Survey of Korean Old Books in Japan-A Linguistic and Philological Study-

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Although there are numerous Korean books in Japan, researchers have been greatly inconvenienced by the lack of detailed information regarding what sort of books there are, and where they can be found. I have spent these four years in the cataloguing of such Korean books, as I have been doing in the 37 years prior to this period, and as a result have succeeded in cataloguing 90% of Korean books in all Japan. Study of Korean books are useful not only in Korean studies but also in Chinese studies, since Chinese books which have been lost in China itself can be found as Korean publications. In addition, Korean books are also useful in Japanese studies, since Japan has been deeply influenced by Korea culturally. Next year, I intend to publish the catalogue of Korean history books found in Japan.
