A focusing soft x-ray beam line equipped with a focusing premirror and a double crystal monochromator (DXM) has been constructed at BL1A in the UVSOR. An elliptically bent cylindrical mirror was used as the focusing premirror in order to attain both horizontal and vertical focusing at the sample position. Ray tracing shows that the size and shape of the focused spot at sample position with an elliptically bent cylindrical mirror is almost the same as that of an ellipsoidal mirror. Measured spot size of the monochromatic x-ray beam at the sample position was about 2 mm wide and 1 mm high, which is in good agreement with the result of ray tracing. Monochromatic x rays were observed up to 4 keV even after reflection by a platinum coated premirror with grazing angle of 1{degree}.
