The example sentences in Jisho come from the Tatoeba project, which got them from a large collection of sentences compiled by Professor Yasuhito Tanaka at Hyogo University and his students, and later extensively edited by Jim Breen. This is used to drive the radical lookup feature in Jisho. RADKFILE, also from Jim Breen/EDRDG, is a database of the radicals that make up kanji. KANJIDIC2, also from Jim Breen/EDRDG, is a database of kanji that includes readings, meanings and a lot of metadata around kanji like lookup numbers for kanji dictionary books, stroke count and information about variant forms. JMnedict, also from Jim Breen/EDRDG, is an immense database of Japanese proper names for people, companies and locations. This dictionary file is the source of the bulk of the words in Jisho. JMdict, created by Jim Breen and now managed by the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group (EDRDG), is a great general dictionary with roughly 170 000 entries and is actively maintained by Jim Breen and a team of volunteers. We are immensely thankful to the people who work on these projects and make them available for everyone studying Japanese to benefit from. The data used in Jisho comes from a variety of open source projects.

Please see the search options documentation for a full list of available options. There are many search options in Jisho that aren’t exposed in the interface. Jisho is a labor of love for Kim Ahlström, Miwa Ahlström and Andrew Plummer with immense help from our friends Brian Takumi, who created Jisho's kickass new icon, and Sophian Bensaou, who has provided invaluable guidance. Just paste what you want to understand into Jisho, be it English, romaji, a single word or an entire paragraph of Japanese text, and it will search a myriad of data to help you understand the words, kanji and even grammar patterns. Ultimately we want to see it be a Google Now or Wolfram Alpha for the Japanese language. Our goal is to build a new kind of dictionary that doesn't just let you look up single words or kanji, but rather helps you understand any Japanese text. It lets you find words, kanji, example sentences and more quickly and easily. Jisho is a powerful Japanese-English dictionary.
