On September 1, 1923, the Great Kantō Earthquake struck the region of Kantō. Great cities, such as Tokyo and Yokohama, were utterly devastated. The number of deaths exceeded more than 100,000. Many civilians were desperate, and some were overexcited to kill thousands of immigrant Koreans. Numerous academic and general books and papers illuminating the dark details of the destroyed cities, agitated people, and massacred immigrants have been published. However, the positive aspects have not been researched. Since Japan has frequent catastrophic earthquakes, several Japanese people were familiar with helping damaged cities and injured people. From the late nineteenth century, medical schools and major hospitals sent teams to help the impacted areas and care for wounded patients.
 
A few days after the Great Kantō Earthquake destroyed Tokyo and Yokohama, medical schools in other areas of Japan dispatched teams to help the wounded people in Tokyo, Yokohama, and other impacted cities. Since Tokyo Imperial University and one of its medical school buildings were partly destroyed and burned down in the earthquake, some medical divisions joined the emergency crews after about ten days. There are invaluable historical sources that elucidate these efforts. Professor Kazuhiko ?e, Director of the Museum of Health and Medicine, has allowed some historians and sociologists to consult essential documents detailing the actions at the Second Division of Surgery at the Medical School of the Imperial University of Tokyo. By analyzing the material, we can read the precious records of the professors, doctors, nurses, and patients left in the archive.
 
This booklet includes two lectures - one by Jun Suzuki and the other by Akihito Suzuki - on medical help and patients’ responses during the Great Kantō Earthquake. Jun Suzuki emphasized the impact of the destructive and enormous fire on the eastern side of Tokyo and examined the medical school’s closeness to the fire’s center. Akihito Suzuki focused on constructing case histories of the earthquake by combining relevant reports in German and Japanese languages. He also examined two patients who underwent surgical operations and illustrated the differences in their narratives of their wounds. These lectures are followed by excellent comments by Professor Waka Hirokawa (Senshu University) and Professor Kitamura Sae (Musashi University), two young and brilliant historians of medicine and related subjects. Other questions and comments follow. Perhaps the most significant and essential contribution was made by graduate students who contributed to reading the documents and case histories, many of which were written in German. Our profound thanks go to Yasunari Oda, Hisako Hori, Aki Shōgetsu, and Shintarō Yamanaka.
 
We have commenced the historical and sociological study of the activities of the medical school and hospital of the University of Tokyo, and thus far have published two booklets. The other is Kantō Daishinsai to Todai Igakubu Daini Geka II, delivered on September 23, 2022. We had Namabu Akagawa and Akihito Suzuki as speakers and Maika Nakano (Hiroshima University) and Akinobu Takabayashi (Rikkyo University) as their respective commentators.
