Japanese and Chinese scripts are scripts with a long history and are very important for development of writing and its shaping in Chinese and Japanese history. About the way the alphabet came about and its development, this paper tried to summarize all the essential facts for understanding the Japanese alphabet as well as the language. Throughout Chinese history, many written evidences of the origin of writing have been found. Gradually, the script moved across the Korean peninsula to Japan, where it was adapted to the Japanese language. Because of the language difference, there is a shortening and simplification of Chinese characters and the development of different ways of writing and the division of letters into hiragana and katakana. From pictographs to today's way of writing the Japanese language, the script has gone through many changes that have been recorded on stone, silk, paper and other sources. Even today, there are many attempts to shorten or remove Chinese characters from the Japanese script, and it is only a matter of time before there will actually be some major change in the Japanese script. History changes, and with that change, the most famous works in Japan and the complex Japanese script that is still used today are created.
