Historic Japanese Medical Art

Japanese_medical

Some astonishing Japanese medical illustration at BibliOdyssey. More here too. Compiled from the vast collection of The Medical Library of Kyushu University. There's also the Clendening collection at Kansas University Medical Centre, which houses much Japanese medical art. Ukiyo-e are woodcuts, Yamato-e, paintings. Fascinating and (eerily) beautiful.

The above image depicts different varieties of 'pink eye'.
