How the Japanese Updated Traditional Herbal
Medicine
Akira Tsumura, the Author$B!!(B
About the Author :
Akira Tsumura has unique qualifications to
brief us in the Western world
on the history and benefits of Japanese herbal
medicine.
The pharmaceutical firm he heads has a long
family tradition.
Tsumura, Inc. was founded by his grandfather,
Jusha Tsumura,
and has diversified to become the leading
supplier of herbal medicinals.
Sub-sidiaries in the United States are well-known
distributors
of health and beauty care products.
At Tsumura, Inc. scientists using the latest
technology
are testing the properties of various ancient
Kampo medication.
In the Tokyo suburb of Tsuchiura, the firm
has constructed a modern,
high-tech factory using robots for difficult
research procedures.
The auther also has a warm appreciation of
the needs
and attitudes of the American people.
His interest in Western culture has remained
strong since he pursued a degree
in business management at the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
He has formed his own Dixieland jazz group
in Japan, the Storyville Dandies !!!
His collection of vintage banjoes is the
best in the world.$B!!(B
