A Dispose of Yoshimasu Todo's Disciples in Morioka-Nambu Feudal Domain / 日本東洋医学雑誌

The authors previously reported on a Dr. Todo Yoshimasu's visit to a feudal lord of Nambu domain in 1752. This paper describes the outcomes of our investigation on what happened after the visit based on the diary “Zassyo” written by a chief retainer of the domain. Despite Yoshimasu's treatment, the load was not cured and ended up passing away. At that time, there were three of Yoshimasu's pupils who were from Nambu and serving as medical doctors for the domain. A record in the diary indicates that, after the lord's death, all of them were either discharged or penalized with pay cut. It indicates that Yoshimasu's revolutionary medical philosophy and methodology were not fully understood nor appreciated back then.
