醫道日用綱目

Idō Nichiyō Kōmoku

(Outline of Daily Medical Practice)

This Japanese medical manual was written by Hongō Masatoyo 本郷正豊 in 1709. This manual contains the Juho Anma Hō 壽保按摩法 (Anma Longevity Protection Methods) that I’m translating into English here for the first time. This early manuscript was designed for use by medical students who were going to become physicians. There are chapters on obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, massage, pharmacology (giving prescriptions), moxibustion, and acupuncture. There are a number of illustrations in this book such as a diagram showing the internal organs classified into the five Zo (spleen, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys) and the six Fu (colon or large intestine, small intestine, gall bladder, urinary bladder, stomach, abdominal cavity). This Japanese work is based on an older Chinese manuscript.
