The Japanese Braille system, known as "tenji" (点字) in Japanese language, is an essential tool for visually impaired individuals in Japan, allowing them to read, write, and access information independently. This talk will explore the historical development of Japanese Braille, its unique structure, and its crucial role in promoting accessibility and inclusion. We will delve into the social significance of Braille in everyday life, addressing current challenges and discussing future developments of Japanese braille.
