The system of mathematics developed in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1867) is called "Wasan (和算)"; "Wa" which means Japanese and "san" which means mathematics. The name is in contrast with "Yosan (洋算)", mathematics of Western (Occidental) world, which was introduced into Japan at the beginning of the Meiji era. The aim of this paper is to verify the four solutions discussed, concerning the center of gravity on circular cone, in Japanese Mathematics (Wasan), in those periods.
