AB - (1) The Shuzon edition refers to 140 editions printed in wooden types by Shuzon in Zomyozi, Kyoto for 12 years between 1613 and 1624.
(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 shows some uneven incidences. There are some skewed characters, and in some pages, the tone of ink color is not consistent..The four edges of the page frame substantially splayed apart. Some of the corrections are not precise. The technical quality is middle-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.
