Panmok held at Gimhae Kim Clan Yu Su Gong Branch Sodong Lineage, Pohang

This item is the set of printing woodblocks (panmok) for the collected writings of Kim Jae-yun (pen name Ungo, 1808–1893), now kept at the Korea National Institute of Korean Studies. Kim Jae-yun associated with Ryu Chi-myeong, Yi Jong-sang and others, devoting his life to scholarship and the education of younger students. At the age of eighty he was awarded, as an honorary distinction, the court rank of Gaseondaebu together with the titles of Dongji Jungchubusa and Owijang (Commander of the Five Military Camps). Although he is not a widely known figure, the set is complete with no blocks missing, and it is of high documentary value as evidence of book publishing in the provinces at the end of the Joseon period.
