[Addendum to the research on the institutionalization of anatomical studies in modern Japan].
Up to the present, many studies have described the processes of the institutionalization of anatomical studies in modern Japan. But due to the lack of primary sources, especially regarding the situation from the late Meiji period to the Taisho period, there are still some blanks to fill in. This paper reassesses the daily records of a gross anatomy laboratory as historical material and tries to grasp the situations of institutionalization during the said period through analysis. In consequence, several practices of the laboratory not yet open to the public, for example, how and from where cadavers had been collected for anatomical studies in those days, have come to light and some insight into the relationship between medical science and society could be gained.
