IMPORTANT: As of 2026-02-05, the Kanripo server is down due to a hardware failure. It will take some time to get a replacement and start up the new server. Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and patience.
In the meantime, there are other services available, such as CTEXT or even 识典古籍-古籍在线阅读平台. The source texts in the GitHub repositories remain available as before.
This website provides access to the texts in the Kanseki Repository. At the moment, there is only very simple search functionality, but it is planned to extend this depending on the needs of the users.
More information about the Kanseki Repository, its design considerations and aims can be found here: Kanripo Blog.
A more sophisticated and powerful way to access the repository is through Mandoku, an extension of Org-Mode for Emacs.
