This paper examines the choice of Chinese characters in "Kokin-wakasyu" (poetry) and "Sanboe" (Buddhism story). Both texts had two styles of orthography: "Hiragana-bun" (a mixed writing of Chinese characters with "Hiragana" syllabary and "Katakana-bun" (that with "Katakana" one). The two styles of orthography were formed in the middle of the Heian period. While "Hiragana-bun" was employed in the "wabun" (a style based mainly upon Japanese) such as a poetry and a tale, "Katakana-bun" was used in the "Kanbun-kundoku" (a style influenced by Chinese) such as a Buddhism story. The two styles were different in the choice of Chinese characters. In the end of the Heian period, the two styles of orthography were confused, and employed in both the "Wabun" and "Kanbun-kundoku", irrelevantly. For example, while some reprints of "Kokin-wakasyu" (poetry) were written in "Katakana-bun", those of "Sanboe" (Buddhism story) in "Hiragana-bun". However, regarding to the choice of the Chinese characters, some particular words in "Katakana-bun" were converted into Chinese characters, because of the effects of the "Kanbun-kundoku" style.
