Mitsukuri Genpo was a court physician in service to [[Tsuyama han]]. He is known for his prominent involvement in Western Studies (''[[yogaku|yôgaku]]'') circles and institutions in the 1850s.

In [[1850]], he founded a group known as the ''[[Oshushikai|Ôshûshikai]]'' (lit. "Association for the History of the European States"), at which he gave lectures and led discussions. In [[1855]], the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] named him to a post at the shogunate's official ''[[Yogakusho|Yôgakusho]]'' (Western Studies Institute).
