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

K.Yagire Kokin-Syu的17卷已被修复，不包括已完成的5卷、8卷和20卷。K.yagire Kokin-syu是现存最古老的Kkinwakasyu手稿，由Minamotono Kaneyuki和另外两位熟练的书法大师在11世纪中叶撰写。在修复的卷中，虽然发现了第1卷、第2卷、第3卷、第9卷、第18卷和第19卷这6卷的零碎遗迹或文字片段，但没有发现其他11卷的原稿。这些卷已被制成广泛的卷轴，以各自的书法风格书写，并被发布展出，并作为研究发现报告出版，其中包含它们作为插图。另一方面，我们还能够在确定两套重复诗歌的原始位置后恢复第五卷，这两套重复诗歌后来被删除。

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.
