I served in the Japanese naval surgeon from 1942 to 1945 after my graduation from Tokyo University School of Medicine at 1941. I wrote a first medical article entitled "A interesting case of hydronephrosis" in 1943.
I engaged surgical research, especially in cardiovascular fields at 2nd Department of Surgery, Tokyo University Hospital from 1945 to 1957. There are several published papers, one of which is about studies on arterial Homo-and hetero grafts preserved in alcohol (Arch.
