    1929 Minobu JinkyoenOhtani states that in 1929, the second national meeting on leprosy was convened by the prefectural Government of Osaka. At this meeting, Rev Ryumyo Tsunawaki announced that , as long as leprosy was detected in the early stages and treated, it was difficult for a person to identify a patient having leprosy even if he or she was living with the patient. He also clearly stated that when detected and treated at an early stage, treating the patient to the point at which it would be possible to consider him or her cured was not at all difficult.
