Kurimoto Masayoshi

Kurimoto Masayoshi is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kurimoto Masayoshi rather than just read about it. In short: Kurimoto Masayoshi (栗本昌臧; August 22, 1756 – May 3, 1834) was a Japanese physician, naturalist, zoologist and entomologist. He was physician to the 11th Tokugawa shōgun, Tokugawa Ienari, and lectured on materia medica.

Key takeaways

Kurimoto Masayoshi belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kurimoto Masayoshi to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kurimoto Masayoshi from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kurimoto Masayoshi (栗本昌臧; August 22, 1756 – May 3, 1834) was a Japanese physician, naturalist, zoologist and entomologist. He was physician to the 11th Tokugawa shōgun, Tokugawa Ienari, and lectured on materia medica. In 1811 he compiled 3-volume work entitled "Senchu-fû", roughly translated is "Thousand Insects Manuscript", which is an illustrated book of detailed insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and invertebrates known in Japan. In 1826 Kurimoto met Philipp Franz von Siebold and they worked together. Kurimoto supplied Siebold drawings of crustaceans, including an illustration of Squilla maculata (a Mantis shrimp), which was used by Wilhem de Haan in "Fauna Japonica".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kurimoto Masayoshi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kurimoto Masayoshi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kurimoto Masayoshi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kurimoto Masayoshi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kurimoto Masayoshi

In research: Kurimoto Masayoshi appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kurimoto Masayoshi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kurimoto Masayoshi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1756 births, 1834 deaths, Entomologist stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kurimoto Masayoshi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
