*''Born: [[1656]]''
*''Died: [[1737]]''
*''Japanese'': 安積澹泊 ''(Asaka Tanpaku)''
Asaka Tanpaku was an early leader of the [[Mito school]] of scholarly studies. A scholar in service to lord of [[Mito han]] [[Tokugawa Mitsukuni]], Tanpaku became a student of [[Zhu Shunsui]], learning both vernacular (spoken) [[Chinese language|Chinese]] and the reading of the [[Confucian classics]] in Chinese pronunciation.
Tanpaku played a notable role in the compilation of the [[1720]] version of the ''[[Dai Nihon Shi]]'' ("History of Great Japan"); though sections written by Tanpaku, as well as a spin-off work entitled ''Dai Nihon shi sansô'' (also known as ''Dai Nihon shi ronsan'') were excised from later versions of the ''Dai Nihon Shi'', they circulated in manuscript form and were influential in the writings of a number of other [[Edo period]] scholars, including [[Rai Sanyo|Rai San'yô]].
