My book "Japanese Morphography: Deconstructing hentai kanbun" published by Brill is out now! The e-book is already available and the hardback version will follow very soon.

For everyone interested in the history of writing in Japan or morphography.

A new paper of mine just got published in the new issue of Japonica Humboldtiana. It is concerned with Japanese handbooks on letter writing and particularly the expression of politeness by decursivizing the script.

If you are interested, drop me a DM.

The new issue of BJOAF includes not one but two papers on kanbun kundoku! My part deals with the challenges and adaptations of kundoku in the realm of colloquial Chinese texts.

If you are interested, drop me a DM.

Also check out Sven Osterkamp's paper!

Just uploaded a new paper on the diversity of writing styles in pre-modern Japan, mostly in regard but not limited to the Heike monogatari.

I'm particularly intrigued by the so-called manabon 真名本 - manuscripts written predominantly in kanji.

Neat poster design from the 60s by Yokoo Tadanori.

Reminiscent of Ukiyo-e including funky use of sinograms.

時夜無・銀髪婆人 for "John Silver" (the name of the play).

Note especially the edition of Mark in Murray's "numeral type" (= N.T.Chin.d.29), a quite amazing way of writing Mandarin. For an outline of this Braille-based numeral system, see:

Another interesting hybrid approach (print from 1829) to glossing a similar causative construction.

読み添え of シテ (≈ "new" approach) but the シム is still attached to the left side of the graph (≈ "old" approach)not right side. Not sure but it's probably intentional.

[Gordian Schreiber@Managraphy @managraphy]

I think it's safe to say that at this point in time (print is from 1857) there was some confusion on how to deal with the glossing of causatives, here 教, and where to place シテ for the causee in particular.

Old: Treat 教 as a 再読文字
New: 読み添え of シテ
???: Do both!

The weird side of kundoku.

① 也 is an okiji. Ignore it and don't read it.
② Now add 𬻿 (= short form of 也) in your reading.

Thanks, I guess.
