Japanese abdonminal diagnosis, or fukushin, is the diagnostic art develoepd in medieval Japan based on the classical writings by Zhang Zhongjing. Careful inspection of the Shanghan Zabing Lun reveals countless references to the abdominal conditions that could only have been diagnosed by actual palpation of the abdomen. The skill, however, never fully developed in China but flourished in Japan, Fukushin refers specifically to the Shanghan Lun style of abdominal diagnosis for the purpose of prescribing the Han dynasty formulas of Zhang Zhongjing.

Kumiko Shirai's Fukushin course is taught to match the abdominal patterns with formula methods and formula families. The course introduces diagnostic methods, which improves practitioners' clinical skills.
