We studied the hour-lines of six extant Yangcheon-cheoks in Korea. To find whether Yangcheon-cheok was used in the whole area of Korea, we calculated the length of shadows of Yangcheon-cheok on the Korean Peninsula, Nanjing and Beijing as well as Hanyang (Seoul), according to 24 solar terms. Comparing the length of shadows with hour-lines of those relics, we could find that Yangcheon-cheok was suitable for use at limited times (from 9:00 to 15:00) during the year. Also, this sundial is more appropriate for use at low latitudes than high ones. Among existing relics, that of Seoul Museum of History made with porcelain was much more suitable to use at Hanyang and its higher latitude. Lee's collection was also suitable to use at Nanjing. It is certain that Yangcheon-cheok was a portable sundial which could be used from nine to fifteen of clock all the year around except for the winter season.

${\ulcorner}Gogeumdoseojipseong{\lrcorner}$, it has been compiled by Chenmenglei(1651-1723). This large encyclopedia was published in 1125 during Ohing dynasty of China in the reign of the Kangxi emperor. The medical parts of this encyclopedia was titled the name of Yibuquanlu, but it is not correct. KIOM(Korea Institute of oriental Medicine) researched the compilation and publication of the original book of this and the process of introduction to Chosun with its woodblock-printed book for making database of this book. Even more, we analyzed the structure of this book and apprehended the historical significance about medical interchange between Korea and China by this book. As the result, we found that the most part of this large encyclopedia quotedfrom ${\ulcorner}Donguibogam{\lrcorner}$ of Chosun, then it was back to Chosun and taken a part to medical books such as ${\ulcorner}Imwonkyungjaejis{\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}Uijongsonikr{\lrcorner}$.

The Yi-Dynasty published the calendars printed by means of woodblock and typeprinting for the purpose of informing its people of four seasonal changes and appropriate time for farming. The printing types were used to publish the calendars in those days varied depending upon the kinds of the calendars, but all those types are known as only one name: Kwansanggam Type. This is because there have been little studies on the different kinds of printing types. As a result, there are many cases where the libraries make erroneous notes in their catalogues. This study points up the fact that four different kinds of Kwansanggam Type were used depending upon the nature of the calendars. For classification purpose, I call these types Daetongryokja, Naeyongsamsoja, Myongsiryokja, and Chiljongryokja. What has not been revealed in this study can be further explained as the more calendars of those days are found out.

M.C Escher was not a mathematician or architect, but a visual graphic woodblock artist. He expresses space in various angles such as illusion and space not represented in reality, repetition, geometric pattern and change in space vision. However, as his works represent the impossible space which is virtually not exist in reality, they were examined numerically by scientists and mathematicians rather than by designers. Because his distinctive approach to view space, his works have been highly evaluated by scholars in various fields. Based on the previous research by mathematicians and scientists, this study will examine the sp- atial logic was represented visually in the works of M.C Escher and find out the possible and adoptable alternatives for new space design and provide the design application direction in the expression of interior space.

Generally, clause 273 of Shanghan-lun was called as a principle of Taeeum-byung and was regarded that it contains essential substances of Taeeum-byung. In this study, I compared the text of diverse woodblock-printed versions, the opinions of many annotators, and other clauses of Shanghan-lun which related with clause 273 in pathologic view points. As results, "the symptoms become worsen by purgative medicine" of remained version is more reasonable rather than "diarrhea become worsen" of Song version, in the side of pathologic interpretation of Taeeum-byung and to understand the reason of mistreatment. In addition, the symptoms of "an intermittent and autonomous abdominal cramp" and "feeling hard on sub-chest region" should be recognized as transformed symptoms by mistreatment of purgative medicine. Thus, diarrhea cannot be accepted as a peculiar symptom of Taeeum-byung, but should be regarded as a possible symptom transformed from Taeeum-byung or its preceding diseases by purgative medicine.

First, having noticed that the paper on which the Mugujongkyong from the Sokgat'ap was Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold, produced under the Tochim process, it is confirmed that the paper used for printing the Mugujongkyong form the Sokgat'ap was Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold produced in Shilla, by introducing the common fact that the papers on which : written in 755 A.D.) and in Soochung-sokt'ap Hwaomasa were written were the same paper fabricated by the Tochim process. Therefore it is proved that the printing place of the Mugujongkyong from the Sokgat'ap was also Kyongju region in Shilla. Furthermore it is proved that the year of storing Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold n which tarani of the Mugujongkyong was written was circa 705 A.D., provin12g that Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold was in production in Shilla in 8th Century. Also by confirming the fact that very thin -- mere 0.019mm thick -- Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold was in production in Shilla in 8th Century, it is proved that Shilla has ability to produce Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold for Woodblock printing purpose. Second, concerning the Muju Characters written in the ugujongkyong from the Sokgat'ap, mixed use of the Muju Characters was noticeable in written in 755 A.D. from the Sooch'ungsokt'ap at the Hwaomsa written in the same era and the Tripitaka Koreana in Japan was printed in 690's A.D. because of appearance of the Muju Characters in the Saddhamapun-darika is erroneous.

F. L. Wright was, from his early days, influenced by Japanese Culture and endeavored his original concept of orgonic orchitecture. In his 1st Golden Age, he devoted to establish an architectural concept of Organism which was proved by the theories of New Science and also had been universal in ancient Orient. Later, in his 2nd Golden Age, he tried to embody his unique concept in prairie houses and office buildings. The organic structure and spatial unit that actually applied to these works, were good examples of realization of the simplicity and continuity which he found out in Japanese culture. This paper is to study on the influence of Japanese culture on a course of Wright's embodying his organic architecture, and to study on a way of its realization in his works. To be concrete, main contents of the study are as follows; 1) the relationship between Wright's integrate perception and the orientalism 2) the influence of the traditional Japanese painting like woodblock prints and the aesthetic theory of the traditional Japanese pictorial art on Wright's design principles 3) the influence of Wright's experiences in Japan on his design principles 4) the influence of Wright's analysis of the traditional Japanese dwelling on his design principles 5) the course of Wright's embodying his organic architecture concept, and the way of its realization in his works.

Daejangjeon of Geumsansa Temple was built to store the Tripitaka Koreana, although it does not contain the Tripitaka at present and instead contains a Buddha Triad. According to Geumsansaji (Historical Record of Geumsansa Temple), this structure was originally a wooden pagoda. It is said that Geumsansa became a Buddhist temple due to its tradition of preserving a statue of Buddha and the Buddhist sutras. It is special that the Wooden Pagoda which keeps its ashes turned into a Daejangjeon. Also, it is symbolic that the Daejangjeon is symbolic and it does not store the stura, but this building is symbolic and complex. By analyzing the changes in the building process and religious beliefs, it is possible to ascertain the relationship between faith and religion in the latter phase of the Joseon Dynasty.
