Summary
From Gennai Hiraga 平賀源内, Popular literature “Heppiri-ron”second volume, 1777 (放屁論後編 in Japanese)
[note] Gennai Hiraga wrote this as a funny caricature in which "a fictional person created Elekiteru".
The principle of the generation of electricity is explained by the theory of yin and yang (陰 and 陽) and the Buddhist theory of fire monism. Static electricity is described as the "principle of lightning".
Actually, the fictional person must be a caricature version of the person Gennai Hiraga himself.
He used his pseudonym or pen name as an author of books, Furai Sanjin （風来山人). So beware that Gennai Hiraga 平賀源内 name does not appear in the book.
