About the Seonam Oriental Academic
Works
The world is watching at Asia, especially East Asia with
great interest in the recent years. However, the need
for interest and research on Asian studies, which are
very fundamental for Koreans, were neglected until now.
Moonji Publications materialized this concern into "Seonam
Oriental Academic Works" series and Seonam Reference
for Asian Studies series with the support of S´ënam Foundation.
