Collection of economical items - Setsyoshu

Japanese: 節用集 - せつようしゅう

(Also called "Setchoshu" in the Muromachi period) [1] A dictionary of characters and Japanese language from the mid-Muromachi period. It was compiled before the Bunmei era ( 1469-87 ). The editor is unknown, but there is a theory that it was a monk from Kennin-ji Temple. Characters are searched for by the initial letters of the words in alphabetical order and by semantic classification. When necessary, the meaning and origin of the characters are also mentioned. It spawned various manuscripts and woodblock prints, and the title of this book even came to be seen as a general term for similar books, and it was published until the early Showa period. Those published before the Keicho period are divided into three types: the Ise version, in which the first word in the "I" section of the Tenchimon gate begins with "Ise," the India version, which also begins with "India," and the Inui version, in which the first word in the Kenkonmon gate begins with "In. " The main books include the Kuromoto book ( copy ), the Tensho 18 book, the Manjuya book, and the Irin book (all woodblock prints), and the Ikyoshu and Wakan Tsuyoshu (all copies) with different titles. *Yoshikawa Family Documents Separate Collection - (year unknown) (Muromachi) February 27th, handwritten letter from Yoshikawa Motonaga: "Recently, I have been attending a six-day ceremony, so if you would like to play with the Setsuyoshu, _{I would like to} _congratulate you." *Ukiyo-zoshi, Saikaku Oridome (1694), vol. ₁ : "The village headman has often asked me about difficult characters that he cannot find in the Setsuyoshu. " [2] Practical books of culture and collections of trivia. ※Fujin Bunko (1914) 3 “This book is the third volume of the Fujin Bunko Collection of Setsuyo, and contains ten volumes in seven parts, including a guide to women’s education, a guide to learning Japanese and Chinese calligraphy, a moral book with illustrated songs, a guide to makeup in the capital’s customs and customs, a comprehensive guide to our school’s Setsuyo cuisine, a quick guide to pickling in all seasons, and a guide to confectionery in Funabashi.” [Glossary] (1) The meaning of “Setsuyo” is said to mean “to be needed from time to time ” (Collected Words, Hashimoto Shinkichi), or to have come from the phrase “ _{Use setsuyo} to love _people ” in the Analects of Confucius – Learning (Nakata Norio), but is the latter theory more appropriate?
(2) In the early modern period, the style was that of a dry book, but from the 18th century onwards, supplements and illustrations in the style of a complete collection of knowledge began to be included, reaching their peak in the 19th century. In modern times, the style of (2) came to be used more often, and complete collections of knowledge without a dictionary section came to be called "setsuyo (shu)."
(3) In the latter half of the 18th century, the Iroha double lookup and the lookup by the presence or absence of special kana (voiced consonants, glottal stops, and drawn consonants) were invented, but the Iroha and kana number lookup quick lookup setsubunshu came to dominate the others. However, from the mid-Meiji period, as small-format modern Japanese dictionaries were published, they were eliminated.

(室町時代には「せっちょうしゅう」とも)[1] 室町中期の用字集、国語辞書。文明年間（一四六九‐八七）以前の成立。編者は未詳だが、建仁寺の僧かとする説がある。語の頭字のイロハ順と意味分類とで用字を検索する。用字には必要に応じて語義・語源などにも触れることがある。各種の写本・板本を生み、本書名は類書の総称の観すら呈するに至り、昭和初年まで刊行をみた。慶長以前のものは、「い」部天地門の初出の語が、「伊勢」で始まる伊勢本、同じく「印度」で始まる印度本、乾坤門初出の語が「乾」で始まる乾本(いぬいぼん)の三種に分けられる。主な諸本に、黒本(くろもと)本（写本）、天正一八年本・饅頭屋本・易林本（以上板本）、書名を異にする伊京集・和漢通用集（以上写本）などがある。※吉川家文書別集‐（年未詳）（室町）二月二七日・吉川元長自筆書状「近比御六ケ敷儀にて候へ共、節用集を遊候て給候はば可_レ為_二祝着_一候」※浮世草子・西鶴織留（1694）一「節用集(セツヨウシウ)に見えわたらぬ難字を、庄屋殿より度々たづね給ふに」[2] 実用的な教養書、雑学集。※婦人文庫（1914）三「本書は婦人文庫第三巻節用集として、女学範、和漢筆道手習指南、教訓歌絵、都風俗化粧伝、当流節用料理大全、四季漬物早指南、菓子話船橋の七部十巻を収む」[語誌](1)「節用」の意味については、「時々要(い)る」の意（俚言集覧・橋本進吉）とも、「論語‐学而」の「節_レ用而愛_レ人」から出た（中田祝夫）ともいわれるが、後者の説が妥当か。
(2)近世では、乾本系のものが行なわれたが、一八世紀以降、教養全書風の付録や挿絵が併載されるようになり、一九世紀には最盛期をむかえた。近代になると、(二)の用法で使われることが多くなり、辞書部分のない教養全書が「節用（集）」と称されるにいたる。
(3)一八世紀後半には、イロハ二重引き、特殊仮名（濁音・撥音・引音）の有無で引くものなどが考案されたが、イロハ・仮名数引きの早引節用集が他を圧するようになる。ただし、明治中期から、近代的な国語辞書の小型判が刊行されるにしたがい、淘汰された。
