See also essays by Noma [1988] Takagi [1989] [1991] [1993], Saito [1991] [1993a][1993b] and Oguma [1994]. For a consolidation of various trends in this research, see Suzuki, Matsubara and Sakano [1995]. On population policy between the 1910s and the 1940s, see Hiroshima [1980] [1981]. These texts address among other topics the activities of the Japanese Society of Health and Human Ecology, whose leadership included Nagai (1876-1958), and the enactment of the "National Eugenic Law" that was passed in 1940 and later led to the enactment of the "Eugenic Protection Law" in 1948 (see Chapter 9). On the eugenic ideas that were disseminated at "public hygiene fairs," see Tanaka [1994]. The sterilization of lepers is also discussed in Sawano [1994:141ff]. Regarding the penetration of the concept of heredity, see Kawamura [1990:96ff]. (For a list of texts by Suzuki not cited above see the arsvi website)."(Tateiwa[1997→2016])
