Features: This book is one of the National Ancient Books Collection and Publication Planning Projects. Since the 20th century, the unearthed documents from Turpan have scattered to all parts of the world, with neighboring Japan being one of the countries with the most extensive collections. The authors have spent over a decade of arduous effort in collecting and organizing the Turpan unearthed documents that have scattered to Japan, and compiling titles and catalogs. The book fully respects the achievements of Japanese scholars when listing and supplementing comprehensive catalogs of some richly collected and cataloged items in Japan. For uncataloged collections, new titles and catalogs are created based on each plate.
