Around 1930, there occurred the "No Leprosy Patients in Our Prefecture Movement" and the Government intended to hospitalize all leprosy patients in sanatoriums.
Its mission was to systematically eliminate leprosy, (Hansen's disease), a readily transmissable, previously incurable, chronic infectious disease caused by M. leprae, from each prefecture in Japan.
