Kan-on

One of the sources of pronunciation of Japanese kanji

Kan-on or kan'on are Japanese kanji readings borrowed from Chinese during the Tang dynasty, from the 7th to the 9th centuries; a period which corresponds to the Japanese Nara period. They were introduced by, among others, envoys from Japanese missions to Tang China. Kan-on should not be confused with tō-on , which were later phonetic loans.
