Line about 200m to the northeast |
| He was born at Kita Horie in the 18th
year of Houreki(1763). He gave full scope
to his ability in the experiment of electricity
despite of severe poverty, so he attracted
Hazama Chogai's attention. He went to Edo by his support and learned Dutch studies from Otsuki Gentaku. After returning to Osaka, he translated Dutch studies on astronomy, medical science for Chogai and others while he was in medical practice. He opened a private school named Shikando. Among his disciples was Naka Tenyu, who was an earlier disciple before Ogata Koan and Fukuzawa Yukichi. |
