I am Kazuhiro Okada, a researcher who is in love with Hokkaido. My research focuses on the Japanese writing system and historical Japanese linguistics, especially in phonology, pragmatics and a history of studies of the language. I have learned some languages: Classical Japanese, English and Latin. ORCID: 0000-0003-4167-1938

For my researches, see CV.

The title of this blog literally means “[the] spirit of Kana script.” It comes from the beginning of a short story, Moji-ka (The Evils of Writing), written by Nakajima Atsushi: “Is there the evils of writing, or not?”
