Dear Ms. Hong-Schunka

	I agree with Charles Armstrong's suggestion that you apply to the
Ryukoku University Museum in Kyoto.  I know that it has detailed
photographs that are easier (but still not always legible!) to read than
the illustrations accompanying my monograph in Harley & Woodward's
_History of Cartography_ II,2.  Remember also that the Ryukoku copy is
only one of the three copies in Japan, and that the names are not always
the same on the three copies.  See the references to the other two in my
monograph.  Korean scholars have made a modern copy of the map with more
legible characters, although even on this copy you would need detailed
photographs for ideal legibility.  That copy is held by the Kyujanggak
Library of Seoul National University.
