[[File:Bauduin.jpg|right|thumb|320px|Bust of Bauduin at [[Ueno Park]], erected in 1973 on the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the park]]
Dr. A.F. Bauduin was a Dutchman who lived and worked in Japan as a physician from [[1862]]-[[1871]].
When the temple of [[Kan'ei-ji]] was destroyed in the [[1868]] [[Battle of Ueno]], there were plans to build a hospital on the site, but Bauduin suggested that given the natural beauty of the place, it might be made into a public park. As a result, in [[1873]], [[Ueno Park]] was established as the country's first public park.
