The focus of this study is the Nakatomi Memorial Medicine Museum established in 1995, including the historical background and items on display. In the first section, we summarize the history of the medicine patent system in the Tosu area of Saga Prefecture. There are 130,000 items displayed, which are divided into three categories, such as the Alban Atkin Pharmacy including 20,000 medicines and many prescriptions, specimens of crude medicines including plants, animals and minerals, and patented medicinal goods. It became evident that the items should be investigated in more detail and carefully maintained from now on.
