Hatoyama Ichiro 1883-1959

하토야마 이치로

Hatoyama,  statesman. A graduate of the law school of Tokyo Imperial University, he was first elected to the lower house of the Japanese legislature in 1915. Hatoyama was education minister in the Inukai and Saito cabinets (1931-34). A leader of the prewar Seiyukai party, he organized the conservative postwar Liberal party and became its first president. In a series of moves he formed the Democratic party and became prime minister, deposing Shigeru Yoshida and forming three successive cabinets (1954-56).

Hatoyama was made a Mason in March 1955 in Tokyo.

Hayashi Tadasu, Count.  1850-1913

하야시 타다수

He studied English with Dr Hepburn in Yokohama, who was responsible for the Romanization of the Japanese language, he later went to study at University College, London, but had to return on the downfall of the Tokugawa government, and joined the Tokugawa forces but was captured and imprisoned in Tenma-cho, Nihonbashi.   Only for the intervention of a British diplomat and Mrs Hepburn his life was saved.   In 1889 he was appointed the Govenor of Hyogo Prefecture, becoming vice-minister of Foreign Affairs in 1891.  In 1885 he was appointed Minister to China, then in 1887, Minster to Russia, eventually being sent to England as Ambassador to the Court of St. James, signing the Anglo-Japanese Accord in 1902.  In Tokyo in June 1913 he was thrown from a rickshaw and broke his thigh; he had his leg amputated at Juntendo Hospital but never fully recovered and died July 1913.

He was very close to Fukuzawa Yukichi, the founder of Jiji Press and Keio University

Hayashi was made a Mason in Empire Lodge, England, in May 1903. 
In 1905 he was honoured as Senior Grand Warden of the United Grand Lodge of England

Higashikuni Naruhiko, Prince   1887-1990

히가시구니 나루히코 왕자

Higashikuni served as a general in the Imperial Army and was the only member of the Imperial family to head a Cabinet,  the Cabinet lasted only 54 days, having been formed at the request of Emperor Showa in August 1945.  His administration saw the demobilization of the Japanese Army, the signing of Japan's surrender on the USS Missouri and the arrests of war criminals.

He was born the ninth son of Prince Asahiko of Kuninomiya.   Throughout his life he was known for his eccentric behaviour, leaving Japan in 1923 to study in France for seven years and refusing to return to attend his son's funeral.  He opened grocery stores in Tokyo, but the business eventually failed.   In the 1930's he established a short-lived Shinto cult, Higashikunikyo, setting himself up as its figurehead.  He died in 1990 aged 102.

Higashikuni was made a Mason June 1957, in Yuai Lodge, Tokyo.

Nishi Amane 1829-1897

니시 아마네

Nishi was an academic during the Meiji period, translating Western books on philosophy, psychology and law.  On his return from Holland in 1865, he was appointed professor of International Law at Kaiseisho, which later became the Department of Jurisprudence of Tokyo Imperial University.  Afterwards he served as President of Tokyo Academy and in 1889 he was appointed to the now defunct House of Peers (Kizoku'in).  He was made a baron in 1897, two days before his death on January 31sr, 1897.  He is often regarded as the father of modern philosophy*, introducing into Japan the ideas of Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill.  He is also known by the name Nishi Shunsuke, on coming of age he changed his name as was the custom then, dropping the last character of his given name, and pronouncing the remaining character as 'Amane'.

Nishi was made a Mason in Leyden, Holland, in 1864

Sawada Kyoichi    1936-1970

사와다 교이치

Born in Aomori City, Japan.  In 1961, aged 25, Sawada became a photographer for United Press International (UPI) in Tokyo.  As the Vietnam war escalated, Sawada repeatedly requested an assignment there, only to be refused on the grounds that the conflict was an "American war."  Eventually, in 1965, Sawada took a leave of absence from UPI and struck out to cover the conflict on his own. Nine months later, he was back on the UPI payroll as a Vietnam correspondent and had won both the World Press Photo Contest and in 1966 a Pulitzer Prize for his work. That was quickly followed by the Grand Prize of the World Press Photo contest.   After his death in Laos, Cambodia, he received the Robert Capa Gold Medal of the Overseas Press Club.

Sawada was made a Mason in Aomori Lodge, Japan, in December 1960

Tsuda Mamichi, Baron   1829-1903

추다 마미치

Tsuda Mamichi was born Tsuda Shinichiro in 1829, changing his name to Masamichi on coming of age and later shortening his given name to Mamichi.   Tsuda, together with Nishi Amane, was sent to Holland by the Meiji Government to study Western languages, law and economics, the economically ignorant government was forced to rely on scholars for economic input.  This was a theme that was constant in the period immediately following the opening of Japan to the world in 1853.  Almost instantly, the government saw a need for a scholarly dissection of Western ideas. In 1855, the government opened a school in Edo, with the sole purpose of training Japanese scholars to translate foreign languages. Known from   1856-1862 as the Bansho Shirabesho (Institute for the Study of Barbarian Writings), the school first taught Dutch, then later incorporated English, French, and German into its curriculum .  This particular institution did not teach economics, but numerous members of its staff (most notably Kanda Takahira and Tsuda Mamichi) were the first translators and propagators of Western Economic thought. Additionally, this school laid the foundation for other government-funded schools such as the first Japanese university, Tokyo Imperial University, founded in 1877.  Tokyo University, unlike many earlier institutions, included economics in its curriculum from its conception The translation of texts alone, however, was not sufficient to educate the Japanese on such a complex matter as Western economics. To garner first hand knowledge on the subject, numerous samurai (who made up virtually all of the Meiji scholars) traveled abroad to hear lectures and attend classes on economics. Most notable were Kanda Takahira, Nishi Amane and Tsuda Mamichi. Together, Amane and Mamichi traveled to Holland in 1872 to study economics under Simon Vissering. Upon their return, the two traveling scholars founded the "1873 Society" in collaboration with other proponents of Western thought. The society published its scholarly debates in a journal, entitled "Meiroku Zasshi". This journal would later come to play a significant role in the acceptance, or lack thereof, of certain capitalist theories.

Tsuda Mamichi wrote "The Distinction between Husbands and Wives" and "On Destroying Prostitution" among other works.

Tsuda was made a Mason in Leyden, Holland, in 1864   aged 35
