      To reduce foreign influence on Japanese, wartime authorities invented native alternatives to what they called 敵性語 [tekiseigo], ‘the language of the enemy’. Some of the names for musical instruments aren’t so catchy...pic.twitter.com/dl6v1L2YhJ

      Thanks you. That's all alternatives or is incomplete? I supose the Japanese people will understand that vocab. I'm not very good at Jap. yet but I want speak real Jap. and not a lot of 外来語gairaigo that isn't real Jap. Using this words always I don't feel I'm speaking Japanese

      It definitely feels less good, but don’t forget that using the katakana here is CORRECT Japanese. No one uses the kanji versions anymore. And people used the katakana versions before the war too, so they are actually older!

          Don't. Japanese people won't understand you if you try to use these terms. It's not cool. It's not "different". It's non-sensical. The katakana names are the actual instrument names.
