Abstract:
"Seishu Hanaoka and his surgery" by Shuzo Kure is one of the most important books for the study of Seishu Hanaoka. However, several incorrect descriptions have been pointed out in the book. Therefore, we checked the content about Seicho Kamata, a distinguished disciple of Seishu Hanaoka (p.154-163) in the book, and found three incorrect descriptions. The figure being described as that of Seicho Kamata is his father's. His graveyard being described as "Nyohoji" is truly "Daizenji". Seicho Kamata is also described as the second distinguished disciple of Seishu Hanaoka ; however, authors think that he was the first distinguished disciple from his career. Further investigation into the content of the book is necessary.
