As endorsed by the JKATF....
Ladies and gentlemen, the official kanji (Chinese character) of the year!
"Sai," the kanji meaning "disaster," was voted as the character that best symbolized the year 2004, the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation announced last week.
from the Yomiuri Shimbun
Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation?! Crikey, the Japanese think of everything, don't they? People voted for this kanji because Japan was beset by earthquakes, typhoons and volcanic eruptions this year. That is to say, more than is usually the case.
Not to mention NOVA renewing my contract.
