Sangaku (Japanese votive tablets featuring mathematical puzzles)

kanji: Sangaku 算額

Japanese mathematical votive tablet

What are sangaku ?Sangaku (算額) are votive tablets offered in shinto shrines (and sometimes in buddhist temples) in Japan. The earliest sangaku found date back to the beginning of the 17th century (a few years before the beginning of the japanese Edo period).The problems featured on the sangaku are typical problems of japanese mathematics (wasan 和算) and often involve many circles which is uncommon in western mathematics. These problems can often be seen as amusing mathematic puzzles (such as the modern Sudoku).Examples of sangaku Pictures Year Number of figures Description Shrine name(location) City Prefecture more 1847 (Koka 4) 1 Circles in a rectangle Hachiman(???) Uchiko Ehime (Shikoku) more 1686 (Jokyo 3) 11 An old sangaku in Kyoto Kitano-tenman-gu(???) Kyoto Kyoto more 1989 (Heisei 1) 2x1 Two small sangaku recently dedicated to the yasui shrine in Kyoto.

But some of the shrines mentionned in this catalogue do not have their sangaku anymore...Links and referencesIn English:An article about Sangaku published by Princeton UniversityA website dedicated to japanese mathematics (wasan) with pictures of sangaku.The website made by the author of the article article published in Scientific american (with a link to the article).About a sangaku found in Isaniwa.In French:Two articles have been published in Tangente.In Hungarian:Szabó Péter Gábor has written two articles Onearticle has been published in Szakuand the other inthe Hungarian Mathematical Journal. He has gathered some links on hisweb page.In Dutch:Zsófia Ruttkay wrote two articles in Dutchhereand here.In Japanese:A book about japanese mathematics (wasan) and sangaku.Google Webdelerue.orgsangaku.infophotographies.wsPage made by Nicolas Delerue
