< p> This film is adapted from Akira Yoshimura's novel "Snow to the Flowers", set in the late Edo period. It tells the true story of a folk doctor who fought against smallpox, a disease that broke out every few years and claimed many lives. Doctor Ryosuke Kasawara of the Fukui Domain brought effective smallpox prevention methods from a foreign country and sought advice from Western doctor Tetsuya Hino in Kyoto. He also donated his personal property to bring smallpox vaccines to Fukui. For the success of the prevention method, he will not give up even when encountering all kinds of difficulties. With the support of his wife Chiho, Ryoichi continued to fight against the epidemic. In this film, by depicting the actual figure of a doctor who truly wants to save Japan and stands up, disregarding his own interests and contracting smallpox, it shows what the hope of life is. < /p>[Collapse]
