Description

<jats:p><jats:bold>ABSTRACT</jats:bold> The Japanese Teratology Society, previously called the Congenital Anomalies Research Association of Japan <jats:italic>was</jats:italic> officially founded on August 3,1961 in Tokyo. The first 25 years' history of the Society was reported in Congenital Anomalies in 1985 by myself. As I had served Secretary of the Society since the foundation and I am one of a few members who know the history of the founding era, the activities of the first five years of the Society are reviewed in more detail together with the work of Dr. Hideo Nishimura, Kyoto University through my personal view. A research meeting in Kyoto on February 25, 1961 was really the starting point of the Society. Then, the events of the Annual Meetings of the Society for five years, how newspapers reported them and what were the historically interesting problems in the lectures, symposia and free papers, and the changes in the numbers of members and their composition are presented. This review aims not only to record the important events in the early days of the Society but also hopefully to guide the younger researchers to achieve the final goal of prevention of congenital anomalies in the 21st century.</jats:p>
