Abstract
In this so-called age of 'globalization,' many countries see their national language(s) being threatened by more powerful rivals. Japan, however, is an example of a country whose language-culture manages to distance itself from that threat. This paper attempts and observation, through the history of language reforms, of the development of the Japanese written language, as well as the role played by translation in that process.
