Hiragana, katakana and kanji were the three primary reading characters in modern Japan. During his travels and visits throughout Asia, Kazi learned and memorized every facet of Japanese linguistics. He further developed his understanding and mastery when he visited Japan and the small islands. Every dialect, how to use a brush and stroke a kanji, he learned it all. Here in this era, it was not exactly the same as it was there. Since they were at the literal start of Edo era, a period of transition, Chinese influence reigned supreme and a writing system known as Kanbun was used by officials. Kanbun was Japanese writing using Classical Chinese.
In general, kanji mixed with hiragana was common for personal letters, while kanji-only kanbun was used for official or public documents. Poetry and very personal letters often used fewer kanji and mostly hiragana. Books printed entirely in hiragana were made for those with limited literacy.
