One of the five copperplate engravings from Willem ten Rhijne’s De Acupunctura (1683), a much-annotated translation of a Chinese acupuncture manual. Ten Rhijne seems to have found a copy of a Chinese acupuncture text in Dejima and his goal was to translate it, but no one on the island could go directly from Chinese to Latin, so he organised a relay. Iwanaga Sōko (1634–1705), a student of Genshō, translated the Chinese into Japanese; Shōdayū Motogi then rendered that into Dutch. Finally, Ten Rhijne translated the Dutch into Latin. In the process, no little accuracy was lost. (Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de santé)
