A MONTHLY JOURNAL OF
ORIENTAL ART
The KOKKA has stood, and will
always stand, unrivalled in the quality
of the pieces presented, as well as in
the craftsmanship shown in their re-
production. Especially in chromoxy-
lographic art no such triumphs have
ever been scored as by the engravers
and pressmen in the KOKKA 'S ser-
vice. Not merely in point of beauty
of finish, but likewise in fidelity to the
originals, such colour prints as enrich
the pages of our journal are absolutely
unsurpassed. The KOKKA was at first
a sealed book to Occidental readers so
far as its letterpress was concerned,
which fact no doubt detracted much
from their interest in it. But com-
mencing with No. 133 a special edition
was issued partially in English, and
continued up to No. 181. The growing circulation among foreign subscribers,
however, has finally called forth the present edition with all the reading mat-
ter in English. We hope that the KOKKA in its new form may find a place
in the home of every lover of art in foreign communities.

The first edition of "Who's Who in Japan" lefi
much to be desired from many points of view and I am
not claiming that this ivolume is complete or that it, i^
free feom defects. In the nature of things a work of
kind can only progress slowly towards perfection, 'and ma-
naging and editing it quite alone under difficult circum!!-
tances it is beyond my power to bring forth ti-' perfect
volume so early.. . . ; ■ . , •• .. ,
Regarding foreign residents it was niy first intention
to; put as many as possible of their names in a directory
for public interests, apart from the standard of qualifications
under which the Japanese names were : chosen. Y"et the
necessary informations for the biographies of the majority
were not procurable. Consequently it is unavoidal:}le that
some of the prominent persons eligible for inclusion in a
work of this kind have been unfortunately omitted. In
reference to the names of Koreans, though - we have the
necessary materials for them I came to the ronclnsion it
was not very important to insert their names in this valu-
me. If, however, it is found necessary they will be inclu-
ded in future editi<ms.
I am deeply grateful to those who have kindly fm'-
nished valuable information for this work.

Inouye. Kaoru (^ _h ®),
Marquis, Councillor of State
(with ,the special privileges
accorded to a minister of
State), Member of the House
of Peers ; d. the 28 th day of.
the nth m. of the 6th j^. 'of
Tempo (1835) in the province
- of Nagato ; 2nd s. of Mitsu-
suk^e Inouye,; samurai of-
Choshij clan ; m'.. Take-ko,
sister of Baron Tadazumi
Nitta.' Emerging from-, his
native province,, at the end
of the. Tokugawa govern-
ment, the Marquis, who was
then known 'by the name of
Monta Inouye, in company,
with his elder brother Iku-
taro Inouye, went up to
Kyoto and joining there a
group of partriots from vari-.
ous clans earnestly advocated
the principle of exclusion
of toreigners. On hearing
that the government . of
Tokugawa ' wa;s ■ going to
sanction the' construction of
foreign Legations at Goten-
yama, Takanawa, Tokyo, h-e
and his bosom friend the
late Prince Ito lodged a
strong protest against it and
when they found that the
construction of the English
Legation at that place had
become an accomplished fact
as a .last . resort set the
building on fire- on the night
of the 1 2th of .Dec. 1862.
Later their "anti-foreign ideas
reached a climax and wishr
ing to put them . into effect
they, with Yozo Yamao and
others, went to Yokohama to
buy arms and ammunition • to
prepare- for. the i execution of
their plans. In the mean-
time, the Marquis, thinking
[ 2SI. ]
Ino
that the execution of the
principle of exclusion of
foreigners could not success-
fully be executed without a
knowledge ^{ the actual con-
ditions of foreign powers,
repaired to Nagasaki and
fortunately managing to get
on board a British schooner
then lying in' the , harbour
was finally taken to England.
On reaching London, he
instantly perceived the ab-
surdity of his anti-foreign
ideas and soon became a
zealoiis admirer of wei^tem
civilization. He remained
there for about a year, when
learning from the London
Times that the British squa-
dron was going to bombard
the port, of Shimonoseki he
immediately left London and
returned home in June, 1864.
He at once presented a
memorial to his feudal lord,
arguinjT the advantageousness
of making peace with foreign
powers. But, though this
memorial had a favourable
effect, he became an object
of hatred to his former com-
rades who were still holding
strong anti-foreign ideas. 0«
one occasion he was waylaid
by some of them and severely
wounded in the , face arid
back. Subsequeiifly he took
an active parts in. the battles
of Choshu and Fiishimi,
Soon after the Restoration,
he was made Councillor of
state and then Minister of
Finance which post he resigned
in 1873 owing to the difference
of opinion between himself
and the other Ministers of
State in connection ' with the
so called Seikanron (a mo-
tion to send a punitive army
X6 Korea). In 1875, he was
appointed a member of the
Senate ; was sent to England
to investigate the system of
public accounts in 1878; be-
came Minister for Industry
and, in the following year.
Minister of Foreign affairs in

