What kind of writing system does Japan use?
The Japanese writing system consists of three different character sets: Kanji (several thousands of Chinese characters) and Hiragana and Katakana (two syllabaries of 46 characters each; together called Kana).

Some words are colloquially written in hiragana and writing them in kanji might give them a more formal tone, while hiragana may impart a softer or more emotional feeling. For example, the Japanese word “kawaii”, the Japanese equivalent of “cute”, can be written entirely in hiragana as in かわいい, or as the kanji term 可愛い.
