[On a circular notice about herbs in Kisodani of mid-Edo period]

Goto T, Tanaka T, Yamaguchi S.

There is a circular notice about the gathering of herbs in Kiso-dani of Mid-Edo Period, and this notice is stocked at T. Simada's house in Nakatsugawa City. Thirty-two herb names and the prices are recorded in this notice, and some of them have the precise description of collection, medical parts, processing, general treatment, etc. Doeki Mimura contributed greatly to the development of Kiso Yakushu (crude drug), however, we cannot pass over the activity of Saiyaku-shi (medical officer) as well.
