This book was further famous for its impact on many scholars of the Edo period, including Takakazu SEKI, who later became an authority of Wasan (Japanese mathematics), and Ekiken KAIBARA, a Confucian scholar; both of them self-studied mathematics using "Jinkoki" when they were young.
同書はまた江戸時代の多くの学者に影響を与えたことでも知られており、後に和算の大家となった関孝和や儒学者の貝原益軒なども若いころ『塵劫記』を用いて数学を独習していたことがわかっている。
