Narutaki School

This is a clinic and school that Siebold established near Nagasaki. Siebold came to Japan in 1823 (Bunsei 6) as a doctor at the Dutch Hospital in Dejima, Nagasaki. He initially practiced medicine on Dejima, but his reputation as a great doctor grew, and thanks to the efforts of interpreters Yoshio Kosai and Narabayashi Souken, he began to travel from Dejima to the Narabayashi residence once every five days to give medical treatment and clinical lectures. The following year, under the name of a Japanese interpreter, he purchased a plot of land of just over two chobu in Narutaki, on the outskirts of Nagasaki, and built a clinic and school with two main buildings and two separate buildings. He commuted from Dejima to treat Japanese patients and teach medicine and natural sciences. His students included over 50 people, including Keisaku Ninomiya, Junzo Mima, Kensuke Oka, Koryosai, and Choei Takano, and they had a great influence on Dutch studies at the time. The remains of his school are preserved as a national historic site in Narutaki-cho, Nagasaki City.

シーボルトが長崎近郊に設けた診療所兼学舎。長崎出島(でじま)蘭館(らんかん)医師として1823年（文政6）来日したシーボルトは、初めは出島内で診療にあたっていたが、名医の評判が高まり、通詞吉雄幸載(つうじよしおこうさい)や楢林宗建(ならばやしそうけん)らの尽力で、5日に一度出島から楢林家に出張して診療と臨床講義を行うようになった。翌年日本人通詞の名義で長崎郊外鳴滝に二町歩余の土地を購入し、母屋(おもや)二棟と別棟二棟の診療所兼学舎を建て、出島から通って日本人の診療と医学、自然科学を教えた。彼に学んだ者としては、二宮敬作、美馬順三(みまじゅんぞう)、岡研介、高良斎(こうりょうさい)、高野長英(ちょうえい)ら50余名があげられ、当時の蘭学に大きな影響を与えた。遺跡は国史跡として長崎市鳴滝町に保存されている。
