Collection of Fallen Leaves - Rakuyoshu

Japanese: 落葉集 - らくようしゅう

Dictionary. Compiled by the Society of Jesus in Japan. Published in Nagasaki in 1598 (Keicho 3). A dictionary for learning how to read Chinese words and kanji, it consists of three parts: Honhen (sound-based), Irohajishu (reading-based), and Kodamahen (character shape-based). It is based on the Setsuyoshu (a collection of phrases used in Japan at the time), "Wadamahen," but the idea of dividing Japanese into two parts, sound-based and reading-based, for the convenience of practical use can be said to be rational and original. Contains about 2,200 kanji characters.
