Abstract

Japanese medicine has developed over centuries differentiating its characteristics, but maintaining its base associated with Chinese and Western medicine. During this period, the population's needs and social demands were internalized and adapted. This introductory study focuses on presenting notes on Japanese medicine, with the aim of identifying the influences of Yû Fujikawa and Tôyô Yamawaki and their works in the construction of the history of Japanese medicine, and how China and the Netherlands influenced medical studies in Japan. For that, we will use as a methodology, the bibliographical research, starting from primary and secondary sources, from materials of the time and studies on the works and authors of the researched periods. It was evidenced through the research that the Chinese practices that arrived in Japan enabled the development of new medical studies, later associating with Western Medicine, adding new studies in the area of ​​anatomy. While Yû Fujikawa developed studies that contributed to the History of Japanese Medicine, being quite relevant even if little known outside Japan.
