The origin of endoscopy is the speculums in Greek time which are seen among the remains of Pompeij. However no improvement was introduced on it until the 17 th century.The idea of observing inside of the living body started when revolutionary thought on diseases was establised by T. Sydenaham, G. B. Morgani and so on. In 1807P. B. Bozzini disclosed an instrument named as 'Lichtleiter' which served for illumination of human cavity. However his attempt was stopped by authorities as a magical lump. In 1856 A. J. Desormeaux made a sophisticated instrument for observation of the urinary tract and named it as 'endoscope'.In 1868 A. Kussmaul had succeeded to peep inside of the stomach of a sword-swallower with a metal tube utilizing Desormeaux's light source. In 1876 M. Nitze made a modern cystoscope and Edison's electric lamp in 1886 made it possible to manufacture various practical models of endoscpe including a gastroscope. The flexible gastroscope invented by R. Schidler in 1932 open a new area in gastric endoscopy. The flexible gastroscope was introduced into Japan soon and improvements was made on it by S. Kirihara and M. Takei.
