Abstract(in English)	Japanese Sign Language (JSL) is gestural, with no written expression. We learn signs in JSL by another person's gesture. We imitate the gesture until we master it. Easy sign descriptions written only in Japanese help us to learn signs without another person's gesture. We study a method to describe signs easily. In this paper, we present a description method of hand shape in sign with Japanese. We also propose two applications of the description method : a personal electric dictionary of signs using it, and a method of displaying hand shape movements of the described signs.
