Technical Knowledge in Early Modern Japan
English
Drawing on the papers presented at CEEJAs* first international conference addressing the long-neglected field relating to the generation, dissemination and application of technical knowledge in Japan from the Edo to the Meiji periods, this volume provides a valuable selection of new research on the subject, from Hashimoto Takehikos detailed examination of Tanaka Hisashiges Myriad Year Clock, Regine Mathiass paper on mining and smelting, and Erich Pauers overview of Japanese technical books in the pre-modern era, to Suzuki Juns detailed account of boiler-making in late nineteenth-century Japan. * Centre Européen dÉtudes Japonaises dAlsace, 2017
