When I first saw it, I understood it as a book about the history of a Japanese history, which is represented by 'Ado'. But the main thing about the book is what has happened to Japanese perceptions as Western medicine comes in through the Netherlands. Although Eastern medicine was not interested in peering inside of humans, it is also comparing the effects of Western medicine to that of Western anatomy, which has been passed on to Japan and has been affected by the way the human body looked.
Timon Screech: Open Edo's body
It's a book that examines the history of the history in Edo through the formation of 18th century Japanese anatomy and anatomy, which has opened its body. In the 18th century, Japan was also able to embrace Western modern knowledge while trading with the Netherlands, and this influx of Western knowledge created a boom in edgy, or Western science. Especially when Western medicine was introduced, the perception of opening human bodies in closed Japanese society was also developed. The book opens up a story with the meaning of opening up, as it were, by Edo's Athology and Medicine. The author, an art historian, uses the methodology of analyzing ideology in art to see how Japanese in Edo era have adopted and converted it, while being amazed at Western medicine and surgical instruments. The author compares the body and anatomy of the people of his time with the body of his own. A broad approach to the history of Edo's cultural history is not just a history of anatomy and anatomy but a history beyond anatomy.
