In vertical writing, brackets are rotated 90 degrees.
「quotation」
Corner brackets (「」) are often used for quotation marks in written Japanese, which avoids confusion with the graphically similar ten-ten voicing mark゛", however variants of western style quotation marks may be encountered e.g. 〞double prime quotation mark, which may also be evident in the low position 〟or reversed〝. Corner brackets may also be used for book titles.
〖square brackets〗
Lenticular brackets〖used in headings〗, and square ones〚 used for abstract syntax 〛are popular in Japan
〈yama kakko〉or 《hill brackets》
You will see angled yamakakko or ‘hill’ brackets 〈single〉or 《double》 used for parenthesis, and other forms are also popular such as tortoise 〔shell〕 〔used to insert comments into quoted text〕
