Abstract

Art reveals core human emotions during catastrophes like epidemics, allowing people to narrate their coping stories. This review examines smallpox's historical evolution and treatment in Japan, integrating visual art with medical history. It provides chronological insights from smallpox's arrival and traditional remedies to the era of vaccination and public health measures leading to eventual eradication. Art played a vital role in Japan's smallpox eradication, helping to galvanise societal engagement and public trust. Efforts included utilising political and administrative systems for vaccination initiatives and effective public health methods for outbreak surveillance and containment. Japan's smallpox eradication story, depicted in art, offers valuable lessons on the power of robust public health policy and societal cooperation, providing a framework for managing current and future infectious diseases and pandemics.

天花治疗在日本的历史演变通过日本艺术品和木版版画可视化。
艺术揭示了人类在流行病等灾难中的核心情感,让人们讲述自己的应对故事。这篇综述探讨天花的历史演变和治疗在日本,整合视觉艺术与医学史。它提供了从天花的到来和传统疗法到导致最终根除的疫苗接种和公共卫生措施时代的时间顺序见解。艺术在日本根除天花中发挥了至关重要的作用,有助于激发社会参与和公众信任。努力包括利用政治和行政系统开展疫苗接种行动,以及利用有效的公共卫生方法监测和遏制疫情。以艺术形式描绘的日本消灭天花的故事提供了关于强有力的公共卫生政策和社会合作的力量的宝贵经验,为管理当前和未来的传染病和大流行病提供了一个框架。
