Cultural Note
『平仮名』 (hiragana) is one of the three Japanese writing systems, along with 『漢字』 (kanji, 'Chinese characters') and 『カタカナ』 (katakana, 'katakana'). It is used for native Japanese words, grammatical particles, and words without kanji. Children learn hiragana first in school, and it is essential for reading and writing in Japanese.
