What old Japanese texts can be used in the same fashion as the latin "Lorem Ipsum"? "Lorem Ipsum" is used as a place holder when creating designs or formatting media that will have actual text and functionality. **Question** I would like to know what the Japanese equivalent is of this (if one exists) and or what ancient Japanese texts can be used in a similar fashion to produce "text that looks like actual text, but isn't understandable to the average viewer". Basically the same as Lorem Ipsum.

Like the site that helix pointed out, dummy text generators will just pick some works and generate text from that. There's not one classic text that almost every designer uses.

The work that this dummy text generator uses by default is "" ("My Individualism") by (Soseki Natsume)
