It explores the interplay of vehicles and networks in moving this live substance while accommodating its spatio-temporal characteristics. At the most basic level, the virus was carried within a particular type of bodily secretion--either fresh lymph or scabs. These secretions were able to cross long distances only when inserted into another vehicle--either a glass or tin container or the body of a child, which in turn had to travel by ship, on horseback, or on foot. Finally, various types of networks--ties between physicians, relationships between the Tokugawa shogunate and the domains, and trade relations between Japan and other states--determined where, when, and how the virus entered the Japanese islands and traveled from Nagasaki to Fukui.
