Abstract

The purpose of this article is to survey the history of general topology in Japan as it has developed for the last sixty years. To begin with we wish to emphasize that the article is a product of tight cooperation between a good number of Japanese topologists, especially M. Atsuji, T. Hoshina, H. Kato, R. Nakagawa, H. Ohta, Y. Yasui and the author, which was indispensable to cover the wide field where Japan’s general topology has been flourishing since the 1930’s.
