Sangaku are wooden tablets depicting geometric or mathematical problems. They are objects typical of the Edo period. Since these tables were exposed in the temples, the related geometry is known as the Japanese Temple Geometry. Here we illustrate a digital approach to Sangaku. The specific problem we are discussing in the construction of a regular pentagon.