at Seoul in 1884; Court

[ 273 ]
Ish
Tokyo and studied there for
a year ; on returning to his
native place was arrested for
a political offense and for
forty days was imprisoned.
Later, he suffered from sick-
ness and was converted by
his Christian physician. He
then went to Okayama and
entered the Public Medical
School there. While study-
ing at school he was assist-
ing an oi'phan. He made
up his mind to give his life
to orphanage work while pre-
paring for his final examina-
tions. Against his friends'
advice, he burnt all medical
books and notes, and organ-
ized the Okayama Orphan
Asylum. During tlie last
twenty five years has met many
difficulties and hardships in
bringing the institution to its
pi-esent -SotirisMng condition.
The orphanage is now well
known allover Japan as a mod-
el institution of its kind. Many
children have been educated
in this orphanage. His man-
puku (full stomach) principle
is very famous. It is said
that he will present the
institution to the Imperial
Household Dep't when in
a satisfactory position. He
is widely known as Oka-
yama Saig5. To everyone's
great surprise and regret, he
is suffeiring from an incurable
disease and his doctor only
gives him a couple of years
to live. That God may
spare his life for a longer
period for the sake of suffer-
ing humanity is the wish of
all. Address : Okayama

ing Squadron ; promoted to be
a full Admiral, Nov. 19 10.
The Admiral rendered distin-
guished services in the late
war -as Commander-in-Chief
of the 2nd Squadron; after re-
peated disappointment he at
last found and sank the Rurik-
and seriously damaged the
Gromoboi and the Rossia in
an encounter, off the eastern
coast of Korea on Aug. 14th
in 1905 ; and humanely saved:
the 613 Russian sailors who
were struggling among the
waves. He ordered his men,
it is said, to exercise the ut-
most care in rescueing them,
together with some birds and
other ci'eatures floating on the
sea. When the transport Kin-
shumaru with the soldiers of
the 9th Company of the 37-
th Regiment of Infantry was
■ destroyed by the Rossia and
the transport HitacJiimartt with -
the men of the 2nd Body Guard
Reserve ist Infantry Regi- .
ment was sunk by the Ruiik
off Okinoshima, causing the
blood of the nation to ' rise to
fever heat, such was the de-
sire for revenge that some fa-
natics even presented daggers
to the Admiral to commit
/laral'in for Bushido's sake,
thinking that the sinking of
the ships were due to the Ad-
miral's failure to catch the
Russian war-ships. But his
final glorious victory over the
Vladivostock squadron and
magnanimous conduct towards
the beaten enemy restored his
Kain
i[ '334 J
reputation. He also took an
important part in the Battle
of the Japan Sea. Reward

