  • 1 The character 僧 (seung) appears a total of 85 times. The many instances of this character reveal a clear distinction between large- and mid-sized types that were used. The character comes in varying shapes, proof that, in Jikji, more than one metal type was used for certain characters. As on this page, when multiple instances of the same character must be printed on one page, several movable metal types are needed. Here on this page, the fact that instances of the same character come in different shapes serve as indirect evidence that the movable metal types were produced using the wax casting method rather than the sand mold casting method.
