Each entry contains a literal translation to help bring out the nuances of the Japanese original, and where necessary, explanatory notes on grammar and historical background. Extensive cross-referencing allows the user to immediately find synonyms, antonyms, as well as related proverbs, while furigana allows even beginners to read and use the proverbs immediately.
