This paper deals with the Jinbon Jeonggamnok (眞本鄭堪錄) published by Yanagita Bunjiro (柳田文治郞) in 1923. This book is one of the first Jeonggamnok documents published in Korea along with Kim Yongju's Jeonggamnok (鄭鑑錄). In 1923, Korean prophetic documents, which existed only as manuscripts, were competitively published in Japan and Korea under the same title of ‘Jeonggamnok’. This paper examines the bibliographic characteristics of Yanagita Bunjiro's book through comparison with contemporary publications: Hosoi Hajime's Jeonggamnok (鄭鑑錄), Kim Yongju's Jeonggamnok (鄭鑑錄), and Hyun Byeongju's Binan Jeonggamnok (批難鄭鑑錄眞本). In addition, this paper reviewed the characteristics of the main narratives of Jeonggamnok (鄭堪錄), the first chapter of Jinbon Jeonggamnok, from a comparative literature perspective. Korean prophetic writings often refer to the fate of the Joseon Dynasty in units of 100 years: 300-year story, 400-year story, and 500-year story. Unlike many versions, Yanagita Bunjiro’s Jeonggamnok contains a 500-year story, which is presumed to be the result of reflecting the crisis discourse of people in the 19th century ahead of the 500-year history of the Joseon Dynasty.
