*''Japanese'': 渋江長伯 ''(Shibue Chôhaku)''
Shibue Chôhaku was a physician and herbal specialist (''[[honzogaku|honzôgakusha]]'') in the service of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. He is said to have been the first to raise [[sheep]] in Japan, starting in [[1817]].
In [[1798]], he was assigned by the shogunate to establish and manage a garden of medicinal plants at the [[Tsu han]] mansion in the Sugamo area of [[Edo]]; this came to be known as the [[Sugamo yakuen]]. The following year, he traveled to [[Ezo]] (Hokkaidô) on shogunate orders to conduct a survey of medicinal plants. In addition to plants, he raised sheep at the Sugamo garden, and experimented with making woolen cloth or felt.
