Monument to Yodo Odai, a famous Chinese medicine physician in late Tokugawa shogunate
"Odai Ryodo Monument" is built in front of Daibiru on Yanagi-dori St., which is a line from Yaesu Street. It is rare that there is such a statue on the monument in the statue of Yodo Odai, who is treating patients, and a woman dispensing it.
Yodo Odai (1799-1870, 1799-1870) was a famous Chinese medicine physician from late Tokugawa shogunate who also served as a physician of Shigeru Shogun Ie. At the age of 16, he went to Edo and learned from his doctor, Odai Asadatake, succeeded his master's family, and was praised as "the two great doctors in Edo" along with Sohaku Asada.
The above is a part of the Owari-ya version of 1863, but it is said that this Yodo Odai opened in Kitamaki-cho at the time, near the current Kyobashi 1-chome. One of the two daimyo physicians, Sohaku Asada (1815-1894, 1894), also lived in Kamimaki-cho (Yaesu 1-chome) at that time. Sohaku Asada healed the French minister Roche, who suffers from severe pain in the back, with Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and has been awarded two clocks and three carpets by Emperor Napoleon III. 7-8 years ago, at an exhibition at the National Archives of the National Archives, I found Sohaku Asada's name on the list of Dr. Oku in the "Tamon Ogura Documents" and I was excited with my friends. After examining Shigeru Shogun Shigeru, who fell at Osaka Castle, he was diagnosed as "serious", and one week later, Shigeru House died, so the reputation of famous physicians increased. . It is well known that Tenshoin sent a letter of help from Shogun Yoshinobu to Saigo Takamori. After the Meiji Restoration, he also served as a physician in Emperor Meiji, and at his clinic in Yokotemachi, Ushigome, there is a record that the patient was 64 years old and treated nearly 30,000 people a year. He said that a teahouse was built in front of the clinic for patients waiting for medical treatment. The founder of Asada Ame, Izaburo Horiuchi, was a student of the Asada family and handed over the prescription of syrup, and it was Asada Ame. Even in the Meiji era, Sohaku was on a palanquin and headed for medical treatment with Jiyu.
