「伊東玄朴旧宅」佐賀県

九年庵がある山裾には魅力的な紅葉スポットが点在しています。伊東玄朴は佐賀の農家に生まれながらも１４歳で漢方医学を学び、さらに長崎にでてシーボルトに師事し蘭方医となり、鍋島藩医そして江戸幕府の将軍付きの医師となった立身出世の人物です。また日本で初めて種痘を行った医師として記録に名を残していますが、当時は牛痘種痘が本当に効果があるとは信じられていませんでした。しかし、玄朴の進言を聞き入れた鍋島藩10代藩主鍋島直正（なおまさ）が、我が子に種痘を打たせ成功。以後、鍋島藩は積極的に西洋医学を取り入れていきます。この後、玄朴は種痘予防を広めるため江戸の医者と協力し、神田に西洋医学所（現東大医学部）を創設します。

この「伊東玄朴旧宅」は九年庵公開期間中はあわせて無料で公開されています。九年庵に向かう坂道の石垣の上に伊東玄朴２１歳まで暮らした小さな茅葺きの武家屋敷とささやかな庭があります。質素ながらも美しい数寄屋の意匠がちりばめられ明治以降の建具に残された結霜ガラスなど見るべきものがたくさんあります。また部屋から望む紅葉は大変美しく、九年庵を訪れた際は是非あわせて巡っていただきたい場所です。

"Ito Geboku old house" Saga Prefecture

At the foot of the mountain where Kunenan Gardens is located, there are a few attractive spots for autumn leaves. Genboku Ito was born in a farmhouse in Saga, but studied Chinese medicine at the age of 14, and then went to Nagasaki to study under Siebold and became a Western doctor. He became a doctor of the Nabeshima clan, and then became a doctor with a shogun of the Edo Shogunate.

He has been recorded as the first doctor to vaccinate in Japan, but it was not believed that cowpox vaccination was really effective in Japan at that time. However, Nabeshima Naomasa, the teenage feudal lord of the Nabeshima feudal clan who believed in Genboku's suggestion, had his child vaccinate to set an example for the territories. Of course it was a success. Since then, the Nabeshima clan has actively adopted Western medicine.

After this, Genboku will work with doctors in Edo to spread vaccination prevention and establish a Western Medical School (currently the University of Tokyo School of Medicine) in Kanda, Tokyo.

This "Ito Genboku Old House" is open to the public for free during the opening period of Kunenan Gardens. On the stone wall on the slope to Kunenan Gardens is a small thatched samurai residence and a small garden where he lived until he was 21 years old. The mansion is small and simple, but it is studded with beautiful Sukiya designs and there are many things to see. The autumn leaves seen from the room are very beautiful, and it is a place you should definitely visit when you visit Kunenan Gardens.
