Edited by Elizabeth Huff. "Unique in the Western world, the Asami Library of Korean literature (now part of the East Asiatic Library of the University of California, Berkeley) was named for Asami Rintaro, the Japanese scholar who assembled it while serving as Judge of the Resident General's Court in Seoul during the first two decades of this century. The collection includes approximately one thousand titles written or printed in almost four thousand volumes between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries. Most of the works are in Chinese, which throughout the period was the literary language of Korea, and some are editions of classic Chinese works." Publisher's description.
