Synopsis
The Japanese writing system was introduced into Japan by the Chinese around the middle of the 6th century AD. The Chinese language is very different to Japanese in structure so the writing system was gradually adapted to fit the structure of the Japanese language. There are now three scripts that make up the Japanese writing system (four if you include roman script): kanji; hiragana and katakana. The latter two are known collectively as kana.
