Abstract:
Here we present research on the Koteimeidokyukyo Fushinshosho texts, as part of a study on acupuncture points in the Azuchi-Momoyama Era. The volume of texts is a collection of question and answer letters on acupuncture points between MANASE Dosan and his disciple HATA Soha. The material is significant in understanding the specifics of how acupuncture point study germinated, and then flourished in the Edo Era afterwards.
MANASE Dosan investigated acupuncture points through his bed side practice, and his masters' teachings which referred him to volumes on the art. His research was based on the Huangdimingtangjiujing and Tongrenshuxuezhenjiutujing at first, then mainly on the Shisijingfahui. HATA Soha compared these diverse theories on acupuncture points and presented his master Dosan several questions.
Thus here, we take a look at the Koteimeidokyukyo Fushinshosho to elucidate acupuncture point study specifics in the Azuchi-Momoyama Era, which hitherto have remained outside our scope of historical research.
