Tripitaka
Koreana boasts of it's vast volume, and excellent quality.
Characters on blocks show even shapes and
sizes like one skilled man carves the whole blocks.
The famous calligrapher of Joseon, Chusa Kim Junghi
admired
Tripitaka characters as "A man did not engrave
these characters, but a supernatural being did."
In addition to, there
are no wrong or missed characters, and condition of
wooden blocks is perfect as if blocks were carved in
modern
times. Therefore, the world is unsparing of it's praise
to Tripitaka Koreana as "the culmination of wood-block
printing"
and "a mystery of the world."
