Background and profile edit
The name of Hiragana Times was inspired by the fact that all kanji in the magazine have hiragana translations adjacent to it. This is known as furigana, and it allows more novice readers to comprehend the articles in both languages.
The magazine is published monthly and contains articles of cultural importance to its readers with a mix of American and British stories.
