Research Abstract

This study presents information about the public health administration of the Home Department during Meiji era, Japan, especially focusing on health bureaucrat Sensai Nagayo(1838-1902), who was entrusted with serving as the first director of the Central Sanitary Bureau and who embarked on great efforts to develop the administration system in modern Japan.
Nagayo participated in the Iwakura Mission from 1871 which aimed to investigate the medical education system in the US and Europe. After the exploration in the US, he found the modern sanitary administration system in Europe, especially in Berlin, Germany. After coming back to Japan, Nagayo's influence on public health and public service was broad. For example, he was instrumental in fighting the cholera epidemic in Japan ; he tried to create a relationship between central and local governments to improve the public health system ; and he worked to improve environmental hygienic, participating in legislative efforts on the Sanitary regulations.
In this study, I investigated documents and books regarding Nagayo's lectures and opinions about public health administration in Japan and Germany, as well as those of some of his colleagues, e. g., Shinpei Goto(1857-1929), Shibasaburo Kitasato(1853-1931), and so on. I also investigated other aspects of public health administration in Japan and Europe, especially Germany.
