title: [A history of the research on bone metabolism for the past 50 years in Japan and a memory of Dr. Hirotoshi Morii].
abstract: It has been 20 years since the monthly Journal "CLINICAL CALCIUM" was published in November, 1991. This review Journal edited by Drs. Hirotoshi Morii and Yoshio Yazaki has contributed a lot to the understanding of the importance of calcium in bone and cardiovascular systems. This article describes a history of the research on bone metabolism for the past 50 years in Japan. Also, a memory of my dear friend, Hirotoshi Morii, is retraced.
