Nichiren's Writings

Abstract

In this article, I aimed to detail a classic type of ‘kana’ which Nichiren used. By studying Nichiren's writing from the viewpoint of hentaigana, we can throw fresh light on problems of Nichiren's writings which have long been argued about, such as determining their dates, examining passages hard to read, discriminating genuine writing from false, as well as examining relevant manuscripts whose autographs have been lost.
