Abstract

This study was conducted to identify wood species of two printing woodblocks either from the Park clan's documentary or Ji-dang documentary of Songok clan of the Milseong Park, Songok, Gyeongju, Korea. Eighty-eight woodblocks out of the total 282 woodblocks were randomly selected to compare anatomical features for the identification of wood species, using a light microscope. As a result, seven wood species were identified, and all of them were diffuse-porous hardwood species. The most significant portion, i.e., 39.8% of wood species was Carpinus laxiflora Blume. Then, Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai, Acer mono Maxim, Prunus sargentii Rehder, Tilia amurensis Rupr, Diospyros kaki Thunb, and Betula costata Trautv was 25.0%, 15.9%, 10.2%, 3.4%, 3.4% and 2.3%, respectively, indicating that all diffuse-porous hardwood species had been used for the woodblocks. It was believed that diffuse-porous hardwoods had been used because they provided an easy of engraving complex Chinese letters, of acquiring these wood species in Gyeongju areas, and a high resistance to repeated printing.

본 연구에서는 기록으로 남아있는 밀성박씨 경주 손곡문중의 박씨문헌록(朴氏文獻錄)과 지당실기(智堂實紀)의 인쇄에 사용된 목판의 수종을 식별하고자 수행되었다. 전체 282장의 목판 중 88장을 무작위로 선정하여 광학현미경으로 목재해부학적 특징을 비교분석한 결과, 7개의 목재수종이 식별되었다. 즉 가장 많이 사용된 수종은 서어나무로 39.8%를 차지하였고, 그 다음으로 돌배나무가 25.0%, 고로쇠나무가 15.9%, 산벚나무가 10.2%, 피나무가 3.4%, 감나무가 3.4%, 그리고 거제수나무가 2.3%가 사용된 것으로 조사되었다. 이 같은 결과는 일반적으로 목판인쇄에 사용된 목재수종의 범주에 속하는 것이다. 또 식별된 모든 수종들은 활엽수 산공재로 복잡한 한자를 새기기 쉽고 여러 번 인쇄를 하더라도 글자가 쉽게 닳지 않고 용이하게 구할 수 있는 목재수종이 사용된 것으로 판단된다.
