This is the first complete English translation of Japanese acupuncture book, Shinkyu Gokuhi Sho with all the beautiful illustrations from the original text and Hyungsuk Choi’s annotations. Shinkyu Gokuhi Sho was published in 1778 by a Japanese doctor, Kimura Taichu (木邨太仲). The author says that the acupuncture technique in this book is originated from Kim Duk-bang (金德邦). This technique had been passed down to the family of Tanaka Tomoyoshi (田中知新) secretly, and the author collected and edited the resources and published as a book. The techniques in the book became a foundation of Unkaishiryu, so this book has both historical and clinical value for acupuncture researches and practitioners.Regarding the title of this book, it was introduced to Europe in 1825 by Jean Baptiste Sarlandière under the French title, 'Traité inédit de l’acupuncture et du Moxa chez les Japonais' , which means 'The unpublished teaching of Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion' in English. Japanese 'Shinkyu Gokuhi Sho' literally means 'The ultimate secret book of acupuncture and moxibustion'. In English, it was introduced as 'Absolute secrets of Acupuncture and moxibustion' in NAJOM (2001, vol 8, No.21) and also as 'Outline of the Deepest Secrets of Acupuncture and moxibustion' by Wolfgang Michel in his article,' Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Europe from the 16th to 18th Centuries'.
