*''Japanese'': 佐藤家 ''(Satou-ke)''
The Satô family of [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]] ([[Shimousa province]], today [[Chiba prefecture]]), consisting chiefly of the adopted sons of [[Juntendo|Juntendô]] founder [[Sato Taizen|Satô Taizen]], and their adopted sons in turn, were prominent figures in the study and practice of [[Rangaku|Western medicine]] in [[Bakumatsu]] and [[Meiji period]] Japan. Several of Taizen's natural sons who were adopted into other families and took on other names were also prominent Bakumatsu or Meiji period figures.
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]].
Takanaka later founded the Juntendô-iin (Juntendô Clinic) and Juntendô University in [[Tokyo]], as well as a school of medicine which was later absorbed into the [[University of Tokyo]]. [[Sato Susumu|Satô Susumu]] (Takawa Kaiseki), another adoptee into the [[Sato family (Juntendo)|Satô family]], succeeded Takanaka as the head of several of these institutions. 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-->). Takanaka's natural daughter, [[Sato Shizu|Satô Shizu]], was a pioneer in women's education, and served for a time as head of a private women's school of art.
Several of Satô Taizen's natural children, meanwhile, were adopted into other families. One such son, [[Matsumoto Ryojun|Matsumoto Ryôjun]], studied Western medicine with Pompe in Nagasaki, was appointed to a high-ranking post within the shogunate's medical office, and later became a medical officer with the [[Imperial Japanese Army]]. Another of Taizen's sons, [[Hayashi Tadasu]], served for a time as Japanese consul in England, and as Foreign Minister, playing a key role in the development of the [[UK-Japan Alliance]]. A number of prominent figures, including [[Enomoto Takeaki]], [[Mitsukuri Rinsho|Mitsukuri Rinshô]], and [[Ogata Koreyoshi]], meanwhile, married into the Satô family.
