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]
Tashiro's workbooks were written in a cryptic style, using uncommon characters and terminology, in order to preserve the secrets of his school for initiates only.[4]
