  Iroha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The iroha is used as an indicator of sound changes in the spoken Japanese language in the Heian era.
For this reason, the poem was frequently used as an ordering of the Japanese syllabary until the Meiji era reforms in the 19th century.
Although the iroha is thought of as being more "old fashioned" than the gojūon, the earliest known copy of the gojūon predates the iroha.

 The Mysteries of the Japanese Iroha Syllabary
The Iroha Syllabary is an old Japanese alphabet consisting of 47 phonetic symbols.
Thus, the Iroha Syllabary indicates that God dispatched the Christ, who was supposed to bear the cross for humanity, to the earth, and that the Christ died without sin in accordance with the biblical covenant.
He is credited with all kinds of miraculous and practical abilities including flood-control and the invention of the iroha syllabary and is believed by the devout to be dormant in samadhi rather than deceased.

 Andy's Playing Cards - Japanese Matching Cards - Iroha Karuta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Iroha Karuta is a game very similar to Uta Karuta, described in part 1; being based on traditional Japanese proverbs, it is suitable for players who are not familiar with Hyaku-nin Isshu poems, in particular young children.
A fewer number of Iroha decks feature both illustrations and text on all 96 cards of the set (a similar variety also exists for Uta Karuta): 48 subjects show the first half of each proverb, while the other 48 show the last part.
Instead, the ordering of Iroha cards is not random: it is based on an old poem from the Heian period, for which the Buddhist monk Kukai (774-835) is traditionally credited.

This is known as "iroha dokun" in Japanese.
The "iroha dokun" here at Kids' Japan were originally written by Ichijo Chikoshonin at the Zenko Temple.
Probably when you look at the characters used to write the "iroha dokun", you think that they look like childrens' scribble or coloring and that you can not understand anything.

 Casbah's Webster Notes
The Clash subs rose from their seats on the bench as they watched the unmarked Iroha swung his lethal left foot forward in preparation for a certain goal.
Ben Iroha was trailing Jones, but Iroha read Jones' play well, and the Nigerian managed to get his foot to the ball before Jones could get off a shot.
Since Iroha's challenge came from behind, and since Iroha had made firm upper-body contact with Jones, referee Esse Baharmast felt compelled to point to the spot, even though Iroha had won the ball cleanly with his feet.

 Andy's Playing Cards - Japanese Matching Cards - Dôsai Karuta · Mubeyama Karuta
Some cunning players thought of creating patterns of their own, that mimicked the legal cards by featuring proverbs and poems, but had additional numerals on them: this would have made them still suitable for gambling, while their look would have deceived the inspectors.
The Dôsai cards are also similar in size to Hanafuda and other gambling cards rather than to Iroha ones, and the number of subjects is greater (sixty-two and sixty-two), but in early times their overall look could have been easily mistaken for innocent proverb cards.
Some of the proverbs featured are in common with Iroha editions, especially with the Kamigata Iroha series, as the one on the right; others were also shared with the obsolete "50-verse cards" or the old Dousai karuta series, while others are unique of the present version.
