It's real interesting, but what are the dots in the chapter ring that look like braile or maybe some kind of numeral notation?
Notice that the gnomon's shadow is not visible on the stainless steel- at least in this photo. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J. Tallman Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 9:30 AM To: Sundial Mailing List Subject: Interesting sundial in Japan Hello All, Here is a dial in Japan that I thought some of you may find interesting: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sundial_bunkanomori_tokushima.jpg I have seen it a couple times in the past month while casually browsing for sundial pictures, but I have never been able to find a good description for it. Does anyone know about this dial? I would be interested in what some of you think is really going on here, since this is a pretty unique configuration.
