About Osaka University
OGATA Koan was a competent scholar of Western medicine which he had studied in Edo and Nagasaki. Although he hailed from Ashimori-han, Bicchu (currently Ashimori, Kita-ku, Okayama), in 1838 he came to Kawara-machi, Osaka, and built a private school and clinic called Tekijuku. Seven years later, he moved Tekijuku to Kasho-machi (currently, 3 Kitahama, Chuo-ku, Osaka) where much of the original school building still remains. For the next 24 years, Tekijuku was a center for vaccination research and cholera treatment. Koan established "Jotokan" in 1846, which became the first smallpox vaccination institution recognized by the Edo government in 1858.
