Japanese medicine enthusiastically adopted many aspects of Western medicine, especially German, during and after Japans modernization. After the war, the policy giving priority to German medicine changed greatly, and American medicine replaced German medicine in postwar days. Some people, however, questionwhether it is proper to get medical information one-sidedly from a single country. Faced with the situation of whether German or American medicine should occupythe domi-nant position in Japan, some doctors chose to establish ties with French medicine. Professor Taiei Miura (1901-1995) re-established an intimate relationship, broken off during the war, in the medical field between Japan and France.Much information was to be learned from French medicine, particu-larly in clinical neurology and psychiatry. In this essay, we relate the details of how Miura became interested in French medicine, went to study in France, then contributed greatly to Franco-Japanese friendship.
