Research Abstract
UC Berkeley C.V. Starr East Asian library has 3,500 titles of Japanese old manuscripts. our goal is to build an online database of that. We made trips to US for 30 days and have investigated the manuscripts. Based on the data, we have been forming online database. It is almost done. On the other hand, we formed a panel presentation at a conference in US and made an online workshop.
