Abstract: We survey on the geometry of the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold, endowed with the classical metric established by S. Sasaki 60 years ago. Following the results of Sasaki, we try to write and deduce them by different means. Questions of vector fields, mainly those arising from the base, are related as invariants of the classical metric, contact and Hermitian structures. Attention is given to the natural notion of extension or complete lift of a vector field, from the base to the tangent manifold. Few results are original, but finally new equations of the mirror map are considered.