in the late war distinguished
himself as Commander of the
3rd Squadron; the following
is the translation of the of-
ficial report from the then
Vice-Admiral to the Imperial
Headquarters :— " The enemy
at Port Arthur, after having
on the night of the ist Janu-
ary proposed capitulation to
,our Investing Army, caused
his warships and other ves-
sels in the harbour to be
[ 35^ ]
Eat
destroyed and the Sevastopol
and Otvazny, which had been
for several days lying out-
side th& port, to be sunk.
Further, six destroyers es-
caped towards the offing un-
der cover of night. Part of
our blockading squadron gave
chase, but they failed to
overtake the vessels of the
enemy. The Akitsustt (Com-
mander F. Yamaya) with a
destroyer flotilla (Commander
H. Fujimoto) and a torpedo-
boat flotilla (Commander C.
Kasama), and Rear-Admiral
Togo, Commander of the
Third Squadron with the
Chiyoda (Captain K. Mura-
kami), the Tatsuta (Com-
mander T. Kamaya) and a
destroyer flotilla (Command-
er K. Sudzuki) pursued the
enemy's vessels to Chefoo
and Kiaochow respectively,
causing them to take refuge
in those harbours, where
they were dismantled. Thus
the enemy's entire fleet has
been destroyed — a - result, I
am convinced, secured thro-'
' ugh the August virtue of H.
M. the Generalissimo and as-
sisted in no small measure
by the cooperation of our

to, a samurai of Kanazawa;
adopted into the Nakahashi
family: m. Etsu, adpt. d. oi
Demzaburo Fujita. Ediic:
studied law, politics, and politi-
cal economy at the Tokyo Im-
perial Univei'sity. When he
graduated from the Universi-
ty in 1886, he became Judge,
but soon after he was transfer-
red to administrative service
and contributed to the deve-
lopment of industry as Coun-
cillor of the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce.
In 1889 he was appointed
Councillor of the Bureau of
Legislation and visited En-
gland, France, Germany, Au-
stria, Italy, Russia and Nor-
th America as the Commis-
sioner engaged in the inves-
tigation of the Parliamentaiy
system in Europe and Ame-
rica. When he returned t6
Japan in the following year
after investigating the condi-
tions of the constitutional gov-
ernment of the above men-
tioned countries, the First
Parliament of the Empire wa;S
about to be opened and he
was appointed Secretary
of the House of Represent-
atives and contributed not a
little to the work. In 1891
he was transferred to the De-
partment of Communications
[ 6i5 J
Nak
and after serving as the Di-
rector of Accounts Bureau and
the Director of Inspection
Bureau, at last was advanced
to the Directorship of Rail-
way Bureau. In 1898 he be-
came the President of the O-
saka Shosen Kaisha at the re-
quest of the businessmen ofO-
saka. At that time the economic
circles of the empire were panic
stricken as the consef[uence
of the Japan-China War and
various industrial companies
were brought to the brink of
ruin. Especially was the car-
lying trade badly depressed.
Hereupon he carried out va-
rious reforms -in the admini-
stration of the company and
also endeavoured to increase
its income. As the i-esult the
business of the company gradu-
ally thrived. He also regulat-
ed the old service lines and
at the same time opened new
lines. Thus reforming the
administration of business on
the one hand and amalgama-
ting on the other, with others
also engaged in coast naviga-
tion, the business of the com-
pany was almost doubled.
Since passing through the Ru-
sso-Japanese War, the founda-
tion of the company has be-
come more solid and business
has gone on expanding. At
present the company's capital
amounts to 16,500,000 yen,
besides debentures for 5,800,
000 yen. Steamship services
include, Japan, Formosa, Sou-
thern China, North - China,
Manchuria, Corea,"^ Vladivo-
stock, Saghalien and America.
The fleet of the company con-
sists of 125 ships aggregating
to_ 171,798 tons. When the
Uji-River Electric Conipany
was established in 1906, he
was chosen President. The
object of the company is to
generate 60,000 horse power,
utilizing the water of Biwa,
the largest lake of Japan, and
to supply electric power to
Osaka, Kyoto and other large
towns in the vicinity. The
capital of the company is 12,
500,000 yen. The plans for
the work are the largest of
their kind in Japan. 'Publica-

