What are the Japanese terms for "character dictionary"? "漢辞海"? "漢字典"?


I'm looking for a cheap secondhand character dictionary in Japan but:

I don't know if there is one or more kind of these, and I don't know what they
are called.

Two I saw had these on their spines, but I don't know if they are titles or
types of dictionary:

  * 漢辞海
  * 漢字典

Tsuyoshi Ito suggests this term in a comment:

  * 漢和辞典

Is there more than one kind of character dictionary? What are the various
kinds called? (Please supply romaji or at least kana too)

I do not need to know about general Japanese or translating dictionaries, just
the ones that focus on kanji.




[漢和辞典](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BC%A2%E5%92%8C%E8%BE%9E%E5%85%B8) is
what you want:

Shinchosha have just released a Kanji-only dictionary called: Shin'Nihongo
Kanji Jiten: <http://www.shinchosha.co.jp/jiten/kanjijiten/index.html> that
includes not only words with origins in China, but also native Japanese words
that happen to be scripted in Kanji.
