people.

> And Sakaki is a bit difficult, don't you think so?

Yes, it's difficult to read. It's like "珍男子". Maybe "榊 珍男子" is a perfect(?) name. No one could read it as "Sakaki Uzuhiko/Utsuhiko". :)

I thought I knew the title, but I couldn't remember the story. I searched about his works in Wikipedia. I was again amazed. He's been writing a lot of novels than I expected!

My favorite is the "Scrapped Princess" series. I was very happy to find that some of them had been translated into English. :)
