    Because the standard vernacular writing system of Japanese makes no use of spaces between words and because kanas (syllabic Japanese characters) and kanjis (ideographic Chinese characters) are used instead of Roman letters, it is necessary to devise a method of automatically cutting into its components the unsegmented sentences, written in kanas and kanjis.

    As seen from these two examples of relatively simple kanjis, the stroke order and stroke count are arbitrary.
