Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present Condition of Dentistry in Japan Japan had for a considerably long time her own medicine, originated chiefly in China, which gradually made progress in Japan and expanded into several branches. As the years went by, in the Tokugawa Shogunate era there were a number of stomatologists who devoted themselves to the treatment of diseases of the mouth and also Technical dentists who pulled out teeth and made artificial dentures. Soon after the Restoration in 1868, marking the division between modern and old Japan, modern dentistry, with western civilizised learning and art, was introduced by foreign dentists, who practiced in Japan, and pioneer natives who came back from abroad. An American dentist, the late Dr. William Clerk Eastlake, was the first who opened an office in Japan. He was born in England and after having learned dentistry in America cams to Japan in 1860, and after having practiced eight years at Yokohama, he left for Germany. In 1880, he again came to Japan. Seven years later he died at Tokyo. Under his guidance the late Dr. Tamotsu Hasegawa, who afterward won a good reputation as a dental practitioner at Tokyo, was the first Japanese student of modern dentistry.
