The Tripitaka Koreana is a collection of Buddhist scriptures printed by the Korean kingdom of Goryeo in 1011-1087. Printed using some 80,000 woodblocks, it is considered the most complete collection of Mayahana Buddhist scriptures ever compiled.[1]

A copy of this collection was given by the Joseon royal court to the Kingdom of Ryûkyû in the 1450s or 1460s.[2]

Copies are also held in Japan, including at Shôkoku-ji in Kyoto.[3]
