Dear Students and Friends
I am going to restart the Blog.
I was supposed to be writing the Blog daily to the students to guide them and give them what they should do for homework.
I was not as easy as I thought I could initially do it.
However, with an encouragement and a gift of Air Mac from the Most Respectable Sir Kermit Carvell, I think he deserves to be given a title, I am trying to restart writing this Blog.
There should be some kind of division of Blogs with other two Blogs. However, at the moment I will try with this for a month or so.
Today I took the Legal history of Japan and Medieval European History at Keio University Hiyoshi.
I start from 8:45 and ends at 5:30 pm, of course there is a lunch break.
I found out that Hatoyama's great grandfather went to Columbia and Yale with Ph. D. in law
after the initial education at Tokyo Imperial University in 1870's to 1880's. His American university education gave him a chance of getting the first law professorship at Tokyo Imperial University,
but he had a fight with the administration and became the first Japanese lawyer.
If he had stayed in the university , Japanese legal structure will be completely different with what we have today which is basically based on the German legal structure. It would have been Anglo-American legal structure.
Remember Japanese put a lot of money and energy in educating their young elite to modernize when other Asians were not interested yet.
And I see many of these young elites were extremely intelligent and mastered the language and mastered the knowledge abroad in surprisingly short time.
