Description
Have you ever wanted to read what it says in old Japanese paintings?How about books that describe swords from the Edo period?Reading books from the Edo period or earlier requires the ability to read ākuzushijiā ā characters written in a style not used today. KuLA, the Kuzushiji Learning Application, was developed to help people learn kuzushiji effectively on a smartphone or tablet.Using the test and social-media functions in KuLA will make learning difficult characters easy and fun. KuLA has three main sections:-LearnThis section is for learning how to read hentaigana (hiragana that are no longer used today) and cursive-style kanji, using over 3000 images of individual characters. Progress can be checked using the review tests.-ReadRemembering only the characters isnāt enough for reading actual texts.In this section, kuzushiji can be practiced in context using images taken from books published in the Edo period. This version currently includes Hojoki (An Account of My Hut), Shinpan Nazonazo Sugoroku (New Edition Riddle Sugoroku [an illustrated board game]), and Aramimei Zukushi Koshu (New Sword Inscriptions, Continued).-ConnectDid you find characters you canāt read? Why not ask other users?!The Connect section features social-media tools which allow communication with other kuzushiji learners over the internet, such as by posting a question to the message board with attached pictures of difficult characters.Letās enter the world of classical Japanese literature and documents with KuLA!KuLA was primarily developed in the Graduate Faculty of Letters, Osaka University for the research project āDeveloping an International Educational Program Related to Japanese Classical booksā (Project leader: Professor Iikura Yoichi) and was supported by the JSPS KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research (2015).- Added English support- "Connect" section now allows Twitter/Google login

Helps you learn to identify kuzushiji in a fun way! It's excellent!
I love the test function, and it works better than the one in Waseda uni's app. I think I'll take my time trying other functions too. Especially the 'connect'! Thanks for making the app. Love the cute gokiburi-ish thingy *___*
Fantastic app for learning to read old characters and cursive Japanese. Now with English support too (though I wouldn't really recommend it to beginners in Japanese)
What a cool app! Reading kuzushiji has always intimidated me but this app makes it easy and fun to study and try reading a variety of texts.
Very entertaining game....š¤¬š¤¬ U can not do anything in this sh** game. But i give it a 5 star because i am nice.
This app is exactly something I was looking for!
