During the period of national isolation, a mathematical tradition called wasan flourished in Japan. Its practitioners produced results comparable to those of mathematicians of the European Enlightment. This companion volume to Unger's earlier translation of solutions by Aida Yasuaki (1747-1817), focuses on problems that he likely used as a teacher.

The geometry problems colorfully inscribed on sangaku plaques that survive in shrines and temples throughout Japan have long fascinated those who appreciate the beauty of geometric figures and enjoy challenging puzzles. Aida Yasuaki (1847-1817) was one of the most prolific originators of the wasan tradition that produced them. Instead of presenting and solving problems using modern techniques, Unger presents Aida's own solutions, transcribing ...
