Hey Key, I’ve recently become really interested in Tadataka Ino. Do you know much about him?
Yes, I do! He was an amazing Japanese mapmaker and surveyor from the Edo period. What got you interested in him?
I read that he started his surveying career at the age of 50. That’s pretty late, isn’t it?
Yes, it is. Most people think about retiring at that age, but Tadataka Ino began a whole new career. He moved to Edo and studied astronomy and surveying under Takahashi Yoshitoki.
That’s impressive. I also heard he walked about 40,000 kilometers to survey Japan. Is that true?
Absolutely. From 1800 to 1816, he traveled all over Japan, measuring distances and angles. His work was incredibly accurate for that time.
How did he manage to make such precise maps?
He used advanced methods, like measuring his steps and using tools like a sextant and a compass. He also observed stars to find his exact location. After he died in 1818, his students finished his detailed map of Japan’s coastline.
That’s amazing. Where can I learn more about him?
There’s the Tadataka Ino Memorial Museum in Katori City, Chiba. They have exhibits on his work and life. You can also visit his old house in Sawara, which is now a museum.
I’d love to visit those places. His dedication is really inspiring. Do you know any of his famous quotes?
Yes, one of his quotes is, “Step by step, it is important to keep moving forward.” It reflects his methodical approach to his work.
That’s a great quote. Any others?
Another one is, “As long as a person has a dream and keeps moving forward, extra life is not needed.” It’s about the importance of having dreams and pursuing them, no matter your age.
I really like that. It shows how passionate he was about his work. One more?
Sure. He also said, “Walk, walk. The importance of continuing.” It emphasizes perseverance and not giving up.
Those quotes are so motivational. Tadataka Ino’s life and work really show the power of persistence and passion. I’m definitely going to visit the museum soon.
I’m sure you’ll find it fascinating. His life is a great example of how dedication and hard work can lead to amazing achievements, even if you start later in life.
