Kainuma. Chinese medicine was introduced to Japan between the 5th and 6th centuries and has changed over time to suit Japanese needs. Todo Yoshimasu rejected the medical system based on traditional medical theory up to that time, abandoning analysis of pathophysiology. He developed a system known as “Formulations corresponding to pattern identification,” Hoshosotai, in which a specific symptom corresponds to a specific formula. Although this was the original method, much experience was accumulated in the late 18th and 19th centuries, and the traditional medical concepts that had been completely rejected by Todo Yoshimasu came back into use. However, the concept is not used to analyze the unique physiology and pathology, but is used simply as an indicator to categorize and derive prescriptions, which is a crucial difference from the traditional medical concept. The current Kampo methodology, established in the early Showa period, has been modified from the original. From the combination of signs and symptoms and the diagnosis of Western medicine, the appropriate formula is selected. If it is difficult to select a formula from only the symptoms, we use the concepts of traditional Kampo medicine (eight principles, six stage patterns, qi/blood [TM]/fluid [TM], five zang organs, etc.) along with the concepts of Western medicine. The second presentation is “The Development and Transition of Tongue Diagnosis in Japan” by T. Kawanabe. In Japan, the Gosei school promoted clinical utilization of tongue diagnosis from 15th century, and later in the Edo period, the Koho school, which emphasized the “Shanghanlun,” also began to incorporate tongue diagnosis actively. “Ao’s Records of Golden Mirror on Cold-Attack,” Ao-Shi Shanghan-Jinjinglu, and “Tongue Model on Cold-Attack,” Shanghan-Shejian, the books on tongue diagnosis introduced from China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, were widely disseminated in Japan and had a great influence on the original books of tongue diagnosis such as “Illustration of Tongue Coating,” Zettai-zusetsu, published by Tsuchida Takayuki and co-authors. Meanwhile, the theory of Yin–Yang principles did not fit in with the Koho school, “Illustration of both Abdominal and Tongue Diagnosis by Japanese Characters,” Kokuji-fukuzetsu-zukai, published by Nojo Kuronaga, which became a quite unique text that explains the correlation between tongue diagnosis and abdominal diagnosis that developed in Japan with corresponding prescriptions. One of the characteristics of Japanese old texts is the richness in expression quality such as coloring and three-dimensionality. This text will introduce the history of tongue diagnosis in Japan with existing old texts and its actual use in current medicine.

An 84-year-old man (Case 1) presented with Alzheimer disease and complained of musical hallucinations of military marching songs from 3:00 to 21:00 every day. Medication with goreisan (7.5 g/day) for 100 days completely relieved the symptoms. A 47-year-old woman (Case 2) was diagnosed with hypoacusis and complained of musical hallucinations of a popular ballad during treatment for depression and generalized anxiety disorder with escitalopram (20 mg/ day). Based on her symptoms of fear, anxiety, hypoacusis, remarkable renal deficiency in the pulse examination, and lack of dampness, goshajinkigan (7.5 g) was prescribed. As shown in Figure 1, treatment for two weeks relieved her symptoms to the point where their frequency decreased from daily to once every three days. On day 317 after the second tapering of goshajinkigan, the hallucinations relapsed. Resumption of goshajinkigan was effective immediately. Since goshajinkigan led to drowsiness as a side-effect, around day 350, its dosage was reduced to 2.5 g and hachimijiogan extract (5 g) was added. However, it was not effective and the hallucinations gradually relapsed. Therefore, goshajinkigan extract (7.5 g) was restarted for the third time on day 403. By day 462, the hallucinations disappeared Endolymphatic hydrops, Ménière’s disease, and tinnitus are reported to be associated with musical hallucinations [1]. These disorders are indications for dampnessresolving diuretic medicines. Goreisan was effective in Case 1 in this report. This formula is also recommended for endolymphatic hydrops since it contains Atractylodes lancea rhizome and Polyporus sclerotium, which inhibits aquaporin water channels in the inner ear. Since the heat pattern consists of excitatory psychiatric symptoms such as irritation, insomnia, and delirium, clearance of heat is also considered important when treating psychiatric disorders accompanied by hallucinations. Goshajinkigan, which was effective for Case 2, consists of Achyranthes root and Plantago seed in addition to hachimijiogan. Both Achyranthes root and Plantago seed are diuretic medicines. Plantago seed is also used to clear heat.
