jan 1, 901 - Kana is used more frequently

By the latter of the 10th century, members of nobility were using kana to write books and poems. Women in particular used kana because written Japanese was still considered to be less appropriate for educated men than written Chinese. Aristocratic males continued to write in classical Chinese.
