Manuscript of Senchu-fu (lit. Thousand insects picture book). The original work was written up by Kurimoto Tanshu, and manuscripts were made one after another. Some of the creatures listed in the book are not classified as insects today. https://t.co/UTsFJZLYeI https://t.co/t9NJxxS3EB
@JPRidgeway There's also this nice thingy here which might be included as well. ;-) (AFAIK it's not in Unicode yet, so see the pics. Left = 18th c. xylograph, right = 20th c. NKBT edition.)

Wamyō ruiju shō 倭名類聚抄, a Japanese dictionary of c. 934, starts with astral terms. The Pleiades (mǎo 昴 in Chinese) are called 須八流 (Subaru) in Japanese. Connected with Agni, which is a bit of Vedic influence via Amoghavajra's astrology manual. https://t.co/Z99F6iQlXl https://t.co/MakZKsizPz
@NDLJP_en Finally, the most interesting items, namely a few related to Korean. Here's the first: a short text in Korean followed by its translation into Japanese @ https://t.co/PRHXUqrWUA -- What the text is about? Well, about drinking and having fun! What else could it be. 11/ https://t.co/zwFdx6K1iC
