A Medical History of Harbin: Part Two (Harbin Municipal Hospital) and Part Three (Harbin Medical University), by Ikuji Narita, 1942
A Medical History of Harbin — Part Two: Harbin Municipal Hospital; Part Three: Harbin Medical University, 1942
A rare scholarly offprint of 1942 compiling a medical history of Harbin, authored by Ikuji Narita, professor at Harbin Medical University. The present volume gathers Part Two, on the Harbin Municipal Hospital, and Part Three, on Harbin Medical University and related matters — a documented account of the institutions, figures, and development of modern medicine in one of Northeast Asia's most important cities.
Issued as a separate offprint from the university's institutional journal, the work runs to 117 pages (including 24 pages of contemporary advertisements) in A5 format. A bibliographic note records that Part One, treating learned societies and other matters, appeared in the second number of the same journal, published in 1942 (Kangde 9). Offprints of this kind were produced for a narrow scholarly readership and seldom survive intact, making this a genuinely uncommon primary source.
For historians of medicine, of Harbin, and of the wider Manchurian region, it is a substantial and specific documentary record — a work of clear appeal to collectors of East Asian historical and medical materials.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
