Eiichi Shibusawa, the main character of the Taiga drama "Seiten wo Tsuke", has many achievements not only as a manager but also as a welfare pioneer.
Among them, it is worth noting that he served as director of Tokyo Yoiku-in for a long time, and he met a Leprosy patients at the institution.
Since then, Shibusawa has continued to have connections with Hansen's Disease, but it cannot be denied that his involvement was partly due to his involvement in the segregation policy.
While tracing how Shibusawa was involved with Hansen's Disease during his lifetime, we will consider how to evaluate the relationship between Shibusawa and the Issues related to leprosy.
