  • Jennerian Vaccination and the Creation of a National Public Health Agenda in Japan, 1850–1900

    Ann Bowman Jannetta, Ann JannettaARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2009

    Vaccination played a leading role in transforming the social and political status of medicine in Japanese society in the second half of the nineteenth century. The process began well before the Meiji Restoration of 1868 created a centralized government under the Japanese emperor. At the beginning of the century, medicine was a private business. There was no oversight from an interested government, and there were no medical societies or journals i…

  • Famine Mortality in Nineteenth-Century Japan

    Ann Bowman JannettaARTICLEPopulation Studies1992Cited by: 2

    Economic and demographic historians who have studied Japan's early modern period argue that preventive checks to fertility were the primary cause of Japan's stationary population in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and that the role of ‘positive’ checks was negligible. This paper presents evidence and a claim that mortality crises – famines in particular – also played an important role in checking population growth during this perio…

  • Two Centuries of Mortality Change in Central Japan

    Ann Bowman Jannetta, H Preston et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1991Cited by: 10

    Temple registers in a remote area of central Japan are used to produce a portrait of mortality change over a period of nearly two centuries. This portrait is most remarkable in showing a near-stability in life expectancy at birth between 30 and 40 years until the middle of the twentieth century. This stability was to some extent a product of offsetting trends. Infant and child mortality declined sharply after 1885, coinciding with a major nationa…

  • Epidemics and Mortality in Early Modern Japan

    Margaret Lock, Ann Bowman JannettaARTICLEJournal of Japanese Studies1988

    Ann Jannetta suggests that Japan's geography and isolation from major world trade routes provided a cordon sanitaire that prevented the worst diseases of the early modern world from penetrating the country before the mid-nineteenth century. Her argument is based on the medical literature on epidemic diseases, on previously unknown evidence in Buddhist temple registers, and on rich documentary evidence from contemporary observers in Japan.Original…
