 <p>The project was started in 2010 since we couldn't find any
 				high-quality, actively maintained and easy-to-use Java-based
 				Japanese morphological analyzers, and these become many of our
 				design goals for Kuromoji.

 				Kuromoji also has a segmentation mode that
 				is particularly useful for
 				search, which we hope will interest Apache
 				Lucene and Solr users.
 				Compound-nouns, such as 関西国際空港 (Kansai
 				International Airport) and
 				日本経済新聞 (Nikkei Newspaper), are segmented
 				as one token with most
 				analyzers. As a result, a search for 空港
 				(airport) or 新聞 (newspaper)
 				will not give you a for in these words.
 				Kuromoji can segment these
 				words into 関西 国際 空港 and 日本 経済 新聞, which is
 				generally what you would
 				want for search and you'll get a hit.

 				The
 				target was to make sure the technology has a license that makes it
 				compatible with other Apache Software Foundation software to
 				maximize its usefulness. Kuromoji has an Apache License 2.0 and all
 				code is currently owned by Atilika Inc. The software has been
 				developed by Masaru Hasegawa and
