Introduction to Japanese Geometry SANGAKU CAN YOU SOLVE THIS ? MATCH WITS AGAINST JAPANESE GEOMETRY （日本の幾何学と知恵比べ） Scientific American May 1998
The article on Scientific American begins with Of the world’s countless customs and traditions, perhaps none is as elegant, nor as beautiful, as the tradition of sangaku, Japanese temple geometry. 世界中の数え切れない習慣や伝統の中で、日本独自の幾何学 を記した「算額」ほど優雅で美しいものは他に見当たらない。
An illustration on the cover page of Scientific American Sangaku problem It asks for the radius of the -th largest blue circle in terms of , the radius of the green circle. Sangaku (mathematical wooden tablet) 1788 in Edo(Tokyo) Prefecture.
Note that the red circles are identical, each with the same radius. Hint ? : The radius of the 5 -th largest blue circle is.

The problem appeared as one of the applied problems at the end of the book.
30 -ball problem in Sanpo- Jojutsu
The description of the question As shown in the figure, the big ball is surrounded by 30 small balls. The small balls touch each other, and are tangent to the surface of the inner big ball as well.
If the diameter of Each small ball is 305 sun, what is the diameter of the large ball? The Answer is 682. 000 sun. Sun (寸): a unit of the old Japanese length

Nagoya City Science Museum The planetarium dome has a diameter of 35 m.
The large numbers 305 & 682 are chosen. Why such large numbers ?
Next question
Notice: We know this problem which was carried in the 1830 book Sanpo-Kisho by Baba Seitoku (1801 -1860). Accoding to the book, the problem was written on a mathematical tablet. In the book, Baba recorded thirty-six sangaku collected from shrines in Tokyo. The problem was originally proposed by Ishikawa Nagamasa, a student of the school of Baba Seito (1777 -1840), who was Seitoku’s father. It was written on a tablet, which was hung in 1798 in Gyuto Temple Shrine, Tokyo.
Therefore, it had already existed as a mathematical problem in 1798. Personal Memorandum 算額（Sangaku） 1798 東京都四谷区牛頭天王社 馬場正督の門人・石川永政 算法奇賞(Sanpo-kishyo)1830 正督の息子・馬場正統 算法助術(Sanpo-jyojutsu)1841 長谷川弘閲

Trivia The company name, Nittaku, is not printed on the ball. Because this is a custom-made ball by NIPPON TAKKYU Co. , Ltd. I think that no-logo balls are beautiful. I wish that the balls are former size.
My treature No logo ping-pong balls This work made with no logo ping-pong balls was displayed in the lobby of Nittaku Co. Bld.
