AB - (1) The imperial editions consist of one Bunloku imperial edition in 1593, 10 Keichio imperial editions between 1597 and 1603, and one Genwa imperial edition in 1621. Among them, 8 Keichio imperial editions and 1 Bunloku imperial edition are still in existence. (2) The material for the type was wood. The type-making technique imitates script writing style and demonstrates quite sophisticated aesthetic touch of the character. Its technical level is upper-lower grade. (3) The typesetting technique shows evenly aligned vertical and lateral stripes of character trace. There are some skewed characters and lighter tones of ink color in some pages, yet the unevenness is minor. The technical level is upper-middle grade. (4) The brushing technique is fairly consistent, with very few incidences of uneven ink color thickness, chinese ink spreads, inadvertent marks of ink on the paper, and double printing. The technical level is upper-middle grade. (5) The type printing in each edition is of a similar quality, implying that the outputs were produced with the same types by the same master members. The typography level is upper-middle grade.
