KuLA, short for Kuzushiji Learning Application, is a valuable tool designed to aid users in learning to read kuzushiji characters commonly found in classical Japanese texts. Developed for iPhone by Yuta Hashimoto, this free educational app is a must-have for those interested in delving into old Japanese writings. With over 3000 images of individual characters, KuLA offers a comprehensive learning experience through its three main sections.

In the 'Learn' section, users can master hentaigana and cursive-style kanji, accompanied by review tests to track progress. Transitioning to the 'Read' section, users can practice reading kuzushiji in context with excerpts from Edo period books like Hojoki and Shinpan Nazonazo Sugoroku. The 'Connect' section encourages social interaction among learners, providing a platform to seek help and share knowledge. KuLA opens the door to classical Japanese literature and documents in a user-friendly mobile interface.
