This Month’s Antique Book
Kana-mozi-dzukai（仮名文字遣）

Location：Central Library Valuable Materials Collection

Have you ever experienced confusion when reading
ancient Japanese texts, such as “なほ（nao）” ,“おのおの（ono-ono）,” and “おく（oku）,” because they are
written differently even though they sound the same? Infact, people in those days had similar problems.
“Kana-moji-dzukai” (written by Gyoa) is a book that
stipulated which words should be written in which kanascript during the Nanbokucho period (1336-1392). It isalso called “Teika Kana-dzukai（定家仮名遣）” because ofits association with “Teika Fujiwara （藤原定家）” in thepreface.
