Using a calligraphy brush to write the single character on a wooden platform as tourists looked on, Seihan Mori, chief monk at Kiyomizu temple in the ancient capital
of Kyoto, declared "change" to be Japan's character of the year.
The event was hosted by a Kyoto-based group that promotes the use of
"kanji," the Chinese characters used in the Japanese language.
The public sent in 111,200 nominations(提名) for the kanji of the year.
Of those, a majority 5.42 percent approved of "change," followed by "gold," suggesting the Beijing Olympics, and "fall" to show the global market decre.ase.
"I think it is an expression of the Japanese peoples wishes to see political, economic and societal changes, as they were impressed by Mr. Obama's message of change," Mori said. He added that climate change also drew people attention to the significance of "change".
The Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation(JKATF) has been conducting a poll(民意测试) on the year's kanii each year since 1995. Last year's top choice was 'Nise' (fake).
