1) The document discusses factors that influence tongue diagnosis results and compares Chinese and Toyohari tongue diagnostic models. 2) It finds that the Toyohari model, which examines the right side of the tongue, identifies lung-related findings more frequently than the Chinese model, which examines the front third of the tongue. 3) The Toyohari model would therefore be more useful for Toyohari-style diagnosis compared to the Chinese model.

- 29. Comparison of Chinese tongue diagnostic models with a tongue model proposed by the Toyohari Association. Which of these models would probably be most useful for the Toyohari style?
- 30. Chinese Models
- 31. Toyohari Model
- 32. Findings in Lung area using the Chinese diagnostic model two parallel fissures in the Lung area contracted front third of the tongue swelling in the front third of the tongue fissures in the Chinese Lung area depth in the front third of the tongue
- 33. Findings in Lung area using the Toyohari diagnostic model irregular right border rolled right border flaccid right border swollen right border clear right border tooth marks on right side retracted right side right side more swollen than left fissures on the right border

- 35. Conclusion There is a higher frequency of findings on the right side of the tongue in the Toyohari Lung area than in the Chinese location. Thus, the Toyohari model would probably be more useful than the Chinese tongue diagnosis.
- 36. The research is still going on … There are specific findings for each meridian. However, is it really possible to define a single tongue pattern for each Sho?
- 37. This is a difficult question and not one easy to answer.
