Synopsis
When we were searching in the dark (anchu-mosaku), at a total loss what to call our book, we suddenly hit upon "A Guide to Japanese Four-Letter Words" Pithy, punchy, in your face. Unfortunately, also rather misleading. From yoji-jukugo to four-character compounds to four-letter words. Not a journey of a million miles, but our editors didn't see it that way. "What's wrong with a little harmless sheep's head but dog meat yoto-kuniku; (false advertising)?" we asked, but it was like the east wind blowing into a horse's ear (baji-tofu!). They just didn't want to know.
So what are these yoji-jukugo? Yoji-jukugo (or four-character compounds, as we often call them in this book) are words/expressions made up of four kanji joined together with no kana in between.... Use them correctly in your everyday conversation and you will blow your Japanese friends out of the water. Seeing the LDP climb into bed with their old foe, the Socialists, in a desperate attempt to hold onto power, all you need say is "It's the Go and the Etsu in the same boat, isn't it?" Your Japanese friends will be stunned that you have even heard of the Go and the Etsu, let alone know that they are synonymous for sworn enemies who by a trick of fate find themselves thrown together, having to cooperate with each other to survive.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
