Yoshio Genkitsu : Life and Works of a Forgotten Scholar of \u22Dutch Studies\u22
No full textはじめに・１ 先行研究・２ 元吉の生涯について・３ 元吉の教え・３.１ オランダ語学習・３.２ 医療・外科治療・医薬品・おわりにYoshio Genkitsu practiced and taught medicine for at least two decades with great success. In a diary entry dated March 1790, Sugita Gempaku refers to him as “Shian-sensei”, indicating an equal footing between these two scholars of “Dutch Studies” (rangaku). Nevertheless, little is known about Yoshio Genkitsu, alias Shian, who settled in Kyoto around 1799 and started one of the earliest private “Dutch Studies” schools in the Kinki region. Since Ôtsuki Joden included Yoshio in his “Chronological Table of Western Studies” (Nihon Yôgaku nenpyô) in 1877, only a few minor discoveries have been reported. Based on sources listed by Ôtsuki and “The History of Medicine in Kyoto” (Kyôto igaku-shi, 1980), as well as manuscripts recently discovered by the author, this study aims at a more detailed and comprehensive description of Yoshio\u27s teachings and writings. The name of Yoshio\u27s school, Rikugadô, taken from a classical poem in the “Book of Odes“ (Shijing, Liao e) that laments parents left behind far away, as well as an example of a medical treatment given in his manuscript “Surgical Tradition of the Rikuga-Hall” (Rikugadô geka densho), suggest that he was born in Kyushu. Family ties to Yoshio Kôgyû, the renowned pioneer of “Dutch Studies” in Nagasaki, however, cannot be verified. Yoshio Genkitsu taught Dutch reading and writing using a copy of a manuscript written in 1785 by Maeno Ryôtaku, who was instrumental in the epoch-making translation of Kulmus\u27s “Anatomical Tables” and might well have been his language teacher. At an early stage of his career, Yoshio also received instruction from an unidentified European surgeon at the Dutch trading post at Dejima. By 1822, he had become famous enough to be included in Kyoto\u27s Who\u27s Who, “Heian Personalities” (Heian Jimbutsu shi). As was customary in many private schools at that time, Yoshio\u27s teachings were recorded by his students, six of whom left their names in related manuscripts. These writings show that he was not at all a blind adherent to Western ideas. The occasional use of a Chinese alias (Teibi) and manuscript titles such as “Medical Words from Shrike Tongues” (Gekizetsu iden) show his profound classical education, as well as a certain dislike for Dutch sounds. Nevertheless, he taught language using Maeno\u27s “Translation Aids” (Oranda yakusen), an outstanding manuscript compiled on the basis of Dutch teaching materials such as Barend Hakvoord\u27s “Opregt onderwys in de letter-konst” and Willem Bartjens\u27 “De vernieuwe cyfferinge”. Here we find Maeno\u27s unique translation technique developed for Dutch texts, a short glossary, basic Dutch expressions, and several types of letters, ligatures, and other useful information. Among the extant medical manuscripts, “The Book on Anomalies” (Seiheki kôhen) is an ambitious and historically very early attempt to understand Western humoral pathology. The use of Dutch terms such as “zeymig vocht” (viscid humidity), “zuuren der vogt” (acidity of humidity) , and “alcalinius” (alkali) points to a modernized version containing the iatrochemical concepts of Franciscus Sylvius and Herman Boerhaave. Yoshio\u27s surgery begins with the treatment of “swellings” (ulcers, fistulas, abscesses, tumors, etc.) combining Chinese nomenclature with Western treatment methods. “Surgical Tradition of the Rikuga-Hall” (Rikugadô geka densho) presents dozens of Western pharmaceuticals such as Aqua Mercurialis, Tinctura Myhrrae, Mel Rosarum, Theriaca, Emplastrum Diapalmae, Salpeter, Petra Cananor, and Sal Ammoniacis. The scope of their application exceeds the established usage of plasters and ointments for “swellings” and wounds. Yoshio uses Sal Ammoniacis, for example, with success in more than 100 cases of epileptic seizures. Before starting surgical treatment, he demands careful preparation of the necessary medicaments and instruments (scissors, knives, needles, cauter irons, syringes, etc.), and even describes in detail an operation on cheilognathopalatoschisis. Several of Yoshio\u27s handwritten texts dealing with oils, plasters, ointments, tinctures, and syrups are translated excerpts from European books. The most advanced manuscript, “Excerpts on Liquid Medicines from the Far West” (Ensei kisui bassui), gives the name of each medicament in Latin, and describes its production and usage. Yoshio talks about his own experiences, discusses Japanese substitutes, and accepts or refutes given usages of medicaments. In the case of Mel Rosarum (rose honey), he even makes a blunt attack on the revered Yoshio Kôgyû. Rooted deeply in the world of Chinese classics while studying Western medicine from an independent perspective, combining tradition, observation, and experience without much respect for great names, Yoshio Genkitsu must have been a somewhat difficult character. Perhaps this is why we do not find more traces of interactions with his colleagues in “Dutch Studies”, where he deserves a much more prominent place
Review Of The Architecture Of Yoshio Taniguchi By Y. Taniguchi
No full textThis is an exceptionally beautiful book worthy of its author and subject, Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi, recently selected to design the renovation and expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, his first major work abroad. Architecture, addressing the visitor, may be loquacious, or else declamatory, or even histrionically assertive. Taniguchi\u27s architecture is singularly courteous; it speaks softly, surely, and sensitively. Trained in engineering in Tokyo and subsequently in architecture at Harvard, he puts structural sophistication to the service of his poetry of shifting spaces and subtle lighting that is distinctly Japanese. In visual experience, going through his building resembles a stroll in a Japanese garden; but he accomplishes this without undermining functional logic. The book presents his 17 works, two from the 1970s, five from the 1980s, and ten from this decade, each exquisitely illustrated and accompanied by the architect\u27s succinct but informative commentary. Seven of them are art museums, and the MOMA project is showcased with analytical notes and plans. Fumihiko Maki, the architect\u27s senior, contributed a thoughtful critical essay that articulates with precision the sources of Taniguchi\u27s architectural aesthetics. In this modest autobiography, Taniguchi reflects on his career as a learning process. Recommended for all libraries. General readers; undergraduates through professionals

This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan

Cytoplasmic factors that control nuclear behavior in mammalian oocytes: A re-evaluation of studies performed as a student of Yoshio Masui
No full textStudies performed by the author in the laboratory of Dr Yoshio Masui are reviewed and interpreted in the light of subsequent findings. The first series of studies indicated that that chromosome condensation during meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes is controlled initially by a stable protein that decays during maturation and subsequently by an unstable protein synthesized after germinal vesicle breakdown. Cyclin B is present in immature oocytes, becomes partially degraded near metaphase I and then re-accumulates, suggesting that this may be protein whose activity was inferred from the original results. The second series of experiments indicated that factors which appear in the oocyte cytoplasm during maturation are able to remodel the sperm into metaphase-like chromosomes, and that the supply of these factors is limited. Recent work indicates that these factors are required for the assembly of histones onto the sperm DNA, and has identified two molecular species, mNAP-1 and NPM-3, known to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly in somatic cells, that are expressed in oocyte
