among which the observations of eclipse and social reactions were recorded at
Hirosaki in detail under the collaboration of Clan peoples (Saito 1990).
Nakayama Shigeru (中山茂, 1928–2014) studied the history of astronomy at
Harvard University in the 1960s and his thesis constituted a comprehensive history
of Japan up to the early Meiji era. Astronomy in Japan has been advanced through
the impacts from China and Western countries. In the late nineteenth century,
Western supremacy was finally recognized, and modern astronomy started in
Japan (Nakayama 1969). Nakamura Tsuko (中村士) of the TAO collected bibliographical data on Japanese astronomy in the pre-Meiji period (Nakamura and Ito
2006). He also promoted international cooperation on the history of astronomy in
Asian countries, particularly on the rise of astrophysics in Asia (Nakamura and
Orchiston 2017).
