Abstract

Hansen's disease (also known as leprosy) is a chronic infection that is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It predominantly affects the peripheral nerves, skin, eyes, and nasal mucosa, Following the development of effective treatment with diaphenylsulfone followed by rifampicin, and clofazimine since 1940s, Hansen's disease has been eradicated in Japan. However, the longstanding stigma surrounding this disease, exacerbated partly by forced isolation and other regulations introduced in 1930s, has delayed the abrogation of these regulations. The influence of two Japanese films, namely Kojimanoharu (no English title; “Spring in Islets”) (1940) and Casle of Sand (1974), inspired by these events and addressing the concerns regarding this disease, are discussed.
