title: A historical interlock: Danube and Fuji-San, early 19th to late 20th century.
abstract: The face of the world changed quite a lot within the past two centuries. In this article, I looked around the relation between Austria and Japan from medical, political and cultural aspects and describe it briefly in a sketch style. Each sketch presents, at one time a scholar, another time a political or cultural situation, but finally focuses on dermatological relations between Austria and Japan.
