Characteristic Analysis and Microscopic Morphology Study of the Paper Samples of Ancient Japanese Buddhist Scriptures
There was a very long tradition of writing buddhist scriptures in Japanese history,leaving behind a large number of ancient scrip-tures.The age identification of these ancient scriptures can not only be done through traditional philological methods,but also through scien-tific analysis based on the composition of paper raw materials,processing methods,and microscopic morphology.This study conducted test-ing and analysis on 81 ancient paper samples included in the two volumes,namely Remnants of Ancient Writing Scripture and Fine Works of Ancient Writing Scripture,and summarized the possible commonalities and trends in fiber composition,paper thickness,curtain density,pa-per surface characteristics,and processing methods of Japanese scripture paper samples from different history periods.This study provides a reference for studying the production process of Japanese scripture paper throughout history and identifying the age of ancient scriptures in terms of paper information.
