意味

Complete works; collected works. A comprehensive multi-volume edition containing all or most of an author's or artist's output.

A publishing noun for multi-volume collections of a writer, philosopher, composer, or artist. 全集 implies completeness — ideally encompassing everything the subject produced, including essays, letters, and juvenilia. It often runs to dozens of volumes and is associated with canonical figures (e.g., 漱石全集, 芥川全集). It contrasts with 選集 (senshū — selected works) and 文庫 (bunko — inexpensive paperback editions).
