Category:Japanese terms with rare senses

Japanese terms with individual senses that are rarely found in general use and may not be recognized by some native speakers.

To categorize into this category, use {{lb|ja|rare}} (template lb, not tlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense.

If the term itself, in all its senses, is rare, it should be placed in [[Category:Japanese rare terms]] instead, using {{tlb|ja|rare}} (template tlb instead of lb), which should typically be placed next to the headword. If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized in [[Category:Japanese rare forms]] (using {{rare form of|ja|...}} or {{rare spelling of|ja|...}}).

Rare senses should be distinguished from uncommon senses, which are not common but used enough to be generally recognized.

The following labels generate this category: rare (alias rare sense)^edit; very rare^edit. To generate this category using one of these labels, use {{lb|ja|label}}.
