It spread from the birth, and formation process until established and was considered in this thesis according to material in 蘭学書（Dutch learning books） and 蘭和辞書（Dutch-Japanese dictionary). It was considered whether 英華字典(missionaries' English-Chinese dictionaries） and 漢訳洋書（foreign books translated into Chinese） had influenced the formation of the translated word 蒸気（joki） and confirmed that it was unrelated in anyway
