[Ogata Koan and Soeda Gensyun: the completion of the house of the president of the Western Medical School].
Ogata Koan had an official relationship with Soeda Gensyun as a doctor of the Western Medical School in August of Bunkyu 2 (1862), when Ogata became the president of the school. At that time, the president's residence had not been completed, so he lived in a temporary house. Ogata visited Soeda's house to borrow it. The reason why the completion of the president's house was delayed was that Shogun Iemoti, his wife, and Tensyoin suffered from measles, and Ito Genboku resigned as the court physician (okuisi). Soeda made efforts for the marriage of Nanae, Koan's daughter, to Otsuki Gensyun, the first son of Otsuki Synunsai.
