iroha dokun*










"Those who sleep late and don't work hard will be poor"

















"New wisdom can be found in old things"






















*
Iroha dokun refers to Japanese "ways of living" written in Iroha order, which means
that the first letter of each "way of living" begins using a character that corresponds to the same order that is used in hiragana. The second "way of living" will begin using a character corresponding to the second character of the hiragana set. The number of hiragana and the number of "ways of living" are thus the same.
