In this paper, I shall explain a crucial point of Seki Takakazu’s argument which claims that there is a close relationship between the solid of revolution of an arc-figure (called here a finger ring) and an obliquely cut segment of a cylinder (called an
onglet
). I think his argument is the most brilliant; no one has ever attained his level. But his explanation is too concise; no one has ever found its proper interpretation. Several years ago I succeeded in deciphering his arguments in seeking the volume of solids of revolution for the first time and published it in a series of papers in Japanese. Here I shall show some of my interpretations with many figures for illustration.
