Norito

Norito (祝詞) are ancient Japanese Liturgy.

The first written documentation of Norito dates to 712 AD in the Kojiki and 720 AD in the Nihongi. Later documentation appeared in 927 AD as part of the Engi-shiki, a compilation of laws and minute regulation presented by the court.

Reading Norito requires furigana because of the unusual readings of the kanji.
