As you already might know, there are great difference between Japanese
Kanji and Chinese Kanji. First of all, though modern Chinese letters are
composed of simplified Chinese symbols and traditional symbols, Japanese
Kanji symbols is unity in that meaning. ( Please note that Japanese characters
are composed of three type; Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana) Secondly, the difference
between Japanese Kanji and Chinese Kanji does not absolutely correspond
to the diffence between simplified Chinese letters and traditional letters.
In other words, Japanese Kanji is never the same as traditional China's
Kanji.
Regardless of whatever one may have thought of simplified Chinese, it may
be asserted, roughly and generally, that modern simplified Chinese are
not beautiful !.
No matter how easy and convenient they are to use ...... This is as much
as to say that Japanese Kanji symbols are beautiful, maybe you think so.
Please see the example below. What do you feel? It would be obvious at
a glance !.
Left : Japanese Kanji / Right : Chinese Kanji (simplified Chinese symbols)
