Shiroi Kyotō (白い巨塔; literally "The White Tower") is a 1965 novel by Toyoko Yamasaki. It has been adapted into a film in 1966 and then twice as a television mini-series in 1978 and 2003. The 1966 film was entered into the 5th Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Silver Prize.
The story contrasts the life of two doctors, former classmates and now both assistant professors at Naniwa University Hospital in Osaka. The brilliant and ambitious surgeon Goro Zaizen stops at nothing to rise to a position of eminence and authority, while the friendly Shuji Satomi busies himself with his patients and research.
