Asada Sōhaku 浅田宗伯 (1815–1894; imina Asada Korehisa 惟常 / 淺田惟常, zì 識此, hào Ritsuen 慄園 — written 栗園 in some sources), the towering late-Edo and Meiji kanpō 漢方 physician of Shinano 信濃 origin. The most influential clinical kanpō author of the nineteenth century. Court physician to the Tokugawa shogunate from 1865 and to the Meiji emperor after the Restoration; he attended the future Emperor Taishō as an infant. As the foremost kanpō representative during the Meiji-era institutional displacement of kanpō by Western medicine, he founded and directed the Hakusaidō 博濟堂 beriberi hospital from 1878 and wrote the institutional postscript (Hakusaidō ki 博濟堂記) to KR3eh054 Kakke gairon 腳氣概論 (1879). His more famous independent works include Kōchū Shōkan ron 攷注傷寒論, Zatsubyō ron 雑病論, Shoyaku kunkō 諸薬訓蒙, Kakushikō shū 橘窓書影 (case histories), Senshetsu iwa 先哲醫話, Mochiyō saiyō 勿誤藥室方函口訣, and the medico-biographical Kōkoku meii den 皇國名醫傳 (KR3es006, 3 juan, Kaei 4 = 1851) with its companion appendix Kyōrin zawa 杏林雜話 (1865). He is the eponym of Asada-ryū 浅田流 kanpō, still the largest tradition of Japanese herbal medicine. The whole Asada zenshū runs to some 80 titles in 200+ volumes; the standard bibliographic survey is Mayanagi Makoto’s online catalogue.
