About this work
Description
A woodblock printed volume of illustrations taken from a treatise on bandages and bindings, but the accompanying two volumes of text are missing from this copy. It was originally written by the editor’s father, Ōtsuki Gentaku, under the title Hōtai zushiki 繃帯図式, but Ōtsuki Genkan (1785-1838) edited the volumes for this publication in 1813. Many of the bandages are applied to battlefield wounds. Most patients illustrated are Japanese in appearance, but the last illustration depicts a European person in a leg-splint, presumably taken from an imported book.
