This thesis attempts to enumerate research performed to investigate the actual usage and construction of kana in Zeami's writing. Zeami 世阿弥(1363?〜1443?),who is well-knowrl for his life as a writer of Noh plays, passed on a number of his writings to his son Shiro 四郎 and son-in-law Zenchiku 禅竹. Asurvey of Zeami's writing with the aim of authentication, performed by Omote & Goto resulted in two comprehensive reports(1979,1980), These two reports created the precedent for the academic study of Zeami's kana. They demonstrated some distinctions in his usage of Japanese syllabic writing. However, further examination regarding his distribution system is required. The aim of this research is to contribute to the study of Zeami's writing by focusing upon the historical context. This investigation focused on where Zeami placed kana in his words(e.g. which letter is placed at the beginning of a word). It needs to be made clear where he placedαletter andωhich kana he chose. To investigate these two issues, the researcher counted the number of alternate kinds of letters, and then calculated what percentage of these letters were used at the initial position(or termination). The results are as follows: (1) One kana for one syllable is 47.9% (plural kana for one syllable is 52.1%). (2) We can see a gradual convergence in the amount of kana. Comparing this result with the result from others'writing, more often than others, it is possible to observe a tendency for particular kana to be gradually used like one pair for one syllable. (3)Some kana tend to be used at the initial position, while others are rarely used.