fs), Count, born Feb. 1838

He was brought up by a wise
and virtuous mother who be-
came a widow when he was
eight years old® and eiitered
the Kodo-kwan, a clan-school,
where Chinese classics were
taught.- Subsequently he stud-
ied Dutch, English and Math-
ematics from Englishmen at
Nagasaki. During the Res-
toration he advocated the
abolition of the feudal system
and establishment, of constitu-
tional government. On the
reorganization of the govern-
ment under the Mikadq he
became chief assistant in the
'department of foreign affairs,
and subsequently secretary for
the interioi- and finance, and
president of the Japanese com-
mission at the Vienna Ex-
hibition. For about ten years,
i.c., 1873 — 1881 he had charge
of the Treasury, first as Vice-
Minister and then as full Min-
ister ; this post he had to
i-esign because his memorial
urging the Government to.
introduce representative gov-
ernment was rejected by liis
colleagues.' He then formed
the Progressive Party, the fore-
runner of the present National
Party {Kokuminto), and was
himself its president until a few
years ago. In 1888, the year
preceding the promulgation of
the Constitution, he wa'? ap-
pointed Foreign Minister in
the Kuroda Cabinet and un-
dertook the important task of
revising old- treaties conclud-
ed with the powers before the
Restoration, in order to regain
the rights then conceded by
Japan. Some of his measures,
however, caused great objec-
tion among partisans and a.
certain Tsuneki Kurushima
threw a bomb at his carriage.
This outrage inflicted a severe
injury on his leg, which was
consequently amputated. He
joined the 2nd Matsukata
Cabinet as Foreign Minister
and Minister of Agriculture
and Commerce in 1896, but
resigned shortly afterwards,.
In June 1898 the.Okuma-Ita-
gaki Coalition Ministry, in
which the Count assumed the
Pi'emiership with additional
duty as Minister of Foreign
Affairs, was formed. But this
alliance broke up after some
months. Though he has re-
€t!
[ 734]
signed the Leadership of his
party he still continues to take
an active interest in politics
and other affairs, for he is a
many-sided man and can boast
of his success as an education-
ist, especially in the found-
ing of the Waseda University,
the largest university under
private management in the
Empire, and he is now its
president. He is also the pa- .
tron of the Women's Univer-
sity at Mejiro. He is a per-
:son amongst Japanese public
men who is well acquainted
with things Japanese, so that
•distinguished foreign visitors
to Japan are in the habit of
•calling on the Count for in-
formation. His opinion often
represents the public opinion
■of Japan. 'Publication : " Fifty
years of New Japan" (Eng-
lish). Recreation: horticulture
is his hobby and his collec-
tion of tropical plants, chiefly
orchids, is perhaps the best
in Japan. Address : Waseda,

