名古屋玄醫

Nagoya Gen’i 名古屋玄醫

Japanese physician of the early Edo period (1628–1696). Together with 北山友松子 Kitayama Yūshōshi and 後藤艮山 Gotō Konzan, he is conventionally credited as a founding figure of the Japanese kohō 古方 (“ancient-formula”) school, which rejected the LǐZhū 李朱 JīnYuán synthesis and returned to the Shānghán lùn 傷寒論 of 張仲景 Zhāng Zhòngjǐng as the authoritative basis of clinical practice.
