Oda Nobuyoshi


Oda Nobuyoshi was a dentist from Japan during the the Meiji Era (1868 - 1912) and was apparently a retainer for the Iga clan (famous ninja clan), although what that entailed remains a mystery. This photo was taken in 1880 when he was 20 years old.⁣
I did some digging and found that there was more information about his background from a Japanese website for his dental practice, which is still operational to this day!⁣
Oda Nobuyoshi was born in 1860 in Sukumo City and was a child of the Tosa clan. After studying under a dentist in Tokyo, he started his own dental practice in 1886 and eventually relocated to Kochi Prefecture on Japan's Shikoku Island in 1915 (This is the practice that is still operational today). Oda Nobuyoshi also served as chairman of the Kochi City Council and prefectural assembly. His wife, Take was a civil rights activist who wrote in newspapers, publishing editorials about women's suffrage. The photo above was provided by his great-grandson, Hidemasa.⁣
