三千漢字覚える事について
Hello everyone, I've been wondering about this and I want to ask what you Japanese people think about it. It's said that you have to learn about 3000 Kanji to read everyday things (like articles, news, etc.) You think that's true? Also I really like Japanese literature, specially authors like Haruki Murakami and Yukio Mishima. But I figure that I must learn much more Kanji to someday read their original work isn't it?

Question

Answer

There are 2136 commonly used kanji. In addition, if you memorize the kanji used for names of people and places, names of animals and tools, there will be more than 3000. Especially in literature, it is difficult to learn because rare kanji is used as one of the expressions. It's difficult, but it's an important point to understand the thought of the author, so if you can read it, you will be able to enjoy Japanese literature more. Please do your best!!
