Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I just finished proofreading a great article by our own Mr Shinjiro Kanazawa for the upcoming issue of NAJOM. It is part of his excellent series on the history of Kampo medicine in Japan. In it he details the early history of the Gosei-ha and explores the misconception that Gosei medicine was based exclusively on Li-Zhu medicine; in fact it was much more flexible. Very timely stuff for me in that my copy of Yakazu's Kampo Gosei Yoho Kaisetsu should be here any day from Japan. This issue of NAJOM should be out in March, if you're interested.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I will look forward to the article. Shinjiro studied with me at PCOM, and I've read many of his translations. He is very good. What about Li-Zhu medicine was considered to be inflexible? What other sources was Gosei medicine based on?

So Zhang Zhongjing, Liu Wansu, He Ji Ju Fang, etc etc were all studied and used. Tashiro Sanki apparently used a limited corpus of formulae much like Zhu Danxi but somewhat different from Zhu's repertoire. So the tonic emphasis in Li-Zhu medicine was certainly part of the development of Gosei-ha, but not the sole influence. Apart from this, you can ask Kanazawa-san, since he did the research and wrote the article. Robert Hayden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
