    AbstractIn August 1950, Japanese-American Joint Conference of Medical Educators was held in Tokyo and Dr Meyer Saklad of Rhode Island Hospital delivered his lectures on anesthesia. Prof. Shimizu of the Tokyo University who had just come back from the United States was asked to translate Dr Saklad's lectures. Dr Hideo Yamamura was compulsorily asked to attend the conference on behalf of the surgeons at the first Department of Surgery of the Tokyo University. With this conference as a trigger, many surgeons developed deep interests in anesthesia, particularly endotracheal anesthesia. This was followed by a rapid increase in anesthetic papers in surgical meetings. To solve this problem, an independent society for anesthesiology was established in May 1st, 1954. Prof. Shimizu played a dominant role in the foundation of Japan Society of Anesthesiology.
