Chihayafuru kamiyo mo kikazu tatsutagawa kara kurenai ni mizu kukuruto wa
Kokin Wakashu, Volume 5, Autumn Poems Part 2, 293
Composed as a topic when the Empress of Nijo was known as the Consort of the Crown Prince, depicting maple leaves flowing in the Tatsuta River on a folding screen.

Ariwara no Narihira (825-880)
A nobleman and poet of the early Heian period.
Grandson of Emperor Heizei.
First appearance in the Kokinshu (30 poems).
Twelve poems in the Shin Kokinshu.
Eighty-six poems included in imperial anthologies.

"There is a conflict between the competitive karuta reading 'chihayaburu' (voiced sound) and
the rakugo 'chihayafuru' (unvoiced sound).
In recent years, Yuki Suetsugu's manga 'Chihayafuru' became a huge hit,
it was broadcast as a TV anime,
a live-action movie (starring Suzu Hirose) was released,
and inevitably, it became associated with audio,
bringing the difference between the book title and the karuta reading (the voiced/unvoiced sound issue) to the surface."
p. 99 '1. Two Issues of Voiced/Unvoiced Sounds (Problem Statement)'

"Currently, the All Japan Karuta Association
insists on reading it with a voiced sound as 'chihayaburu',
but in the first 'Standard Karuta' (after 1904),
it was read with an unvoiced sound as 'chihayafuru'.

When it was significantly revised as the 'Official Karuta' in 1925,
it was written with a voiced sound as 'chihayaburu'.
[Edo period printed versions of the Hyakunin Isshu used the unvoiced spelling]
This is likely the boundary between the voiced and unvoiced sounds.

The reason why the voiced sound is considered correct
seems to lie in an emphasis on the 'Man'yoshu'.
The reason why the 'chihayaburu' (voiced sound) text
spread rapidly in the Taisho and Showa eras
is that by deriving it from 'chihayabu/ichihayabu',
which means powerful or valiant,
the spelling 'yaburu' (to break) was actively chosen,
and the voiced reading was likely welcomed
within the wartime Japanese society.

The competitive karuta reading,
perhaps, was corrected to the voiced sound
to cater to that Japanese historical context."
p. 108-109
'6. Meiji Period Notation'

"Even if examples from the ancient period [Man'yoshu] favor the voiced sound,
if we emphasize that it subsequently became unvoiced,
there is a possibility (a high one) that the 'Kokinshu' and Hyakunin Isshu
should be read with an unvoiced sound.

Not mentioning that,
settling for an etymological explanation dating back to the ancient period,
and being dragged along by that
to make the text itself voiced
means ignoring historical transition.
This is the reason I titled this paper 'The "Chihayaburu" Illusion'.

While 'chihayaburu' (voiced sound) is not necessarily
wrong,
it is also hard to say it is absolutely correct.

For the Hyakunin Isshu, which was established in the medieval period,
based on the transition from voiced to unvoiced sounds,
wouldn't it be appropriate to read it
with an unvoiced sound as 'chihayafuru'?"
p. 110-111 '7. Conclusion (Towards the Revival of the Unvoiced Sound)'
