Smallpox quarantine houses in 18th and 19th century Amakusa Islands, Kyusyu, Japan.
| In Takahama of Amakusa Islands from 1807 to 1808, 150 people contracted smallpox, and 57 of them died. The only way to bring the outbreak under control was to quarantine the contracted people. Since the middle of the 18th century, Takahama had a quarantine house in a hidden mountainous place, and also another one within its settlements. Historical sources on those houses show the name, sex, and age of all the suffered people, and also their family relation. This paper will investigate, how long and in what way the smallpox disease suffered the village people in their family formation.
