Review by Maiko Covington

This is your standard dictionary of koten (the literary form of old Japanese) for high school students. It is very clear on the parts of speech and what kind of conjugations the verbs have, there is an example (quoted from an ancient text) for each word, and the more important words are in bigger print. It also has a large section in the back with charts of seasons, flowers, parts of kimono, etc that comes up in these stories all the time, and lots of grammar charts (for us high school students to memorize - =^P).
