| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the process until elements
constituting the printed surface and the book has prepared, and the standard format of the book has established.(1) The combination of Min style type and Hiragana type let down the relationship between typeface of woodcut book in the Edo period and genre, style. As a result, this combination became the standard typeface in the type print books since the latter half of the Meiji era.(2) The use of punctuation marks came to be done at the forefront of the field facing the language itself, such as translating foreign languages and exploring new written words.(3) In general, the replication technique called shikei (paper type) is thought to compensate for preservation of the original which is a weak point of typographic printing, but in the case of type printing in the first half of the Meiji period, it was also a device for generating different editions.
