A collection of colloquialisms

Japanese: 俚言集覧 - りげんしゅうらん
A collection of colloquialisms

A Japanese dictionary in 26 volumes. It was revised and expanded based on Genen by Ota Zensai (1759-1829). It was named in contrast to Gagenshuran, and contains a wealth of proverbs, slang, Chinese words, Buddhist terms, and proper nouns, making it a notable collection of colloquial vocabulary from the Edo period. Words are arranged in the order of the horizontal lines of the Japanese syllabary (akasa... ikishi...) down to the second syllable, with definitions and references. It was handed down in manuscript form, but Inoue Yorikuni and Kondo Mikaki revised it into the current alphabetical order and further expanded it, publishing it in three volumes as Zoho Rigenshuran (1899-1900).
