Ojak-pi (English: Ojak-pi)

Japanese: 塢作碑 - うさくひ（英語表記）Ojak‐pi

Along with the Yeongcheon Jeongje Monument (536), this stone monument contains valuable epigraphy that gives insight into the actual state of agricultural irrigation projects in Silla during the Three Kingdoms period. It was discovered in 1946 in Daean-dong, Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, and is currently housed at the Kyungpook National University Museum in the same city. It is 63.9-103.0cm high, 53.8-67.8cm wide, and 12.1cm thick, with nine lines and over 185 characters. It begins with, "On the 14th day of the first month of April in the year Boju, a □ fortress was made in Dongri Village (?), and this was completed in □," and ends with, "The writing was written by a man of one li jiao." The year Boju is believed to be the 3rd year of King Jinji of Silla (578).
