Summary

Our theme was the social relevance between patient with Hansen's disease and Leprosarium in Japan. Though the Jaoanese Prevention Law for  Leprosy in 1907 and uts revision 1931 was regarded as a symbol of infringment of patients himan rigfts, this law was able to manage the patient's welfare. We analyze this point at issue  from viewpoint of the relationship between this Law and "The detailed regulation for the enforcement of  it", and  study comparatively  on the  Leprocy-problem in Mainland and Okinawa Island.
