  Owing to the overwhelming accuracy of the deep learning method demonstrated
at the 2012 image classification competition, deep learning has been
successfully applied to a variety of other tasks. The high-precision detection
and recognition of Kuzushiji, a Japanese cursive script used for transcribing
historical documents, has been made possible through the use of deep learning.
In recent years, competitions on Kuzushiji recognition have been held, and many
researchers have proposed various recognition methods. This study examines
recent research trends, current problems, and future prospects in Kuzushiji
recognition using deep learning.
