Abstract
ABSTRACT In the 1620s, two books on mathematics were published in Kyoto. This article describes the cultural, religious, and commercial activities surrounding their publications and examines their contents, illustrations, and diagrams. Looking successively at several illustrations from the two books, we will see the gradual process of creating a new domain of study, mathematics, in Japan. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
