AB - (1) Seven sets of Japanese early types are existing to date in Japan. They are somewhat different in the body size, making it very hard to use them together.
(2) Each set is kept in storage boxes and arranged in either Chinese alphabetical order or Japanese pronunciation order.
(3) Types include big type, small type, Japanese character type, multiple-character type, engraved type, and symbol type.
(4) The body of almost all the types is regular cube shape. The edge of the character face was not carved flat, but slantly cut by the depth of 1.1∼10.2mm. Almost all the characters did not fully fill the character face. Each had its own variation.
(5) The type bottoms include flat shape, inverted V shape, ladder shape, and rarely semi-cylindrical shape. However, the groove height is not constant and within 5.0mm, seemingly functional for the convenience of typesetting.
(6) The character stroke was carved in a gentle slope, with a few cases in the slope of 30 degree.
(7) The depth of carving was 0.1∼2.5mm and very shallow, with an average depth of 1mm.
(8) The results of the study on typography through the printing edition are verified by various parts of the typesetting.
