AB - (1) The Eixan edition refers to around 90 editions printed from wooden type by several temples located in Hieizan between 1601 and 1645.
(2) The material for the type was wood. The type-making technique imitates script writing style to some extent, yet its quality is not sophisticated enough and near upper-middle grade.
(3) The typesetting technique shows evenly aligned vertical and lateral stripes of character trace. Yet there are some skewed characters, and in some pages, the tone of ink color is not consistent. The technical quality is upper-middle grade.
(4) The brushing technique shows some inconsistency, with substantial variance in ink color thickness, frequent spreads of chinese ink and intermittent double printing. The technical quality is lower-middle grade.
(5) The type printing quality is middle-middle grade.
