The ‘Mugujeonggwang Great Dharani Sutra’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Mugujeonggyeong’), discovered at the Seokgatap Tower in Gyeongju in 1966, was recently listed as ‘the world’s oldest woodblock print’ in the American Printing History Association’s printing chronology. As the American Society of Print History, an academic organization recognized for its authority not only in the United States but also around the world, designated 'Mugujeonggyeong' as the world's best woodblock print, many educational and research institutions around the world accepted and educated information on printing technology based on this. Expectations are high that it will go out.
