Example Sentences

- "The earliest extant texts of Japanese origin which exhibit a degree of cursivity are, like their Chinese counterparts, on wooden tablets, though in this case dating from the late seventh and early eighth centuries; the next earliest cursivized texts are perhaps the Shōsōin phonogram texts A and B (ca.762)."
