The standard narrative of modern Japanese medicine celebrates figures like Erwin Bälz and Kusumoto Ine (Japan’s first female doctor of Western medicine). Yet beneath this triumphant story lies a submerged archive of female folk practitioners. In 1903, the Nagano Prefectural Police recorded the arrest of a “blind, forty-eight-year-old itinerant woman” for violating the 1874 Medical Ordinance. Her name, recorded only phonetically as “Mei,” disappears from official records after her sentencing.
