Refined in Japan over 1400 years
East Asian medicine was brought to Japan from China in the 6th century. During its 1400-year history in Japan, Japanese physicians refined and created techniques and ideas that differed from those of the Chinese. Japanese techniques are often gentler and place a greater emphasis on the precision of acupuncture points.
Acupuncture is recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare and the Government of British Columbia.
