Investigation of Japanese celestial globes made in Edo era tell us the development and popularization of Japanese astronomy during Edo era. We have the largest collection in Japan in National Science Museum, eight of about fity known celestial globes. In this paper, I study three globes from our collection, which considered to be made by Harumi SHIBUKAWA, known to be first astronomer of Edo era. Discussions are also given by comparing them with other known celestial globes studied before.
