Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many old Korean books have been preserved in Japan. The study for these books was not sufficient. I studied these books preserved in private or public libraries in Japan and abroad libraries, for example, royal library of Taiwan and British Library in London, if necessary. Items of my study for one book consists of 28 items. I describe in detail the process of publication, publisher, the place of publication and so on that ware not described before. The study of Korean books contributes to not only Koreanology, but also to Chinology and Japanology.
