==History== Born in 1879 to a family in Tokyo, [[Shinobu Ishihara]] began his education at the Imperial University where he attended on a military scholarship.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Whonamedit - dictionary of medical eponyms|url = http://www.whonamedit.com/doctor.cfm/2765.html|website = www.whonamedit.com|access-date = 12 August 2015}}</ref> Ishihara had just completed his graduate studies in ophthalmology in Germany when war broke out in Europe and World War I had begun. While holding a military position related to his field, he was given the task of creating a color blindness test. Ishihara studied existing tests and combined elements of the Stilling test, named after the German ophthalmologist [[Jakob Stilling]], with the concept of pseudo-isochromaticism to produce an improved, more accurate and easier to use test. {{medical citation needed|date=August 2015}}
