oku no hosomichi kanji

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

The image below is from my evolving HTML page of Bashō's oku no hosomichi travel journal [ 奥の細道 ] with furigana as superscript and the kanji that are neither in the most common newspaper 2,500 nor in KLC* are hi-lighted with a yellow background. Note that the 2 kanji forming his literary name are among those of note. Perapera shows many as being found in Heisig's Remembering the Kanji.

This is not intended as any criticism of Conning's 2013 Kanji Learner's Course : his 2,300 kanji should be viewed as a selection from the larger 2nd ed. of  Halpern's Kanji Learner's Dictionary. But it is a good indication that something on the order of 3 to even 5 thousand kanji are needed to read literary Japanese with 3000 a likely minimum for literacy beyond the daily news.

ONH kanji not KLC in MFNK

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

These 54 kanji found in Bashō's 奥の細道 or Oku no hosomichi [ONH] are not found in KLC* but can be found in the 2,500 MFNK or "most frequent newspaper kanji" used by jisho.org, edrg and others.  The new Halpern KLD 2nd ed uses a set of 3,000 but on the web perhaps these can be found more readily as the K2500 :

Problematic non-KLC kanji in Basho's journal oku no hosomichi

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

These 53 kanji in Bashō's journal Oku no hosomichi are not found in the KLC* book, but can be found in other Bashou haiku. Below is a list : a kanji with fnnnn has a freq <= 2500/2500 in newspapers, or I have given a Heisig index from Remembering The Kanji or the SKIP code(s) found at jisho.org on the web.

You will see below that nine (9) of the kanji only have a SKIP code : they will be problematic of a someone learning using Conning's KLC and Halpern's KLD even with a web resource.

Those are : 侘 俤 啼 壺 艸 虱 蜘 袂 鞋

月清遊行砂上

五日亭主詞雨降

名月北国日和定

種浜

日空霽小貝種濱舟走
海上里天屋何某云破篭小竹筒
僕舟追風時吹着濱
海士小家侘法花寺爰茶飲酒
夕感堪

寂須磨濱秋

波間小貝萩塵

其日等栽筆寺残

大垣

路通此出国伴駒
大垣庄入曾良伊勢来合越人馬
如行家入集前川子荊口父子其外人
日夜蘇生且悦且
旅物長月日伊勢遷
宮又舟

蛤行秋

Most of the above matches to the Kodansha KLC* and the rest can be found in Denshi Jisho on-line or using a browser plugin such as Perapera.  I enjoy progressively removing the line-endings and then some kanji in an editor until it becomes a challenge to spot duplicate kanji.  Did I miss any katakana ? Any hiragana oddities ?

Kanji in the KLC haiku rump

These 63 KLC Kanji not found in my online Basho are also not in my online Shiki :

燧爰發禄稟穗竟籬縱羇羈耀而聊臻

Kodansha KLC kanji found in Basho's Oku no hosomichi

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

Without regard for numerals and such trivia, only 884 of 2,288 kanji from the KLC 2,300 of Andrew Scott Conning were found in my version of Basho's oku no hosomichi travel journal "Narrow Road to the Interior."

That set of 1054 kanji is not an excellent match for a single text which is available online as there are another 170 kanji not found in KLC.

Here are the remaining kanji beyond the KLC set that remain without a mnemonic found explicitly in the Basho text:

也云什仍仭伽佛侘俤偖傳兎凌劔卅叡叢哉哥啄啼堵墅壺夷寞峯嵩嶋嶽巖帋幟幡庄庇廟廻廿恙惣愍憐憚應扣按捲摺撰擔敦斯曳曾朔朦朧杭柏栖桧梺棹椽樋樫橡欹歟毅汀泪洛浙淬渟渠湊潭濱瀧灸燈燧爰琵琶瑞甍硯碧礒禀禄穿竃竪笈笹筵篠篭簾籬羈翠耀而耶聊肴臥艸芦芭苔苫茄荊莫菅菩菰萩萬萱葡蒭蓑蔔蕉薩蘆處虱蚤蛤蜑蜘蝉蠶袂訥誹謂蹶輔辧逍逗鋪鍬鐙闍闢隈雉雎霽鞋鞍頽餘餞鯖鳧鴈鴬龍

You may already have spotted the name 芭蕉 in the set above !

I will check how many of these will match directly into other of his haiku ... online ... and I hit 53 which leaves me only 113 to track down elsewhere !  But are those 53 in, say, the frequent 3,000 for Halpern's KLD ?

也云伽侘俤兎叡哉啄啼壺夷嶽幟廟廻摺曾朧柏

Well, I recognize some of them and Denshi Jisho found them (max 20 at a time in a kanji search.)

RE-POST : We will post our list of KLC kanji not found in Bashō or in Merwin's Buson haiku HERE on this page later today, and then the remainder not found in Shiki either.  Then to Issa. 

UPDATE : 1,177 KLC* kanji not found in the haiku of Bashō or Merwin's Yosa Buson ; a Shiki kanzan-rakubokui DIFF on these drops the remainder to 720 as per today's Post.

autumn wind kanji

Here is an image of the Curl applet with Bashō haiku with most of the kana removed:

I find this encouraging as a student of kanji ... I see at a glance how far I have come and how far I have to go yet !

kana : Japanese syllabary characters, either hiragana or katakana ( as easy as Italian or Russian.)
kanji : characters from Chinese used for their sound, their meaning or both ( and multiples of these !)

haiku kanji kana

In making a list of the kanji used by Bashō in his haiku, I decided to produce a version of the haiku with most kana suppressed.

Here is one snapshot from a list of haiku running in rows left to right :

I find it quite fascinating to scroll nearly 1000 rows after removing nearly as many of one hiragana character. Which do you think it was ?

dawn in early hokku or haikai

In my working wiki web collection of 980 Bashō haiku, I can only find one of today's nine single kanji for "dawn" —  旦 旴 昉 昕 倝 晗 暁 曉 曙  — and that kanji − 曙 − is there only once as such, and then once transliterated with the "akarui" kanji to form the kana expression "akebono" as in "akeru" (明ける.)

Were these kanji eschewed as being those of more formal Chinese poetry ?
