Tripitaka

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]
