Mention of spread of printing to Japan

In the section Spread of printing across East Asia, with regards to Japan, there is no mention of the Hyakumantō Darani for some reason. I don't have Tsien's book so I can't check the source, but the existence of a woodblock printing from the 700s seems a lot more relevant than one from 1009. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.2.143.156 (talk) 11:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion on Dates

This article claims that the oldest extent movable-type printed book is from 1377, then shows (in a picture) part of a printed work "printed late 13th century." Is this picture unrelated to movable-type printing? Has someone got their dates messed up? I'm not an expert on this, but I think something might need fixing. If not, a clearer explanation of the photo's point might be in order. Thanks! 68.190.90.182 (talk) 03:33, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
