This study reveals the unique tradition and transmission of woodblock printing techniques (In-gyeongsul) used for the Tripitaka Koreana at Haeinsa Temple, highlighting its historical significance and distinctive methods. The research systematically documents the intricate processes, tools, and preparatory steps involved in this rare practice, which has been orally transmitted within Haeinsa since 1968. By comparing these techniques with those used in Japan and China, the study underscores the temple's method's originality and cultural value. It also aims to preserve this intangible heritage through detailed recordings and photographs, offering a comprehensive understanding of a practice that has endured for over 700 years.
