AB - (1) The Suruga edition refers to 2 editions printed in bronze type by Tokukawa Ieyasu in 1599 and 1606 at Sunpu. However, the cast for bronze type had been completed over 3 times in 1606, 1615, and 1616. The Kishu edition refers to 1 edition printed in bronze type by Kii provincial government in 1846. (2) The material for the type was metal by casting, judging from the identical shape of characters and ink color pattern. The type-making technique imitates script writing style and shows sophisticated aesthetic touch of the character. However, its quality is not adequately reflected on the metal type because of crude casting technique. The technical level is middle-upper grade. (3) The typesetting technique shows somewhat unevenly aligned vertical and lateral stripes of character trace. There are various skewed characters. The thickness of ink color is very inconsistent, showing the characteristics of the type edition at a glance. Correction is incomplete. The technical level is middle-middle grade. (4) The brushing technique is generally characterized by dark ink color and high discrepancy in ink color thickness. It shows incidences of chinese ink spreads and uneven concentration of ink color. In particular, incomplete application of ink on the characters can be found in almost every character trace. The incidences of inadvertent marks of ink on the paper and double printing are rare. The overall ink spread(착묵?) condition is not very even and consistent. The technical level is middle-lower grade. (5) The typography level is middle-middle grade.
