“ばあちゃんと声かけくれた男（お）の孫の散歩しようと手をかしくるる”
― Mitsue Yamamoto edited by Mr. Kajiwara, March 8th, 2013
やまとうた (Yamatouta) is an open-source online database for yamato-kotoba, which is like Anglish for Japanese; and for yamato-uta, a type of poetry in classical Japanese literature. やまとうた is the successor project of いにしえのまなび (Inishienomanabi), an online yamato-kotoba dictionary, which was founded in 2015. Key features from いにしえのまなび will be gradually merged into やまとうた.
This project is still in a very early stage of development.

Thanks a lot!
