Japan’s redesigned bank notes will be issued on July 3, 2024. Dr. Shibasaburo Kitasato, one of the founders of Terumo Corporation, has been chosen as the portrait of the new 1,000 yen note. He is a renowned medical scientist known as the "Father of Modern Medicine in Japan" for his achievements. He successfully cultivated the tetanus bacterium for the first time in the world in 1889 and discovered the tetanus antitoxin the following year. Terumo was founded in 1921 by a group of physicians and scientists, including Dr. Shibasaburo Kitasato, to meet the desperate need for production of quality thermometers in Japan. These words appeared in the founding prospectus: ❝As the health of the people of Japan depends on the spread of hygiene awareness, and as the health of the people is the key to national stability, this can be called an industry of national concern❞ The founder’s mindset lives on in the Terumo Group Mission: Contributing to Society through Healthcare. Terumo will continue to challenge the advancement of healthcare and the enhancement of patients' quality of life. Photograph courtesy of The Kitasato Institute Kitasato Shibasaburo Memorial Museum
