ABSTRACT

This study attempted to infer the characteristics and production methods of Jikji types based on type traces in Jikji.1) Jikji types were characterized by broken strokes, blowholes, superfluous matters, irregular strokes, unbalanced character styles, unstandardized character sizes, omitted strokes, abridged strokes, simplified characters, and redundant strokes.2) The Jikji type matrix was carved into soft material other than wood.3) Jikji types were not produced by the sand mould casting method used in Chosun dynasty.4) Jikji type was not cast with single, unified procedure. Most of the types were cast by experts at the early stage of planning, whereas the remaining types were occasionally supplemented by inexperienced personnel.
