[New] The Derge Edition of the Tibetan Tripitaka: Databases Now Available !

Two databases on the Tibetan Buddhist Canon, held by the Tohoku University Library, are now available on the Tibetan Buddhism Portal. We invite you to explore these resources.

■ TOHOKU Derge Canonical Catalogue
 A database providing catalogue information and images of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon, based on A Complete Catalogue of the Tibetan Buddhist Canons (ed. Hakuju Ui, Munetada Suzuki, Enshō Kanakura, and Tōkan Tada; Tohoku Imperial University, Faculty of Law and Letters, 1934).

■ Derge Iconography Database
 A database dedicated to the illustrations printed within the Tibetan Buddhist Canon and the poetic captions that accompany them.

* The images and metadata in these databases are made publicly available through JSPS KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results (Database) 23HP7001, "The Derge Edition of the Tibetan Tripitaka" (Principal Investigator: Prof. Satoshi Katō; Metadata Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Ryūta Kikuya).
