- The quiz is limited to eight questions and explicitly excludes diagnosis and recommendations about medicines.
Field notes
The homepage organizes material into four series: ancient Chinese medical history, introductory Kampo, meditation, and medicinal cooking. It also features entries on cinnamon bark (keihi), citrus peel (chinpi), licorice, and peony, alongside five formula stories. The eight-question quiz is expressly framed as general learning rather than diagnosis or a medicine recommendation. Short videos and character-led content are marked as in preparation.
