    安形麻理, 安形輝, 星海社, 2024.12,  Page： 189

    　View Summary

    ヴォイニッチ写本、それは発見から1世紀余りが経過した今なお解読を拒む、世界一有名な未解読文献である。未知の言語とも暗号とも、時には捏造、デタラメとも言われるこの謎めいた本は好事家たちの関心を集め、書誌学や情報学の専門家のみならず多くの在野研究者が解読に挑んできた。小説や漫画などのポップカルチャーにも多大な影響を及ぼしている。本書はヴォイニッチ写本の研究に取り組む著者達が400年にわたる解読の歴史とともに、データサイイエンスを用いた最新の研究を解説し、日本におけるヴォイニッチ写本紹介の先駆者である荒俣宏氏との鼎談を収録した、ヴォイニッチ写本入門である。

  • Japanese Manga Translations in UK Public Libraries

    Agata T., Agata M., Eto M., Otani Y., Hashizume A., Sugie N.

    Proceedings of the ACM IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries  2025.03

    ISSN  15525996

    　View Summary

    The extent to which translated Japanese manga are held in public libraries worldwide can serve as an indicator of their international reception. This study utilized a list of translated Japanese manga compiled during our previous surveys to investigate the availability of these works in public libraries across the United Kingdom.

  • Are Japanese Manga Held in Dutch Libraries? An Analysis of Collection Trends Using Library Metadata

    Sugie N., Hashizume A., Dam D., Agata M.

    Journal of Library Metadata 25 ( 2 ) 69 - 97 2025

    ISSN  19386389

    　View Summary

    Although the number of Japanese manga readers is growing outside Japan, it remains challenging to understand how manga is accepted in specific countries and regions. Recently, library metadata has become easier to convert, enabling collection research that transcends language and cataloging differences, allowing partial insights into how manga is received in specific regions. However, few studies have used metadata to examine cultural acceptance in particular areas. In this study, we used library metadata to explore the collection trends of Japanese manga in Dutch libraries, where metadata is well developed. Using the Virtual International Authority File database, we identified Japanese manga authors and then the authors included in the NTA, the National Library of the Netherlands’ authority database. We then analyzed bibliographic data from the Dutch National Central Catalog, finding 373 Japanese manga authors, 18,990 items (including duplicates), and 2,886 unique items. These findings suggest that the number of Japanese manga in Dutch libraries is limited, reflecting low acceptance in Dutch society. The collection mainly comprises well-known shonen manga with little variety in terms of content. While the use of library metadata in collection research shows promise, inconsistencies in terminology and bibliographic descriptions across libraries pose challenges in genre-specific research.

  • Preservation and use of microfilm

    　View Summary

    <p>Microfilm has been widely used for media conversion and as a space-saving means of collecting materials. Since the 1970s, it has been considered the primary medium for long-term preservation because it can be expected to last 500 years or more in a low-temperature, low-humidity environment. However, it became known that TAC-based microfilms could experience a deterioration known as vinegar syndrome. In the 1990s, the transition to long-term preservation through digitization began to be discussed. This paper outlines the characteristics of microfilm, the current state of its holdings and use, its deterioration and preservation, the significance and use of microfilming newspapers, and its place in the digital age as a backup for digital resources.</p>

    　View Summary

    本年度は主として課題①「初期印刷文化における聖書の形態的特徴の変遷の分析」に取り組み、基礎的なデータの収集を行った。まず、調査対象となるラテン語をはじめとする各言語による聖書の版を特定するために、15世紀の印刷本（インキュナブラ）の国際総合目録であるIncunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC)および16世紀についてはUniversal Short Title Catalogue (USTC)から調査対象を抽出し、各版についての書誌的事項や判型などの基礎的な情報を記録した。次に、個別の現存本についての書誌や目録を調査し、折丁の構成、ページの段組み、行数、使用されている活字の種類など可能な限り詳細に記録した。合わせて、デジタルアーカイブ等による画像の公開状況や複写画像の入手可能性についても調査し、可能な場合には複写依頼によるデジタル画像を入手した。画像の入手は次年度も引き続き行い、パラテクストの詳細な調査に用いる。
    また、慶應義塾大学図書館が所蔵するインキュナブラを対象に、インキュナブラ全般の形態的特徴を、ページ・レイアウトや書体、文章構造の視覚的な提示方法、木版印刷による図版やその彩色、手書きの装飾、読者による書き込みなどの使用の形跡といった点から分析した。3月にはBritish Libraryの元インキュナブラ担当者を招き、小規模なワークショップを開催し、インキュナブラの調査方法や調査項目についてさらに検討した。
    さらに、パラテクスト面での「あるべき姿」を支える技術としての活字の鋳造方法や活字の形態分析方法に関する分析をグーテンベルク聖書を事例として進めた。

    　View Summary

    We focused on a physical survey of Western account books in the Meiji era and Western rare books with traces of restoration in the 1950s by the bookbinders who acquired the Western technology in the Meiji era. At the same time, we amassed information by interviews from technical experts, conducted a philological survey and reexamined the history of Western bookbindings. As regards to account books, the technology derived from the West was transformed by repeated trial and error due to the rapid increase in demand and private-sector makers, and finally it has attained the styles peculiar to Japan.
    In addition, from the physical survey on the traces of the restoration in the Western rare books, it was confirmed that the technology and knowledge since the Meiji era were basically passed down. In terms of conservation of materials, it was revealed that there was already an idea in the 1950s which was the source of the existing idea of the “preserving original style”.

    　View Summary

    This study was a collection and analysis of the basic data for the actual conduction of library preservation in Japan through a door-to-door and a national questionnaire survey conducted with libraries, a interview surveys for conservators and similar professionals and a comparative investigation of foreign libraries.
    As a result, we were able to quantitatively express the actual conditions of library preservation in Japan. For example, preservation and conservation of libraries in Japan is post-procedural and symptomatic treatments rather than planned and active measures. Most disasters are related to water leakage and so on.

    　View Summary

    In this project research, we analyzed current status of microfilm in Japan as recording media. We researched it from various accepts -productions, publications, conservations, use and preservation. In spite of having a long history as recording media second only to paper, microfilm had never before been studied from academic points of view. In carrying out this project, we made an interview survey of libraries, museums, archives etc. (total:33), and a questionnaire survey (university librariy:1,378, prefectural library:58, National Diet Library:1, archives:75, university archives:88, special library:380). Based on these surveys, we carried out this research project.
