There are so many things wrong with your comments on kana and the Japanese language that I don't even know where to begin. Not only were kana invented hundreds of years before the Gutenberg press, but they were created because Japanese and Chinese are in completely different language families. Because Japanese is an agglutinative language, using characters just doesn't make sense with its grammar. That's the real reason why kana started to be used for writing Japanese. Also, even though kana were used, that didn't mean kanji weren't used as well. If you look at Japanese works from any period in history, including the 1800s, 1900s, and now, you can see that kanji are everywhere.
