意味 MeaningHiragana (ひらがな) is a basic character set like ABC, Alphabet in Western culture. Each Hiragana has a sound, for example, あ sounds A, and お sounds O. The Japanese word あお sounds Ao and means blue. Japanese children learn Hiragana in first grade, or Grade 1, public elementary school (小学校) at age six. After the children master Hiragana, they go a stage further: Katakana (カタカナ) and Kanji (漢字). Many introductory textbooks are written with Hurigana (ふりがな), the Hiragana assistant. So, we teachers advise students to start with mastering Hiragana.

Mystery of やいゆえよ and わゐうゑを
い and え in やいゆえよ have been assimilated to あいうえお. いえ in やいゆえよ and いえ in あいうえお are used in the exact same way in modern Japanese: the same letters, the same sounds, and the same meanings.

ゐ and ゑ in わゐうゑを are not used in modern Japanese. Some public schools do not teach these two characters at all. However, they appear in classic Japanese (古典日本語) written before Meiji Restoration (明治維新 1868CE).

The sounds やいゆえよ ( Ya Yi Yu Ye Yo ) and わゐうゑを ( Wa Wi Wu We Wo ) remain in modern Korean (現代韓国語) and modern Chinese (現代中国語).

歴史 History
After the arrival of Kanji from the Asian continent, people in the Japanese archipelago made Hiragana (ひらがな) and Katakana (カタカナ) by modifying Kanji.

Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana were used in different situations. Kanji was mainly used in formal documents for writing laws and regulations. Hiragana and Katakana were for daily use. All Hiragana have a cursive form so they are easy to write with a brush on paper, favored by indoor workers. On the contrary, all Katakana have a sharp form so they are easy to carve in stone and wood, favored by outdoor workers.

In the Heian period (平安時代 794CE--1192CE 398years), Kino Tsurayuki (紀貫之), an aristocrat from Kyoto, was asked by the emperor to compile a poetry collection. He wrote the introduction of the collection in both Kanji and Hiragana.

The most influential works written in Hiragana are Iroha Uta (いろは歌), Kokin Wakashu (古今和歌集), Makurano Soushi (枕草子), and Genji Monogatari (源氏物語). All the works are taught in Japanese public schools.
