Dr. Sakaguchi, who has succeeded to the “Asada-style” of Dr. Hosono's Kampo Medicine, has been long studied the dietary theories of Sakurazawa, acupuncture, moxibustion, and homeopathy based on Hosono Kampo Medicine.<br>Dr. Sakaguchi has made great contributions, along with Dr. Shiro Hosono, the reconstruction of Showa Era (1926-1989) Kampo medicine through pharmacological studies of Kampo formulae, and development of their extracts. One remarkable characteristic of Dr. Sakaguchi, as a clinician, is that he attaches importance to “the treatment of minus one-year-olds”, i. e. the treatment by Kampo medicine for a pregnant woman.
