History of homegrown Japanese science finally adds up
This is a good though somewhat old article from the Japanese times that tries to correct the false notion that scientific development in Japan stagnated during the Edo period, and that it wasn't until the Media restoration that Japan modernized its science. Aside from the information in this article, I would go on to say that there had been many changes to Japanese society in terms of economics, infrastructure, laws, social organization, as well as scientific practices such as silviculture, as well as plantation forestry. Much more needs to be said and will be said on this blog in a while for now I simply present excerpts from the article as well as a link. Article snipped due to potential copyright issues. Please contact me if you own this article and need me to reduce the amount of material reproduced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2003/08/10/ge
