The doors on one side are decorated with delicate patterns in gilt wire; on the other with gilt copper panels of diaper patterns set in frames of gold lacquer on black, of extraordinary richness. The ramma or friezes have boldly executed openwork designs of peonies and phoenixes, all of which are brilliantly colored, whilst the beams are painted with similar designs and plum, pine and bamboo trees. Silver mirrors that hang in pairs at the north end of the chamber serve to add a last note of splendour to what is one of the most magnificently decorated chambers among Nikko's many sumptuously appointed rooms. A short passage conducts to the Naijin, with another splendidly panelled and painted ceiling and doors with openwork carvings of peonies. Upon the three lustrous gold and black lacquered altars stand gold vases filled with gilt-paper gohei. At each side and each end of the room are wonderfully fresh and well-preserved wallpaintings of Buddhist deities attributed to Kano Tannyu, 1602-1674. These last are protected by silk brocade curtains of the richest design. Upon leaving the Haiden once more, we return to the Third Court--that is, to the court between the Yomei and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries Japan was totally isolated from the West by imperial decree. During that time, a unique brand of homegrown mathematics flourished, one that was completely uninfluenced by developments in Western mathematics. People from all walks of life--samurai, farmers, and merchants--inscribed a wide variety of geometry problems on wooden tablets called sangaku and hung them in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines throughout Japan. Sacred Mathematics is the first book published in the West to fully examine this tantalizing--and incredibly beautiful--mathematical tradition. Fukagawa Hidetoshi and Tony Rothman present for the first time in English excerpts from the travel diary of a nineteenth-century Japanese mathematician, Yamaguchi Kanzan, who journeyed on foot throughout Japan to collect temple geometry problems. The authors set this fascinating travel narrative--and almost everything else that is known about temple geometry--within the broader cultural and historical context of the period. They explain the sacred and devotional aspects of sangaku, and reveal how Japanese folk mathematicians discovered many well-known theorems independently of mathematicians in the West--and in some cases much earlier. The book is generously illustrated with photographs of the tablets and stunning artwork of the period. Then there are the geometry problems themselves, nearly two hundred of them, fully illustrated and ranging from the utterly simple to the virtually impossible. Solutions for most are provided. A unique book in every respect, Sacred Mathematics demonstrates how mathematical thinking can vary by culture yet transcend cultural and geographic boundaries.
