In mythology, there is a story about a god who healed a wounded rabbit.
The god used a medicine he had.
The Kojiki was written in 712.
So this story is much earlier.
It seems that there were medicines in Japan such a long time ago.
It is a very interesting story.
Japan has mythologies, and there are “Kojiki” and “Nihonsyoki”, books that summarize these mythologies.
The hero of the mythology is, of course, a god.
However, when we study ancient history,
we can understand that mythological characters are human beings, people who actually existed.
In Japan, there is a culture that after the death of a person who has served society,
that person is worshipped as a god.
It is a very interesting story.
My specialty is Oriental medicine.
It is said that Oriental medicine was introduced to Japan with Buddhism around 500 A.D. and developed from there.
However, when I look into the ancient history of Japan, it seems that Oriental medicine existed in Japan much earlier.
I would like to study the ancient history of Japan again.
