Research Abstract	Japan and Korea have various exchanges from ancient times, and many historical materials are left behind. "Japanese material" and "Korean material" are a part of them; the former is that Japanese people recorded Korean with kana or kanji, the latter is that Korean people recorded Japanese with hangul or kanji. These are valuable for clarifying the history of Korean and Japanese language. In this research, I discovered new materials, which are helpful in studying the history of both languages. The sources investigated in this research were partially compiled into a database and the transliterated words appeared in them were analyzed. In addition, I tried to describe the comprehensive history of the Japanese and Korean materials.
