On the 6th floor of a complex such as the Chuo-ku Public Health Center in Akashicho, the 19th special exhibition Tokyo 150th Anniversary Western Medicine Opening in Chuo-ku" is being held at Time Dome Akashi, a local Tenmonkan in Chuo-ku.
The event will be held from Saturday, October 20 to December 16 (Sun).

Looking at the exhibits at the venue, through Edo, late Tokugawa shogunate, and Meiji, I feel that Chuo-ku was truly a base for Western medicine.
During the Edo period, in Nihonbashi Honishicho 3-chome (now Nihonbashi Muromachi 4-chome), there was Nagasakiya where Mayor Dutch trading post stayed. During his stay, many people visited and exchanged information, and in Japan under the policy of isolation, this was one of the few places of exchange with Western civilization (Western medicine).
The photo below shows the explanation board of the Nagasakiya site at 4-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi.
At Akatsuki Park at Tsukiji 7-chome, there is a statue of Siebold, who has been staying in Nagasakiya with the director of the trading house.
The relationship between Siebold and Chuo-ku is that it was Tsukiji that his daughter, Rice, opened the maternity hospital.
This special exhibition also introduces Siebold and Siebold's daughter, Rice Kusumoto.
In Chuo-ku, there is also a "Dismantling Shinsho Monument", which is due to the translation of the "Dismantling Shinsho" by Ryotaku Maeno, a feudal physician at the Nakatsu clan's Nakayashiki in Tsukiji.
Hoshu Katsuragawa is one of the people who had always talked with Choichi Dutch trading post, who came to Edo.
The Katsuragawa family, a Dutch physician, has been a master of the Shogunate for generations since the first served the sixth shogun Ienobu Tokugawa.
Hoshu is the fourth generation, and the site of the mansion is located at Tsukiji 1-chome.
Hoshu studied Dutch studies with Genpaku Sugita and Ryotaku Maeno and others, and participated in the translation business of "Dismantling Shinsho" at a young age.
From the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji era, Chuo-ku was exactly the base of Western medicine due to the rise of Dutch studies and the influx of Western medicine to the Tsukiji settlement.
In this year's special exhibition, there are many materials on display to understand such "The Beginning of Western Medicine in Chuo-ku".
A special lecture will be held on October 27 (Saturday).
Lecturer is Tetsunori Iwashita, Professor of Toyo University.
The theme is "Western Study in late Tokugawa shogunate and Meiji and Tsukiji Katsuragawa Family, Fukuzawa Juku, Ginka Kishida".
The time is from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