Captain of the Naniwa when
the China-Japan war broke
out and was ordered to make
a cruise off the Korean coast
with Takachilio, Yoshino, and
Akitsu, all of which together
with. Naniwa belonged to the
Flying Squadron and were
commanded by Rear-Admi-
ral Tsuboi ; then occurred that
famous " Sinking of Kow-
shing Case " in which Togo
had his first opportunity of
putting into practice the les-
sons of naval warfare which
he had learned in England ;
in this connection a few lines
would be necessary to ex-
plain his situation at that
time : " At 6 - a. m. " on the
25th July 1894, the first divi-
sion of the Japanese Squad-
ron, to which Togo's ship Na-
niwa belonged, saw two Chi-
nese men-of-war near the is-
land of Phung-do (or Round
Island) in Koi'ean waters. At
7.5 the fleets approached each
other^ within 3000 metres and
began to open fire. The en-
counter raged fiercely for a-
bout an hour and a half. One
of the Chinese ships, being
severely damaged, went a-
shore, while the other fled to
Chelung Bay, to find her way
back to China. While the
Japanese fleet was chasing the
[ I049 ]
Tog
enemy two other steamers had
appeared in the offing and it
was soon seen that one was
the Tsao-kaing, the Chinese
gunboat," and the other the
Kowshing which had left Ta-
ku on the 23rd, and had now
arrived on the scene. At 8.30
a.m. the Japanese fleet saw
the Kowshing passing on the
starboard in the distance. At
9.15, the Naniwa drew near
the British ship, signalled her
to stop and fired two blank
■ cartridges. Next she ordered
her to anchor by the signal
L. P. Prize officers were soon
sent to her, and it was dis-
covered that she carried the
enemy's troops. Thereupon the
Naniwa ordered Kowshing to
follow her, but Captain Gals-
worthy; commanding the ves-
sel, replied that the Chinese
on board prevented him and
were for returning to Taku
from whence they had come.
The Captain and the crew
were threatened with death
by the Chinese if they left
the vessel. AH attempts to
take the ship were therefore
useless as the Chinese refus-
ed to surrender ; and the Na-
niwa therefore signalled to the
captain that his crew should
jump into the sea as soon as
a red flag was hoisted on the
warship. On seeing the red
flag, therefore, the crew jump'
ed into the sea, and were fired
upon by the Chinese. They
were all killed except the- Cap-
tain, the first officer, and
the quartermaster who were
picked up by the Naniwa's
boats. The Naniwa then sank
the Kowshing with a shot
which struck her Engine-
room. Only a few Chinese
escaped by swirhming to an
island. Major Von Hannec-
ken, who was also on board,
having been ordered by the
Chinese Gevernment to fortify
Asan, also swam ashore. "
He was promoted Rear-Ad-
miral and Commander' of the
Standing Squadron, May 1 898;
then transferred as Comman-
der of the Maizuru Naval Sta-
tion ; Admiral, June 1904 ; in
the Russo-Japanese war as
Commander - in - Chief of the
Combined Fleet gained com-
plete victory over the Rus-
sian navy which was totally
annihilated by the two great
naval engagements at Port
Arthur and the Japan Sea,
his principal exploits having
been the bombardment of Port
Arthur, the "-heroic attempt
to blockade the entrance of
the port by means of sunken
ships, the pursuit and defeat
of the Port Arthur fleet, the
sinking of two of the enemy's
ships, and finally the com-
plete destruction of Rozhdest-
Tog
[ 1050 ]
vensky's fleet at the battle of
Tsushima in the Sea of Ja-
pan (May 27, 1905) ; a minute
detail of the movements taken
by Togo in the war being as
follows .' " At Port Arthur, on
13 April 1904, Togo sent
boats inshore to "sow" the
outer roadstead with mines,
the flotilla which accompanied
them having instructions to
draw the Russians out to sea.
Falling into the trap, Admiral-
Makharov's squadron steam-
ed out after the decoys, only
to find, when ten miles out,
that they were under Togo's
big guns. The Russian ves-
sels straggled bade, headed by
the Petropavlmsk. This big
battleship struck one of the
mines and sank, with 750 of
her crew and Admiral Mak-
harov himself lost his life. The
Pobieda and several of the
smaller ships were badly in-
jured. On August loth the
Russians made a desperate
sortie under Admiral Vitoft;
but the admiral was killed
and the fleet scattered. Five
battleships, the ctms&x Pallada^
and three destroyers returned
to the harbour. The battleship
Tsarevitch and three destroy-
ers gained Tsin - tao, where
they were interned. The tor-
pedo-boat Retckitelni sought
refuge at Chefoo, where she
saw "cut out" by the Japanese
and towed away. The cruiser
Askold and a 'destroyer were
dismantled at Shanghai, as
was the Dtana at Saigon,
and a destroyer was blown
up on the rocks at Sh.-'.ntung.
The Navik had gone with the
four other ships to Tsin-tao,
where she took coal on board,
and then she made a daring
attempt to reach Vladivostock.
The Vladiv istock squadron,
four days after the sortie, was
making its way south to help
the Port Arthur fleet, when .
it was caught by Admiral
Kamimura, who sank the Ru'
rik, and all but crippled the
Rossta and the Gromoboi. The
Novik was sighted near Sa-
ghalien by two Japanese cruis-
ers, and ran herself ashore.
In the middle of October
(1904) Admiral Rozhdestven-
sky took command of a Rus-
sian fleet in the Baltic, and
began his voyage half-way
round the world. The Rus-
sian fleet continued its voyage.
Early in May 1905, after Ad-
miral Nebogatov, who had
left Libau on February 15,
in chai'ge of a third Russian
squadron, had joined Rpzh-
destvensky, the great fleet of
nearly forty vessels made for
Vladivostock. Admiral Togc
allowed the Russian vessels
a free passage until, on May
27, they reached the straits
[ losi]
Tog
of Tsushima, between Korea
and Japan. There the Japa-
nese fleet formed a circle round
the hapless armada. Five
Russian warships sank before
nightfall. A torpedo attack
was made on Saturday night,
the general engagement being
resumed on Sunday morning.
A halt was not called till
Admiral Togo had sunk, cap-
tured, or disabled eight battle-
ships,.nine cruisers, three coast
defence ships, nine des.troyers,
one auxiliary cruiser, six spe-
cial service steamers, and two
hospital ships. Japan's losses
in this the greatest of her sea
battles were three torpedo
boats, and Ii6men killed and
538 wounded. Russia lost
4,000 killed, and among her
7,300 sailers taken prisoners
were Admirals Rozhdestven-
sky and Nebogatov. This
finally broke the Russian re-
sistance." He was promoted
Admiral when the war was
still in progress and subsequ-
ently created Count with the
decorations of the Grand Or-
der of the Chrysanthemum
and the ist Class of the Gold-
en Kite; also received the Or-

