ABSTRACT

(1) The Baizu edition refers to 33 editions printed in wooden types by Baizu in Kyoto for 21 years between 1608 and 1628. He used more than 2 sets of type. (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 and frequent spreads of chinese ink. The technical quality is middle-middle grade. (5) The type printing quality is middle-middle grade.
