*''Founded: [[1843]], [[Sato Taizen|Satô Taizen]]''
*''Japanese'': 順天堂 ''(Juntendou)''
The Juntendô was a [[Rangaku]] school in [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]], [[Shimousa province]] (today, [[Chiba prefecture]]), founded in [[1843]] by [[Sato Taizen|Satô Taizen]]. It was perhaps the foremost site in [[Edo period]] Japan for the study, and actual practice, of Dutch (Western) medicine.
==History==
The school was founded in Sakura after Satô Taizen returned to [[Edo]] from studying in [[Nagasaki]] for a time; he originally established a school in Edo, but then relocated to Sakura. His curriculum centered around not only the study of Dutch medicine, but also hands-on practice and experience, including the practice of internal surgery. The school attracted students from all over the Japanese archipelago.
Taizen's adopted son [[Sato Takanaka|Satô Takanaka]]<!--佐藤尚中--> (Yamaguchi Shunkai<!--山口舜海-->) studied medicine in Nagasaki with the Dutch military doctor [[Johannes Lijdius Catharinus Pompe van Meerdervoort|Pompe]], and then came to the Juntendô, where he took in a systematic medical education, studying and developing methods which continued to play a prominent role in how medicine was practiced in the [[Meiji period]].
Following the [[Meiji Restoration]], the new [[Meiji government]] invited Takanaka to establish and run a medical school in [[Tokyo]], which later developed into the Medical School of the [[University of Tokyo]]; he established at that time the Juntendô-iin (Juntendô Clinic) in [[Ochanomizu]]. Meanwhile, the Sakura Juntendô passed into the hands of Takanaka's adopted son, [[Sato Shunkai|Satô Shunkai]]<!--佐藤舜海--> (Okamoto Dôan<!--岡本道庵-->)
The building which survives today and is maintained as a historical site was originally built in [[1858]] on the opposite side of the street, and was just one part of a larger Juntendô complex.
