Recently, someone shared a link on Hacker News to this website: https://pomax.github.io/nrGrammar/. If you look carefully in section 1.1.4, which aims to visually compare the differences between the Hiragana and Katakana scripts, you can see that there is a "logic" in transitioning from a character in Hiragana to the same character in Katakana. In the same way, it seems that an autoencoder is capable of capturing this logic.

Note that this is because a subset of the kana were derived from the same Han characters in both scripts, but this does not apply to all kana.
