The beginning of Ball-form, Ganzai
Originally, the Japanese people used to take medicines by boiling herbs and drinking them as if they were tea.
The Ball-form, Ganzai is said to be a uniquely Japanese technique that has been handed down since ancient times.
In the third year of the Genroku era (1688-1704), when a feudal lord suddenly suffered from a stomachache, Masatoshi Maeda, the second lord of the Toyama domain, gave him a pill that he always had on hand, which immediately relieved the pain. This incident is said to be the beginning of Toyama’s renowned reputation for medicines between the feudal lords of various clans.
