Description from the seller
Tenpō 15 (1844) – Sanpō Hayagatten (算法早合点), Complete in One Volume
Illustrated Japanese Mathematics Book (Jinkōki tradition)
86 pages | Hanshibon format | With original title slip and secondary title slip
Offered here is an original Edo-period mathematical book, Sanpō Hayagatten (算法早合点), published in Tenpō 15 (1844).
This work belongs to the famous Jinkōki lineage, which introduced and popularized Wasan (traditional Japanese mathematics) among common people during the Edo period.
What makes this volume especially appealing is its abundant woodblock illustrations, which visually explain calculation methods, word problems, and everyday mathematical applications. These lively scenes depict merchants, travelers, laborers, and domestic life, vividly demonstrating how mathematics was integrated into daily Edo society.
Japan developed a highly sophisticated mathematical culture independently from the West, and Wasan represents one of the most remarkable achievements of pre-modern Japanese science. This book stands as a valuable historical document, clearly illustrating the advanced numerical literacy of ordinary people in the late Edo period.
