Dr. Hata’s childhood home.
I visited Dr. Sahachiro Hata’s home today. He was an important doctor during the Meiji Era. He was born in Mito and went to medical school in Kyoto. There, he worked with many important doctors. Next, he went to Berlin, Germany to study in Dr. Paul Ehrlich’s lab. While he was there, he discovered a drug called Arsphenamine. However, at the time it was called Salvarsan 606. Today was an interesting day. I was happy to learn that a person from Masuda became a very well-knowndoctor. – Ben-

今日は、秦 佐八郎 博士の生家を訪ねた。博士は美都で生まれ、京都の医学大学に進み、明治時代の大変偉大な医者で活躍した人でした。そして、ドイツ・ベルリンに行き、Dr.Pau Ehrlich研究所で梅毒の特効薬・サルバルサン606を発見した。このような大変有名なお医者さんが益田から輩出されていたた事を知ってよかった。—Ben—
