type:text

Dr. Kunihiko Hashida, went to Strassburg in Germany (now Strasbourg, France) to study neurophysiology shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. He was captured and sent to the jail in Esslingen on the Necker. He was forced to be in very hard and dirty work. Thereafter he was transferred to Switzerland and able to study for some three years. After the end of the War he returned back to Japan and in 1922 he was appointed the third Japanese physiology professor at Tokyo University and in 1937 the director of Daiichi Kotogakko (the 1. national high school). In 1940 he was appointed as Minister of Culture and Education. In 1943 he was discharged from the minister by the Prime Minister Tojo, because he could hardly accepted and followed the policy and/or possibly philosophy of the cabinet. He committed suicide after the end of the War when US-military policemen came his home to fetch him. As neurohysiologist he could have many excellent successors such as Prof. Azuma, Prof. Katuki, Prof. Ito and Prof. Masao Suzuki. I was one of pupils of Prof. Suzuki.
