Learn the history of the surgeon Seishu Hanaoka
Seishu Hanaoka was born in Nishinoyama Village of the Nate Estate in 1760. The area has nowbecome a part of Kinokawa City. During that time there wasn’t a method to remove the pain fromsurgeries. Seishu engaged in enthusiastic research in hopes of ﬁnding a way to help patients. Aftermany years of research he conducted animal and later human testing on his mother and wife.
These experimentations led to his invention of “Tsuusensan” anaesthesia mostly made with
“Datura Metel.” In 1804, he performed the ﬁrst successful lumpectomu surgical treatment undergeneral anesthesia in history. It preceded by 38 years Crawford Williamson Long’s success in atumor excision with ether anesthesia in the United States of America. You can see his relics and thedocuments his students used, and also visit his restored house-cum- clinic building “Shunrinken” atthe Seishu-no-Sato (Home of Seishu). We still admire his passionate belief in helping people andachievements which gave hope to the patients to live way back then.
