Kana is traditionally said to have been invented by the Buddhist priest Kūkai in the 9th century. Buddhism is a family of beliefs and practices A priest or priestess is a person having the authority or power to administer religious rites in particular rites of sacrifice to and propitiation of a deity or deities Kūkai (ja 空海 or also known posthumously as Kōbō-Daishi (ja 弘法大師 774&ndash835 CE was a Japanese monk, Scholar The 9th century is the period from 801 to 900 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian / Common Era. Kūkai certainly brought the Siddham script home on his return from China in 806; his interest in the sacred aspects of speech and writing led him to the conclusion that Japanese would be better represented by a phonetic alphabet than by the kanji which had been used up to that point.

Collation
Kana are the basis for collation in Japanese. They are taken in the order given by the gojūon (あ い う え お … わ を ん), though iroha ordering is used for enumeration in some circumstances. The gojūon (五十音 is a Japanese ordering of Kana. Gojū (五十 means "fifty" and on (音 as in on'yomi This article refers to the Japanese poem For the video game character see Iroha (Samurai Shodown. Dictionaries differ in the sequence order for long/short vowel distinction, small tsu and diacritics. As the Japanese do not use word spaces (except for children), there can be no word-by-word collation; all collation is kana-by-kana.
