al from the Edo period.
(12) Compilation of pharmaceutical terms and instrument names in Japanese sources related to Edo period Dutch-style medicine.
(13) Investigation of materia medica and curiosity collections from the Edo period.
(14) Compilation of data in papers from Dutch East India ships bound for Japan and other contemporary Dutch sources related to materia medica and medicinal instruments.
(15) Investigation of Meiji period catalogues of medical instruments. Compilation of data.
(16) Investigation of importers, producers and merchants of medical instruments in the Meiji period.
The discovery and investigation of numerous pharmaceutical material and medical instruments has provided a more solid foundation for research on the modernization of medicine in Edo Japan, which started already during the latter half of the 17th century. It was shown that written source material has its limits when it comes to the extent and contents of actual medical treatment methods used by Edo period physicians. Up to now our research results have been published in 49 publications including several monographs and articles for exhibition catalogues. Furthermore we have given 76 oral presentations at Japanese and 7 presentations at international congresses and conferences. Many of our articles are available through the internet. Further presentations and publications are in preparation. Less
