INTRODUCTION.

Japanese is a language that uses six (6) dot Braille and eight (8) dot Braille in a sentence.  

 

Six (6) dot Braille is for kana’ ,and eight (8) dot Braille is for kanji’.  Andrew Nelson, “Japanese-English Character Dictionary”, 1997 is a classic book.   But I have used Braille kanji’ because Japanese in eight (8) dot is “meanings” by characters.  In other words, “a different way of thinking about writing”,
