Abstract

The Mt. Mudeung Ansimsa’s Okchugyeong is kept in Bupjangsa in Seoul, and it is the Seoul Tangible Cultural Property No. 453. The Okchugyeong is Taoist scripture and has been read widely for its powers to solicit falling rain in drought and healing diseases. This edition has sustained a great damage because it has been read for a long time; its condition is quite severe due to rips, wear, fold, deficits, stains, and so on. Some of the conservation methods used were visual observation, microscopic observation, infrared camera photography, chromaticity adjustment, and hydrogen ion concentration measurement. Furthermore, dismantling, stabilizing treatment, cleaning, removing the old backing paper, defect and reinforcement, cutting, making a cover, and re-tying were other attempts made to preserve its condition. The preserved cultural documents were fumigated to reduce biological damage. The storage box is made of paulownia wood, and repair records are attached inside it.
