 The Nara period lasted for 84 years occurred approximately 1,300 years ago. During this period, Japan began to evolve into a nation that was governed by laws rather than by force, and its rulers strove to lead the nation on the basis of the principles of Buddhism and the rule of law. In the medical field too, laws were being established;2 main schools of thought in medical science existed during the Nara period―Buddhist medicine and Chinese medicine, which was influenced by Taoism.

 Completed at the end of the eighth century, Shoku Nihongi is a historical source that records the reign of 9 emperors from the year 697 AD to 788 AD. It is a very reliable historical source that includes valuable information on political changes that occurred during the Nara period, thus making it well worth reading. Traditionally, research on the history of medical science during the Nara period has been carried out using Shoku Nihongi;however, few researchers have shown interest in its references to psychiatric medicine and treatment. This study examined psychiatric medicine as it was practiced during the Nara period by focusing on Shoku Nihongi and Buddhist scriptures.

 The results included the following:stress was considered a cause of disease, and mental healing, was considered to be the most important treatment for the physical diseases.
