How do you spell culture in kanji?

There isn't one single kanji that translates perfectly to "culture" in the English sense. The Japanese word for culture depends on the nuance you want to convey. Here are a few options and their meanings:

* 文化 (bunka): This is the most common and general translation of "culture." It refers to a society's intellectual, artistic, and social achievements and traditions.

* 文明 (bunmei): This means "civilization" and is sometimes used interchangeably with "culture," but it emphasizes material progress and societal development more.

Therefore, the best kanji spelling depends on the context. For most general uses, 文化 (bunka) is the correct choice.
