This exhibit introduces the wisdom and future of Japan's pharmaceutical industry, which was nurtured in Doshomachi, along with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma's 345-year history. The company was founded in 1678 (Enpo 6) when the first Tanabeya Gobei opened a store in the south end of Tabeyabashi (now Joyasubashi) in Tosahori, Osaka, manufacturing and selling the compound drug "Tanabeya Shikenyaku" as his family business. For over 300 years since then, the company has contributed to the health of people around the world through the creation of pharmaceuticals. The Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Museum, which you can visit, has gathered together historical materials on the company's corporate activities, which have always been ahead of the times and have continued to provide new drugs that are useful to society, and the frontier spirit that has allowed it to overcome countless difficulties.
