Shueisha Shinsho / In the beginning of the 19 th century, Japanese astronomy was at the highest level in the world. A book full of intellectual excitement, highly praised by historian Michifumi Isoda! Japanese astronomy has reached the Nobel Prize in Physics today. Its roots date back to the achievement of "geniuses" in the late Edo period. It is a translation master Shizuki Tadao who created numerous terms such as "gravity," "centrifugal force," and "vacuum." A wealthy merchant Banto and Yamagata Banto who imagined the universe with an infinite expanse and even predicted the existence of aliens. Even though he was an upper-class painter, he was enthusiastic about astronomy and introduced the theory of terrestrial motion to people. Each of them had their main business of being a Nagasaki Interpreter (a Dutch interpreter), a leader of wealthy merchants, and a painter. This book is a masterpiece that comes close to the roots of Japanese astronomy by depicting the extraordinary activities of unknown geniuses who lived in the late Edo period and their surrounding persons. [Recommendation] I feel that it filled the most important part of the history book of Edo, which was written by Nagasaki Interpreter.
