Abstract

Kampo had been the mainstream of medicine in Japan until the Meiji Restoration discarded it in 1875. In 1910, Dr. Keijuro Wada published a book titled “Ikai-no-Tettsui," which proposed to rightly recognize Kampo in harmony with the modern Western medicine. This book inspired Dr. Kyushin Yumoto to engage in the Kampo revival movement. And Dr. Keisetsu Ohtsuka inherited Yumoto's spirit. From the historical point of view, this book has played a great role in reviving Kampo. Just now, it has been one century since “Ikai-no Tettsui" was published. This paper is intended to reveal the historical background of the book, and review the movements in the field of Kampo over the past one hundred years.
