Museum director：Lisa Inoue（member of the Folklore Society in Japan）
An opening greeting：
I have collected the medical instruments of the old age when it is introduced
to the public here since the school days for the research of history of
medicine.
Cooperation is taken by the collection of these medical instruments from
many medical institutions.
While artist activities and writing activities are continued, I have continued
the research of the medicalanthropology, history of medicine and medical
folklore.
My art works kept presenting the various problems of the medical treatment,
life science, and the technology consistently.
As for me, it had interest in the learning as well medicalanthropology,
history of medecine and medical folklore with the start.
Then, it had interest gradually as for the history of mankind and science
as well while I was concerned with the problem of life science and the
technology deeply with my art works.
I reach that I work with the artist activities together at present and
the research of the medicalanthropology, history of medicine and medical
folklore is done.
The research theme which I grapple with at present is research about the
physiologist Sydney Ringer of the English modern ages. He was the physiologist
known by inventing the Ringer's solution used for the intravenous drip
infusion, and a big achievement was left again in the history of the electrocardiogram
study of the rest and the pharmacy as well. Not only it but also the thesis
of the variety which left him again was different from the IMRAD form seen
in many science theses, and the process until a conclusion was reached
at last was recorded minutely, too. Not only clinical learning target
observation but also an idea and creative power as one scientist is only
shown in such a his thesis.
I get deep sympathy as artist's one person for his creative approach.
I will continue consideration further about the life and the technology
with medical history looked back at from now on, too.
Purpose：
This museum is established for the person who has interest in history of
medicine, and the researcher.
Though the level of the medical education in present Japan is high technically
scholarly, it is the present condition that there are few scholars who
make history of medecine a speciality like the scholar of the foreign countries
besides one case.
So, this museum aims at the place of the learning interchange of the researcher
comrade of each country which had interest in history of medecine.
Future view：
It links in the future with this museum, and holding of the exhibition
which was established and which material were collected together in aims
at the actual historical materials room, too.
A wish to the medical people concerned and the
medical institution：
Please present the medical instruments which became unnecessary to my museum.
