Ryutei Tatsuno lived around 1810 in Chiba, Japan.
Worried about dearth of good doctors in his district which was an out-of-the-way place, he determined to study medicine. He happened to fail to save a woman in difficult delivery. Being ashamed of his failure, he made up his mind to study midwifery and designed, clever instruments in easing difficult delivery.
