Film copy - Eishabon

Japanese: 影写本 - えいしゃぼん
Film copy - Eishabon

A book made by placing thin paper such as ganpishi on top of the original (base text) and faithfully tracing (transcribing) the shape of the characters of the original. It is also called an eishōbon. It is a type of manuscript, but the covering method is not only superior to transcriptions, mimics, and copies, with fewer errors, but also highly valuable as it conveys the essence of the original well, and is also respected as a substitute for the originals that have already been lost. Originals for eishōbon include published books, copies, and ancient documents.

Japanese:

原本(底本)の上に雁皮紙(がんぴし)などの薄い紙を重ね、原本の文字の形を忠実に敷き写し(透き写し)した本。影鈔(えいしょう)本ともいう。写本の一種であるが、覆製方法としては、転写本、臨写本、摹写(もしゃ)本よりも誤写が少なくて優れているのみならず、原本の趣(おもむき)をよく伝えているので資料価値が高く、また、すでに散逸した原本にかわるものとして尊重されている。影写の原本には刊本、写本、古文書などがある。
