"Wish for others to be free of their suffering as yourself"

"Love others as you love yourself". This phrase stands for our greatest wish to be physicians who could attend patients with "sympathy" as their family, without sparing any effort for them. We also wish to be able to care about colleagues and to deal with them with respect. "Sympathy" includes feeling to those in depopulated area or in developing countries who are in need of medical care. It also stands for our determined will aiming to contribute to the world health through our medical researches.

Our motto is our wish to be such physicians with "sympathy". At the bottom of the tea can container, we put the logotype of our department. We designed the logotype from the letter "N" of "Ni-Naika (2nd Department of Internal Medicine in Japanese)" and the image of lungs, kidneys, digestive and circulatory organs.

The hydrangea drawn on the tea can container is the City Flower of Nagasaki. Its local name in Nagasaki is "Otaki-san bana" or "Otaki-flower". It is a beautiful flower named after "Otaki", wife of Dr. Siebold, a Dutch doctor who had introduced western medicine in Nagasaki. We consider it an apt flower for Nagasaki where modern medicine was firstly introduced.

This tea can container, which has the duplex hollow system, will not conduct the outside temperature into its contents and thus protect them from been damp. It assures you to keep the good flavor your tea.
