A recitation of 48 characters in which all the kana are read without repeating the same kana. The full text is as follows: Ame (heaven) Tsuchi (earth) Hoshi (star) Sora (sky) Yama (mountain) Kaha (river) Mine (peak) Tani (valley) Kumo (cloud) Kiri (fog) Muro (room) Koke (moss) Hito (person) Inu (dog) Ue (upper) Sue (end) Yuwa (sulfur) Saru (monkey) Ofu (grow) E (branch) of a (zelkova) Na (familiar) I (stay) The meaning is difficult to understand after "Ofusyo", and there is a theory that different kanji are used. The reason there are 48 characters is to distinguish between "e" in the A row and "e" in the Ya row, which shows that it was created in a time when the two were phonetically distinct. Therefore, it is older than the 47-character "Iroha Song" and is probably thought to have been created in the early Heian period. The author and the original purpose of its creation are unknown, but it is likely that it was created by somehow reorganizing the 50-syllable chart. Also, until the "Iroha Song" became popular, it was used for writing practice, along with the "Naniwazu no Uta."
