Jintan ({{lang|ja|仁丹}}) is the patented name of a popular Japanese medicine/candy developed by Morishita Hiroshi (1869-1943) and sold from the early twentieth century to today. Originally marketed as a cure-all for a number of ailments, Jintan is today thought of as a breath freshener only. Morishita Hiroshi was the eldest son of a priest at the Nunakuma-Shrine ({{lang|ja|沼名前神社}}, Numakuma jinja) in Fukuyama (Hiroshima prefecture). After his father died, Morishita went to Osaka and started to develop pharmaceutical products. He was also a pioneer of Japanese advertising.[1] Jintan has about 16 ingredients including cinnamon, mint, cumin, clove, and Fructus Amomi. The silver coated pellet-like pills were advertised from 1904 through the end of World War II. The name Jintan combines the Confucian term jin ({{lang|ja|仁}}, humaneness, benevolence) with the Daoist term tan ({{lang|ja|丹}}, cinnabar, pills containing cinnabar, pills) evoking the notion of longevity and health. PackagingDuring the Russo-Japanese War the packaging was re-designed as a Meiji period soldier in court dress with bicorne. Literature
