Publication notes - Kanki (English) colophon

Japanese: 刊記 - かんき（英語表記）colophon

A notation indicating the publication date, place of publication, and publisher's name of a published book, and is often found at the end of a Japanese or Chinese book. When the publication note is enclosed in a box or shown inside a bell, tripod, or koto shape, it is collectively called a mokki. When the publication note is shown on a separate page, it is called a colophon. European manuscripts and early printed books also have colophons at the end of the book, and in many cases they are written in red ink or have a printer's mark added. [See also] Colophon
