Teika made many manuscripts of Japanese classics. In his days, the ancient Japanese pronunciation was lost and it made the orthography of kana confused and uncertain. Teika researched old documents and recovered the earlier system of deciding between kana, and made a systematic orthography. It has been used till the modern period. He applied his kana system to his manuscripts. His manuscripts were known for their accuracy and good quality and called Teika bon (Teika text). Using his method he was able to document the accurate pronunciation of earlier waka like Kokin-wakashu.
