"When I first saw this, I thought it's alien language for a sec, but it's Japanese in 17th century called Jindaimoji

[Photo: a page from a Japanese reference book, numbered 573, showing a chart of "神代字三十六人首" (Jindaimoji — "age of the gods" script) characters that resemble a runic/alien-looking script, credited to 小野寺成美編, 江戸後期刊 (Edo late-period publication)]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A tweet from a scholar of historical Japanese texts sharing an image of Jindaimoji, a pseudo-ancient script claimed to predate kanji, whose characters visually resemble runes. Casual browsing/interest capture.
