Abstract
An inscription in the head of a Japanese sculpture was discovered by using a medical instrument, a gastro fibrescope. Without this instrument, the reading is only possible when the head is taken to pieces. Medical use and technical dates of the instrument are discussed. Finally, the method of using the gastroscope when examining Japanese sculpture is discussed. Conditions on the inside can be examined before restoring. It is suggested that a new type of fibrescope should be constructed especially for use in examining Japanese sculptural art.
