Good night,
After the United States and the United Kingdom respectively selected the keywords for 2022, Japan’s “Kanji of the Year” selection was also announced on the 12th as usual by the abbot of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, Mori Kiyoshi, who announced the results of the vote — the word “war” stood out.
The selection of “This Year’s Kanji” sponsored by the Japanese Kanji Proficiency Testing Association has been held since 1995. Last year, Japanese nationals selected “gold” as the representative character of the year in the atmosphere of the Olympic Games, and “war” was selected again after 2001. After more than 220,000 votes, “An” was closely followed by more than 10,000 votes. It is defined by the war in Ukraine, the assassination of Shinzo Abe, the depreciation of the yen and the soaring prices, and the World Cup in Qatar. The year of “war” runs through.
