Acupuncture
zhēn liáo fǎ
hari ryou hou
針療法 is one of two ways to write acupuncture in Chinese and Japanese.
The first character means "needle" or "pin". The second character means "to treat" or "to cure". The last character means "method" or "way".
針療法 is the only reasonable selection if your audience is Japanese. 針療法 is the formal way to express acupuncture in Chinese, so this version is universal in most of Asia (the best all around choice in most cases).
Acupuncture
zhēn shù
shinjutsu
針術 is a way to write acupuncture in Chinese.
The first character means "needle" or "pin".
The second character means "technique" or "method".
This is theoretically a Japanese word as well but not commonly used.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion
鍼灸 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja word for acupuncture-moxibustion.
