Ogeon Deokgye Collected Works Woodblocks , O Master Artisan Sahojip Woodblocks , Ohan Suodangmunjip Woodblocks

These are the printing woodblocks for the collected writings of Deokgye Ogeon (1521–1574), his son O Jang, and O Jang's teacher Ohan, comprising 132 blocks in total. Ogeon was a disciple of Nammyeong Jo Sik, and for a time also studied under Toegye Yi Hwang. When his mother died, he built a hut by her grave and kept watch over it for three years; his filial devotion came to the attention of the court and he was rewarded for it. He passed the civil service examination in 1558, the thirteenth year of King Myeongjong, and after serving as jeongeon he was appointed Ijo Jwarang, a post in the Ministry of Personnel, in 1571, the fourth year of King Seonjo, concurrently holding the post of Chunchugwan Gisagwan, a historian's post in the Office of Annals, and took part in compiling the Veritable Records of King Myeongjong. In his later years he returned to his home town and spent the rest of his life devoted to scholarship. The Deokgye Collected Works, in ten volumes bound in five books, was published in 1817, the seventeenth year of King Sunjo. The Sahojip, O Jang's collected poetry and prose, comprises eight volumes in four books; since it carries a preface by Gang Se-hwang and a colophon by Jeong Ji-geom, it appears to have been published around 1782, the sixth year of King Jeongjo. The Suhodang Silgi is a biographical record of Ohan's life, published in 1864, the first year of Emperor Gojong, by his eighth-generation descendant O Eung-gyu.
