Abstract:

The town of Moroyama, where Japan University of Medical Science is located, is a region rich in nature located in the southwestern part of Saitama Prefecture, almost in the center of Musashi Province.

Today, medical institutions and medical research institutes are well established and community-based medical facilities support the health of the residents, but the path to the development of medical care in Moroyama as we know it today was marked by people's desire for good health and various attempts to promote health.

In this lecture, we will read ancient documents and local customs from the early modern period from the perspective of medicine and nursing, and unravel how people in the Edo and Meiji periods thought about health.
