Japanese version of legume page ( http://www.gene.affrc.go.jp/plant/image/legume_j.html ) with links to photos, descriptions etc. Japanese software necessary, but this page can also be viewed via either Shodouka or ACCESS-J, paste the URL you have just copied (green URL) in the little window the ACCESS-J site, press "return" and wait a couple of minutes. Technology will do the rest. Marvellous is it not ? The English version of the page is linked to the Japanese pages. Modern computers use Unicode, solving this old problem.
