Bust of Siebold
Siebold was a Dutch army doctor.
I was ordered to look into Japan not only for the doctor's work but also for trade with Japan. I arrived in Nagasaki in Bunsei 6 (1823). After that, he accompanied the head of Dutch trading post to Edo Sanfu, collected plants and animals on the way, and surveyed the height of the mountains. In Edo, I interacted with many doctors and scholars. At that time, we conducted an experiment with pupils. Genseki Habu heard that story, and Siebold taught me the chemical manufacturing method. The Shogun's family presented Aoi's crest clothing for the reward. Three years later, on his way home, the ship was wrecked, and a forbidden map of Japan and crest clothing were found, and after strict investigation, he was expelled from the country.
Siebold's daughter (Ine) also became a doctor, and a bust was built in connection with the opening of an obstetrics and gynecology department in Tsukiji.
