Abstract: In 2021, to mark the occasion of 2021 was Yôichirô Nambu's birth centenary, we engaged in writing a historical/scientific description of his most incisive papers. Nambu was the humblest genius we have known, and we expected to find some of his great but forgotten insights. We found one, written in 1947: ``A Note on the Eigenvalue Problem in Crystal Statistics", where he formulates and solves the $(N\times N)$ Ising model in a $2N$-dimensional Hilbert space
