Kyūjitai
''Kyūjitai'' ( ja, 舊字體 / 旧字体, lit=old character forms) are the traditional forms of kanji, Chinese written characters used in Japanese. Their simplified counterparts are ''shinjitai'' ( ja, 新字体, lit=new character forms, label=none).

However, in Japan fewer and less drastic simplifications were made: for example, "electric" is still written as "" in Japan, as it is also written in Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea and Taiwan, which continue to use traditional Chinese characters, but has been simplified to in mainland China. Prior to the promulgation of the ''tōyō'' kanji list in 1946, ''kyūjitai'' were known as ''seiji'' ( ja, 正字, lit=proper/correct characters, label=none) or ''seijitai'' (). Even after ''kyūj ...
