EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment between a doctor and a child, as they engage in the ancient practice of Sino-Japanese sphygmology. With utmost care and precision, the doctor delicately feels the child's pulse using both hands, following the rules set forth by this traditional medical technique. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the significance of this interaction. Intriguingly, this image showcases not only the artistry behind Japanese woodblock prints but also highlights cultural exchange in medicine. The intricate calligraphy surrounding them adds an air of authenticity to their encounter, emphasizing its importance within their shared healthcare system. The presence of a female physician challenges gender norms for that era and speaks volumes about progressiveness in medicine. Meanwhile, we witness a concerned mother observing her child's examination with hope and trust in these skilled practitioners. This photograph is not merely an artistic representation; it serves as a reminder of our universal pursuit for good health and well-being. It symbolizes the timeless bond between patient and healer transcending time and borders. Displayed at Biomedical Library in Los Angeles, California, USA, this facsimile print from Yoshitoyo (d. 1866) offers us insight into historical medical practices while celebrating diversity within healthcare systems worldwide.
