Ōshima Seishōen Sanatorium, National Hansen's disease sanatorium on Ōshima Island, Takamatsu, Japan.
The medical facility extends across multiple buildings on Ōshima Island, providing specialized care and treatment services for individuals affected by Hansen's disease.
Established in 1909 as Prefectural Ōshima Leprosarium, the institution underwent several name changes before becoming National Sanatorium Ōshima Seishōen in November 1946.
The sanatorium maintains educational programs documenting the experiences of residents through artwork, music performances, and personal testimonies about life with Hansen's disease.
Located 8 kilometers from Takamatsu port, the sanatorium operates scheduled tours and informational sessions for visitors interested in learning about Hansen's disease history.
The facility introduced Patient Comfort Money in 1947, later renamed Patient Salary Money in 1971, aligning with the National Pension for handicapped individuals.
