text:
Shinsen Jikyō The Shinsen Jikyō is the first Japanese dictionary containing native kun'yomi "Japanese readings" of Chinese characters. The title is also written 新選字鏡 with the graphic variant sen for sen. The Heian Period Buddhist monk Shōjū (昌住) completed the Shinsen Jikyō during the Shōtai era. The preface explains that his motivation for compiling a Japanese dictionary was the inconvenience of looking up Chinese characters in the Tang dynasty dictionary by Xuan Ying (玄應), the Yiqiejing yinyi.
