Abstract

This paper is a continuation of the study on the history of the Japanese school of Finsler geometry. We had studied on the birth of Japanese school of Finsler geometry. In this paper, we find out what motivated Japanese to embrace Finsler geometry and we collect the history and analyze trends of Japanese school of Finsler geometry since its founding by M. Matsumoto.
