Korean Printing refers to the traditional methods of printing that originated in Korea, particularly during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) and the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). One of the most significant advancements was the invention of movable metal type by Jikji, which allowed for more efficient printing compared to woodblock printing. This innovation played a crucial role in the dissemination of knowledge and literature in Korea. The most famous printed work from this period is the Jikji, a Buddhist text printed in 1377, which is recognized as the oldest extant book printed with movable metal type. Korean printing techniques influenced not only local culture but also contributed to the development of printing technology in neighboring countries, including Japan and China.