illustrious line founded by
lyeyasu (about two hundred
years ago) and of the occu-
pants of the Military Regency
started by Yoritpmo (about
seven hundred years ago). He
was confronted soon aft^r his
succession to the exalted an-
cestral seat with the national
revolt that had originated sev-
eral years before with the ai*m
of pulling down the Regency
and reinstating the Imperial
House to its rightful position.
But for his conviction that the
time had finally come for the
restoration of the Imperial
monarchy the work of the
Restoration could not have
been easily accomplished at

Stone. Wm. H., adviser to
the Department of Com-

Stone joined the old Kobu-
sho or Public "Vi'orks' Depart-
ment in 1872, as a junior
assistant. At that time there
were about three hundred
foreigners in the various de-
partments of the Government,
and Mr. Stone is the only
one remaining in active
service to-day, although a
few of these old Government
servants are still living and
are either in Japan or in re-
tirement at home. The Kobu-
sho had control of the coun-
try's railways, telegraphs,
lighthouses and mines, but
when the Teishinsho, or De-
partment of Communications
was instituted to take the
place of the Kobusho, the
Mining Bureau was turned
over to the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce,
while the Mercantile Marine
Bureau as well as the
Postal service came in to
the Department of Com-
munications. This change
took place in 1885 when the-
late Admiral Enomoto was
appointed the first Minister
for Communications. Mr.
Stone, during his career in
the Japanese service, has
witnessed some remarkable
changes from tha old to the
new, and has seen the birth
of many of the great national
services that exist to-day.
The Tokyo- Yokohama rail-
way was opened shortly after
his arrival. Mr. Stone was
engaged in England to act
as assistant on the institution
of the telegraph service in
Japan in the 5tli y. of Meiji.

ROBERT p. PORTER^ special correspondent of iTAe.T/mesfsayS'.-
'T was not until Ryub«i Murayama acquired the Osaka Asahl SMmbUtt vd]
1879, that the other newspaper managers awoke to the fact that newspapers,
like other business ventures, require ample capital and capable business manage-'
uaent. Mr. Murayama simply established a modern newspaper with ^telegraphic
news, and correspondents at home and abroad^ and a modern plant to produce and
print it. ; He spared no expense to give the public the news, andj he enormously'
increased the number of bis readers by seeing that the important^ news "was pro-
perly displayed and not buried in cut of the way corners of his paper. The Asabl
was sold at a popular price, and the circulation greatly increased. ::^'As~a. result l}ie,
advei-tising revenues improved to such an extent that the i4sdA/ ' <Kit<:Ustanced all
its competitors the Asahi ventured with signal success into „'i'okyo. Th^ j
