Yakuzaishi is the name of a well-known journal first published in the Meiji period (1868-1912), which was established for the purpose of disseminating pharmaceutical information. There are two periods in the history of the Yakuzaishi. During the first period from 1889 to 1892, Tokyo Pharmaceutical Association published Yakuzaishi. During the second period from 1901 to 1926, Japan Pharmaceutical Association published it. Details concerning the contents of the publication are unknown. The author tried to make the table contents of the first term of the Yakuzaishi. Yakuzaishi provided all types of information, including drug merchandising, dispensing and information to pharmacists not only in Tokyo but also in the other parts of Japan. On its cover, one can find illustrations of the tools of the modern pharmacist in the early days including a pharmacy table, microscope, gas burner, western-style scale, etc. The pharmacy table contains illustrations of medicinal plants such as opium and digitalis. These illustrations helped to give the journal's readers, Japanese pharmacists, an idea of the new scientific advancements in pharmaceutical science. Yakuzaishi was published by Yakuzaishi sha (company).
