Specific techniques known as Saiseihigen are reported as a measure for Mine Worker's Disease at the Iwami-Ginzan Silver Mine (Omori-cho, Oda City, Shimane). One was to boil four kinds of medicinal herbs with vinegar and water, and to send the medicine in the form of steam into the tunnel during ventilation. The other was to use have the workers use a mask, Fukumen, which included sandwiching plum meat in the mask. As a result, it is reported that both the air that was ventilated became fresher and dust suppression were realized. Neither the aim nor the assumed effect of the application of steam medicine, the main subject, were mentioned in a classical book on herbs, so inference was used. For dust suppression, it was argued that moisturization using steam and acid steam acted as a dust suppression agent. The author argues that the effects of countermeasures against dust prevention, which are carried out today, such as humidification and the use of dust suppression agents, were obtained. It is noteworthy that implementation of countermeasures resulted in a foreseeable effect.

Located in Omori-machi, Oda-shi, Shimane Prefecture, the Iwami-Ginzan Silver Mine was registered as an industrial heritage site and World Heritage site in 2007. A reddish-brown mineral soil found there at the beginning of the 17th century was donated to the Shogunate as a medicinal stone called MUMYOUI. The main component of the soil was believed to be ferric oxide, but it has been elucidated that the main component is manganese dioxide. It is similar to a mineral mined in China and described in HonzoKoumoku. While the minerals are listed as having the same name, MUMYOUI, they have different properties. The reason why the two minerals were confused by being referred to with similar notations at that time is unclear. Iwami-Ginzan halted presentation of MUMYOUI to the Shogunate once in the mid-18th century and began selling it to the general public shortly afterwards. In this thesis, I introduce the appearance of MUMYOUI from Iwami-Ginzan in functional books where it was treated as a noble medicine by the public, and used and transmitted until the end of the Tokugawa Period. In addition, it was found that the medicinal products produced in the region were developed and sold by a chief administrator, resembling processes like a modern pharmaceutical company and introduced as if the business was a community-raising project.

緒言:石見銀山領大森代官所へ 1778(安永 2)年に領民から出された一通の嘆願書,添えられた人参栽培法を記したショート・メモを調査の対象とした. 方法:その栽培法の内容が特異的だったので,先行する他の栽培法と比較検討した. 結果:このショート・メモは「朝鮮人参耕作記 田村藍水:1765」からの簡略な抜粋,図の模写であると考えられた.また,栽培技術に盆栽の手法が応用されていることから,佐渡での人参栽培法の開発が原始であると推測された. 考察:佐渡での人参栽培法の開発から日光へ栽培法が伝えられ,成書となり,三瓶山へも,また全国へも伝えられた可能性があると考えられた.
