<Tadataka Inoh Memorial Museum>

The most important person to visit Sawara is “Tadataka Inoh”.

He is not a celebrity in Sawara, but a very famous person in Japanese history that most Japanese know.

Because he is the man who made the map of Japan! Awesome! Thanks!

So what I tell you here is Tadataka Ino’s personality.

I actually went to the Inoh Tadataka Memorial Museum to study.

I think that it is difficult to learn history if you are not a person who can not speak Japanese, so I will share information here.

Of course, there is an English version of the guidebook at the Ino Tadataka Memorial Hall, but there are no details, such as figures.

My English is really poor, but I am glad if you read this.

Let’s introduce five personalities of Tadataka Inoh.

① He is picky about everything

He made various efforts to keep the errors small during the survey.

For example, he connected 60 chains of about 30 cm length to about 18 meters to measure the distance,

We thought that if there was a deviation of about 0.12 mm in one piece, a deviation of about 7.2 mm would occur as a whole, so we conducted a daily test after the fourth survey.

He also considers the sword to affect the compass, so he changes the sword to bamboo light and uses a quartz-bearing for the compass to move smoothly.

It’s amazing if you think he has kept this commitment for years. I thought it couldn’t do it without his underlying commitment and guts.

② Rich

Before leaving Edo, he left a word in his house called a family precept, but another 7 years before his death, leaving a lot of money. It seems that the total amount was over 130 million yen when converted to current money.

After all, effort and achievements come with money. As expected it is Tadataka. Tadataka is a 100 million yen player!!!

③ Meticulous

In a letter addressed to his family, he said, “I would like to give a duck to a certain person, but if it is cheap in Sawara, you should buy it. But If it is expensive in Sawara, you should not buy it.”

In addition, the standard of judgment was described for each unit of money.

From these facts, not only his meticulousness as a merchant but also his gentleness can be seen in his easy-to-understand communication with his family.

④A man of taste

He had been reading poetically as a hobby since he was young. You wrote many songs during the survey.

I feel that a successful person has a wonderful hobby.

⑤ He loves grandchildren

In the letter, there are many words that care for his grandchildren rather than for his children.

Even every period, my own grandchild is always cute. He thinks of his family while working, but he is also wonderful.

These are his figures.

how was it?

I thought that those who have always been successful have similar characteristics.

I learned a lot.

If you are studying Japanese, I would like you to visit the Tadataka Inoh Memorial Museum to feel his worldview.
