Matsumoto Ryôjun was a leading medical expert of the [[Bakumatsu]] and [[Meiji period]]s.
Ryôjun was the second son of [[Sato Taizen|Satô Taizen]], founder of the [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]] [[Juntendo|Juntendô]], a major center of medical research and education in late [[Edo period]] Japan. In [[1849]], he was adopted by [[Matsumoto Ryoho|Matsumoto Ryôho]], court physician to the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. Ryôjun was sent to [[Nagasaki]] in [[1857]], and studied for a time under Dutch medical expert [[Johannes Lijdius Catharinus Pompe van Meerdervoort]], who had established the first Western medicine hospital in Japan, the [[Nagasaki yojosho|Nagasaki yôjôsho]]. Ryôjun worked as Pompe's chief assistant for a time, and then returned to the Kantô, where he entered the service of the shogunate, playing a prominent role in overseeing and guiding the shogunate's medical activities, and serving as a medical officer for the [[Shinsengumi]]; during the [[Boshin War]], too, he worked treating wounded shogunate soldiers.
Following the establishment of the [[Meiji government]], Ryôjun was appointed the first Superintendent-General of the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] Medical Branch, and headed public campaigns for the healthful effects of drinking milk, and of bathing in the ocean.
Ryôjun was named to the House of Lords in [[1905]], and granted the title of ''[[kazoku|danshaku]]'' (Baron). He died in [[1907]].
