Oine, also known as Kusumoto Ine, was the first female doctor in Japan<ref name=Lam24>Lambourne. p24.</ref>, and the daughter of German [[Dejima]]-based physician [[Philipp Franz von Siebold]].
Her mother was [[Kusumoto Otaki]], who may have been a [[Nagasaki courtesans|courtesan]] but who in any case bore a courtesan's stamp in her official papers allowing her access to Siebold in Dejima<ref>Lambourne. p20.</ref>, the [[Dutch East India Company|Dutch]] enclave in [[Nagasaki]] closed to almost all Japanese but courtesans.
Her father was caught smuggling a variety of items, chiefly forbidden maps (which, it was believed, could fall into the hands of Japan's enemies, such as Russia, which posed a threat on Japan's northern borders), and was sentenced with banishment from Japan on 1829/9/25<ref>Lambourne. p22.</ref>. He left the country just over a week later, on 1829/10/3, two-year-old Oine and her mother waving goodbye to him from a small boat in the harbor as his ship, the ''[[Cornelius Houtman]]'', pulled away<ref name=Lam24/>.
Oine remained in touch with her father during his long exile, and was provided with Western medicines by him and with a training in Western medicine by his students who remained in Dejima<ref name=Lam24/>.
Her father returned to Japan on 1859/7/6, after thirty years of absence. By this time, Oine had married, had a daughter of her own, become the first female doctor in Japan and established a gynecology clinic in Nagasaki. She would see him for the last time in the month of 1862/3, as he was forced to return to Europe once again, and never returned to Japan<ref name=Lam24/>.
