Restorative Study of 20 Volumes of K. yagire Kokin-syu: Establishment of the Methodology for Restoring Old Writing

17卷K.yagire Kokin-syu，不包括三个完成的卷，卷5，卷8和卷20，已经恢复。这部《K.yagire Kokin-syu》是现存最古老的《Kokinwakasyu》手稿，由Minamotono Kaneyuki和另外两位书法大师在11^世纪中期撰写<th>。其中，卷一、卷二、卷三、卷九、卷十八、卷十九等六卷已发现残迹或残卷，其余十一卷未发现原稿，均已制成各具风格的大卷。并将其作为插图作为研究结果报告出版。另一方面，我们也能够恢复卷5后，确定原来的位置，两套重复的诗，后来被淘汰。

Seventeen volumes of K.yagire Kokin-syu, excluding the three completed volumes, Vol. 5, Vol. 8 and Vol. 20, have been restored. The K.yagire Kokin-syu is the oldest existing manuscript of the Kokinwakasyu, written by Minamotono Kaneyuki and two other skillful masters of calligraphy in the mid-11^<th> century. Of the restored volumes, while fragmentary remains or pieces of writing have been found for the six volumes, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 9, Vol. 18 and Vol. 19, no original manuscripts of the other eleven volumes have been found. These volumes have been made into extensive scrolls written in their respective styles of calligraphy, and released for display as well as published as a research finding report containing them as illustrations. On another note, we were also able to restore Volume 5 upon identifying the original location of the two sets of duplicate poems, which were later eliminated.
