Abstract
⺠Determinants of synesthetic colors for Japanese logogram, Kanji, were studied. ⺠Kanji characters are acquired later in development than other types of Japanese graphemes. ⺠Results showed that colors for Kanji characters depend on meaning and phonology. ⺠Colors are generalized from graphemes acquired early in life to Kanji characters acquired later. ⺠Substantial involvement of normal language processing in synesthesia is suggested.
