Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the publication style, history, and articles of Keijo Yakuho, which was published in colonial Korea.
Methods: Database searches of the Japanese and Korean cross-library search systems, the Pharmaceutical University Library, and the Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical Science. The memoirs on pharmacies in colonial Korea and the compiled materials on pharmacies in the Meiji and Taisho periods were examined to see if Keijo Yakuho was mentioned in the published statistical report materials.
Results: In the cross-search system of Japanese and Korean books it became clear that the reprint of Keijo Yakuho first published in 1908 was in fact obtained, and from the results of the research in the University Library and Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical Science, it was ascertained that the Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical Science held the Keijo Yakuho from 1937 to 1941. It was found that the publication style of Keijo Yakuho changed from monthly to twice a month, that the publisher was Kenjiro Doi, and that the articles covered a wide range of topics in administration, pharmacy, and the pharmaceutical industry.
