The Patients' Institutional Negotiation in the Management of the "Sagyou" in National Sanatorium Kuriu Rakusenen

　View Summary

In national leprosy sanatoriums in Japan, leprosy patients had to do various “works”(sagyou) to sustain their daily lives. This paper examines how the self-governance associations in leprosy sanatoriums sought to invent structures to improve the lives of patients by tracing the development of “works” during 1932-1960’s at the national leprosy sanatorium Kuriu Rakusenen, located in Gunma prefecture. “Works” had many meanings―labor, source of income, mutual aid, consolation, and more. Such intermingled meanings spawned conflict between patients and institutions. To solve the problems related to these “works,” the self-governance association in Kuriu Rakusenen tried to revise the institution of “works”. First, they incorporated so-called “service work”(houshi sagyou) into official works, demanding pay. Second, they sought consideration for patients’ physical states. They set standards for handicaps to avoid the risk that the physical condition of patients with more serious disabilities were exacerbated by their work. Using this case study, I propose a different viewpoint to topics of institution in Japanese folklore.

This paper examines the influence of medical practices such as diagnosis and drug therapy on the lives of former Hansen’s disease patients Japan.
After 1943, with the appearance of the leprostatic drug Promine, Hansen’s disease was transformed into a curable condition. As a result, medical treatment of the condition has undergone a major transformation internationally, greatly affecting patients’ lives. Looking at the experiences of patients who have received continuous treatment, however, the course of the disease is not linear, and in the face of uncertainty such as the possibility of “leprosy reaction” and recurrence, patients have had to undergo long-term medical treatment. In addition, after the treatment, aftereffects persist in the body of former patients, obscuring the line between the cured and the sick. This paper describes the life histories of a group of patients by focusing on these important changes. In doing so, I take a different approach from previous studies that have focused on Hansen’s disease as a purely social and cultural phenomenon.
The following four analytic points emerge through the description of the five case studies. (1) The understanding of diseases and the body, and their interpretations by patients, are inseparable from medical practices. (2) New medical treatments make the recovery process increasingly complicated, and at the same time more irregular than the simple linear model (suggested by notions, such as “patient role”). (3) The gap between medical knowledge, and the “real” bodies of the patients emerge in various medical practices of diagnosis and treatment. (4) As a result, a gap emerges between the medical cure and the cure demanded by patients.
The intertwining of various materials and practices obstructs the understanding of the body-as-a-whole and at the same time reconstructs the patient's disease as well as the framework of treatment. This paper therefore argues that to understand the cure for Hansen’s disease we should neither reduce it to a subjective problem of the patient nor to the objective problem based on medical knowledge, but rather account for the interactive process of patients and practices.
