研究テーマ
Japanese sangaku and Euclidean geometry: A history of tangents or parallel lines?
The practice of dedicating sangaku (算額), votive tablets presenting geometric problems in word and image, flourished in Japan throughout the Edo period. Close to a thousand sangaku survive in shrines and temples to this day. Yet even though they showcase a unique geometrical discourse developed apart from Western mathematics, the case of sangaku is almost entirely unknown outside the country. This research project aims to put this tradition on the radar of international scholarship: by creating an open source bilingual repository for all surviving sangaku; and by forging research networks nationally and internationally to study the practice in detail.
