"Illustrated Learning Japanese Dictionary" is an iPad electronic dictionary application that includes the best-selling "Illustrated Learning Japanese Dictionary 9th Edition" by Shogakukan tailored for elementary school students. It features furigana for all kanji characters and utilizes textbooks' fonts compliant with the curriculum standards, allowing young students to use it with ease.
