May 31, 1827: Japanese doctor Kusumoto Ine was born in Nagasaki. The daughter of courtesan Kusumoto Taki and German physician Philipp Franz von Siebold, she was the first female doctor of Western medicine in Japan. Her father was banished from Japan in 1829 but managed to provide for Ine and her mother and arranged for his students and associates to care for them. She studied in various parts of Japan under numerous teachers, and her reputation grew after she became a doctor of Western medicine, winning the patronage of the feudal lord Date Munenari.
