Author:Svitlana Grytsenko, Issue: December 2003, Topic: Maps
This article was made for foreigners to have a better understanding of the name of their township in Tsukuba. If your place is not on this list, you can try to find its meaning in the dictionary. A possible way to do it is to find on a map of Tsukuba the name of your place and a kanji for it and look in the dictionary for the meaning of a kanji. I used "The Kanji Dictionary" by Mark Spahn and Wolfgang Hadamitzky (you can find the information how to use it in October 2003 issue of Alien Times).
The letters in brackets are other pronunciations of the kanji, which can make your search in the dictionary easier or just help you not to be confused when you see the kanji for tree (KI) pronounced GI as in Teshirogi, for example. The possible meaning I give after explaining the kanji is my own understanding of their combinations. So, if you can make a better one - good for you!
