[Library Network] Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive : Important Cultural Property "Dainihonshi Hensan Kiroku" Vol.62-66 (G.S. Letters) Newly Released
The Graduate School of Letters of Kyoto University and the Kyoto University Museum have been carrying out the restoration and digitization of an important cultural property Dainihonshi hensan kiroku held by the Graduate School of Letters since academic year 2017. 202 images of the restored volumes 62-66 are now available in Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive.
▼Important Cultural Property - Dainihonshi hensan kiroku (G.S. Letters)
Dainihonshi hensan kiroku (大日本史編纂記録) is a collection of more than 6,000 letters (copies) exchanged between Shokokan (彰考館; Mito Domain’s office for history compilation) in Mito (currently in Ibaraki Prefecture) and Edo (currently Tokyo) and their Kyoto office regarding the compilation of Dainihonshi by Tokugawa Mitsukuni (徳川光圀; 1628-1701). A total of 42,810 people and organizations and 15,159 historical records and literature works are mentioned in the letters and the content covers a wide range of aspects of the time, such as history, literature, Confucianism and Japanese classical literature, as well as the publishing culture during the Genroku Period, which makes this rare material a first-class historical record.
Therefore, a restoration project was launched in academic year 2017 funded by the Sumitomo Foundation (2017-2022), and also by government (2021-2023). The Graduate School of Letters has also set up Kyoto University Fund for the restoration of its library collection and the Kyoto University Museum acquired the university's special budget for this project in 2018.
As of November 15, 2026, the Digital Archive provides 2,241,293 images of 27,190 titles.
