Japan Travel Journal - Nihonhoshoshi

Japanese: 日本訪書志 - にほんほうしょし

A bibliographical work written by Yang Shoujin of the Qing Dynasty in China. 30 volumes. When Li Shuochang was stationed in Japan as a diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, he visited and purchased many books, including those that had already disappeared in China and were only known in Japan, and later brought them back to China. He selected the best of them, compiled them into the "Koii Soshu" (Collection of Ancient Books), and reprinted them in Japan. All practical work, including the proofreading, was done by Yang Shoujin, who was his attendant. This book is a complete record of the ancient books that were available in Japan, including those included in the "Koii Soshu."

中国，清代の楊守敬の著した書誌学書。30巻。清末に黎庶昌（れいしよしよう）が外交官として日本に駐在したとき，中国ですでに滅び日本にだけ伝えられるようになったものを含め，多くの書物を探訪購入し，のち中国に持ち帰った。とくにその精華をえらび《古逸叢書》に編修し日本で復刻したが，校勘の作業を含めその実務はすべて随員であった楊守敬の担当であった。この書物は《古逸叢書》に収められたものをはじめ，日本で触目し得た古書の全記録である。
