Image of the Week: An 18th century Japanese anatomical atlas

This fascinating image of the brain comes from Kaishi Hen, an anatomical atlas published in Kyoto, Japan in 1772. The text includes a multitude of woodcut illustrations by Aoki Shukuya resulting from the experiments and findings of Kawaguchi Shinnin, one of the founders of the Japanese anatomy.
