Goble, Andrew Edmund
- Abstract
The essay focuses on the history of patient-physician interactions in late 16th century Japan. The author emphasizes that late 16th century medicine in the country provides evidence of the beginnings of the medical culture of the early modern period. The author discusses the use of the material in the medical diary of Japanese aristocrat-physician Yamashina Tokitsune called the ''Tokitsune kyōki,'' which aided in the research for the period.
