[Anatomical education in the late Meiji era --Lu Xun, doctor Fujino and their comtemporaries].
Lu Xun studied medicine at Sendai Medical School for 1 and a half years and then changed his course to Literature. In his novel "Doctor Fujino", Lu Xun told his memory on the anatomical notes in which Professor Fujino made numerous corrections. I analyzed the anatomical notes by Lu Xun and his classmates, and revealed the situation of lectures at that time. The teachers drew many anatomical illustrations on the black board with colored chalks. The lecture notes of students may be either clean copies rewritten after lectures or crude notes written during the lectures. When making clean copies, they copied anatomical illustrations in the anatomical textbooks at hand. The anatomical textbooks by Gegenbaur, Rauber and Ishikawa were utilized. Lu Xun made clean copies in the first two months after matriculation, and made crude notes after then. Corrections by Professor Fujino were found in the crude notes for his lectures.
