伊佐見武道教室拳法会(伊佐見協働センター毎週木曜19時~)
オーストラリアのメルボルンからの拳法会武道研修生 マシュー・ヒュース(Matthew Hiughes)もう1ヶ月過ぎてしまいました。
今日は、質問がありました。 「カタカナ」は、いつどうしてできたの?「ひらがな」もいつどうしてできたの???
〇カタカナ:平安時代(9世紀?)お寺の坊さんがお経につけた記号。「阿の左側→ア」、「伊の左側→イ」、「宇の上側→ウ」、「江の右側→エ」、となった。
〇ひたがな:これも平安時代、女性が書きやすいように「阿→あ」、「以→い」となった。
こっちもなかなか勉強になります。
Isami Budo Class Kenpo-kai (Held at the Isami Collaborative Center every Thursday from 7:00 PM)
It has already been over a month since Matthew Hughes, a Kenpo-kai Budo trainee from Melbourne, Australia, arrived.
Today, he asked some questions: "When and why was *Katakana* created? And when and why was *Hiragana* created?"
〇 *Katakana*: Originated in the Heian period (9th century?) as symbols added to sutras by Buddhist monks. For example, the left side of the character "阿" became "ア," the left side of "伊" became "イ," the top part of "宇" became "ウ," and the right side of "江" became "エ."
〇 *Hiragana*: Also originating in the Heian period, these were developed to make writing easier for women; for instance, "阿" became "あ" and "以" became "い."
I’m learning a lot from this, too.
