This is not quite completed but I have been compiling kanji-romaji-english to better understand and access information from Kyushu. This below are the leaf forms. It does not include all of the forms, mostly the ones in the demono category as I am still compiling them.

I read a couple of questions about why blue/ao is used to describe the colour of the leaves - the kanji character for blue in the olden days was actually green. later on, the character for blue was then changed to blue. when the ao is used to describe leaves (ha), it means green.

NOTE: Hederaseaba is both in kanji and kana
