35 Reflecting this shift, the title of one of the specialized journals in the field, East Asian Science, Technology
and Medicine changed its name to that from Chinese Science in 1999.
36 See, for example, the work on Five Phase cosmology by Yoshino Hiroko, explicitly “Nihonjin no kazu
shinkō”; also Takemitsu Makoto, “Kodai Nihon no saii shisō to tōzai bunbu.”
37 See the discussion of unidirectional two- men frame saws in Coaldrake, The Way of the Carpenter,
130–137.
38 See, for example, the three stages of the development of Japanese iron- working, from the second
through the eighth centuries, in Iida, “Kodai Nihon no kinzoku bunka.” He dates these stages roughly
by century and somewhat vaguely.
39 Kanda Shigeru, Nihon tenmon shiryō. Saitō, first in his Kotenmongaku no sanpōmichi, and then in later works
including Kotenmongaku no sanpōmichi, was perhaps the first to adopt the new approach, followed shortly
thereafter by Hosoi and Minekawa, “Rikkokushi mishūroku no nisshoku to kokushi” and “Nihon
tenmon shiryō mishūroku no nisshoku to kiroku.” I attempted to follow their lead in Buhrman, “The
Stars and the State.” For an example of the new history of mathematics, see Ōya, Wasan izen.
40 Park and Daston, “Introduction: The Age of the New.”
41 See the discussion of the project in the introduction by Itō Shuntarō in his edited volume, Nihon no
kagaku to bunmei: Jōmon kara gendai made. The definition of technology is from Francesca Bray, Technology
and Gender: Fabrics of Power in Late Imperial China, 15–16.
