Tashiro Sanki

In this Japanese name, the surname is Tashiro.

Tashiro Sanki (田代 三喜, 1465–1537) was a Japanese doctor of kampo and the founder of the Gosei-ha school of medicine. He was a teacher of Manase Dōsan.[1]

Tashiro studied abroad in China between 1487 and 1498, and returned to Japan with new ideas regarding medicine.[2] He promulgated the use of medicine for emotional disorders.[3]
