The results of this analyze, Nichiyo-Boki-Ho and Jinjyo-Boki-Ho didn't supplement some obscure explanations about Ginko-Boki-Seiho. But, these textbooks fulfilled a definite role about introducing the basic concepts of double-entry bookkeeping. According to the educational institution of the Ministry of Finance timetable, students learned the basic bookkeeping by using these texts before studied the applied concepts Bank bookkeeping by using Ginko-Boki-Seiho.
