This is “tagtype,” a keyboard designed explicitly for the Japanese language. A relic from 2004, now at MOMA indefinitely.
Japanese uses fifty syllabic characters that can be written on a matrix of ten consonants multiplied by five vowels. This is a Qwerty approach to that formula. It was also built for accessibility, in construction and use.
Designer: Kinya Tagawa.

I thought it would be easier to find a non-white #transgender #translator of #Japanese to English on here, but when I asked a few weeks back I got nothing but crickets. Surely there is someone on here who fits that description? The pay is pretty good by contemporary standards of #manga #translation! Drop me a line! Connect me with your friend/acquaintance/colleague who fits this description! Anyway, please boost! #BIPOC #Black #Brown #Indigenous

Husband: do you know what 사라다 means?
I didn’t know, but it sounded like a verb. A flow of unrelated verbs start popping into my head: 사다, 살다, 살리다, 사라지다…
Husband: it comes from Japanese.
さらだ? All of a sudden, this word sounded more like a loanword than a verb! サラダ = salada (from Portuguese).
So in Korean there are two words: 샐러드 is the general word for “salad” and 사라다 refers to “Japanese style salad” with fruits, vegetables, nuts and mayonnaise.
Have to cover an assignment at the #India pavilion at the #Osaka#worldexpo tomorrow.
I wonder how they're going to react to a #Japanese outlet sending a #SouthIndian American journalist to cover their event?
