[KS] Late 19-Century Seoul HojOk

[Todd Henry]

Mr. Park,

>From what I remember of Yoshida (Mitsuo)'s work and what a quick check with 
a Tokyo University-based database confirmed is that the extant, late 19th 
and early 20th century census records for Seoul are housed at Kyoto 
University (Faculty of Letters library, geography section).  The record came 
up as "Kankoku Hoseki Seisatsu" (in Japanese).  For some reason, I could not 
find the record on the Kyoto University library database (as you may know, 
some older records have not been computerized at Japanese libraries).  See 
the following link for details (sub-record numbers 104-64).

I hope this helps.
