[124]Einstein, Elsa, and others visited Toshogu Temple and “other related temples” (see Governor of Tochigi Prefecture to Minister of Diplomacy, 7 December 1922 [JTDRO, Diplomatic R/ 3.9.4.110.5]). [125]The Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan during the Edo period from 1603 to 1868. Ieyasu Toku- gawa (1543–1616) was its founder and first shogun. [126]They departed Nikko for Tokyo at 5:10 P.M. (see Governor of Tochigi Prefecture to Minister of Diplomacy, 7 December 1922 [JTDRO, Diplomatic R/3.9.4.110.5]). [127]See Einstein 1923b (Doc. 391). [128]Einstein arrived at Nagoya station at 4:41 P.M. He was greeted by executives of the Shin-Aichi company, principals, professors, and approximately one thousand students of the Medical College and higher schools who shouted “Banzai” (see Shin Aichi, 8 December 1922). [129]Leonor Michaelis (1875–1949) was a German-born Professor of Biochemistry at Aichi Med- ical College. [130]The Atsuta Shrine. [131]A luncheon at the hotel was held by the Kaizo-Sha and the Sin Aichi Co. When the Einsteins departed Nagoya at 4:46 P.M, a large crowd came to bid them farewell (see Shin Aichi, 10 December 1922). The Einsteins arrived at Kyoto station at 7:38 P.M. and stayed at the Miyako Hotel (see Gov- ernor of Kyoto Prefecture to Minister of Diplomacy, 11 December 1922 [JTDRO, Diplomatic R/ 3.9.4.110.5]). The Chion-in Temple in Kyoto, at which “the great bell, not normally struck for anyone, is struck” for Einstein (see Okamoto 1981, p. 937). [132]At this point in the original text, Einstein appended the note in the right margin: “(8. & 9. in falscher Reihenfolge.” [133]Nagoya Castle. [134]Einstein’s fourth popular lecture, entitled “On the Principle of Relativity,” was held at the Gymnasium for National Sport (Nagoya Kokugikan) and was translated by Jun Ishiwara (see Ishi- wara 1923). [135]At this point in the original text, Einstein appended a note at the right margin: “falsche Reihenfolge.” [136]Einstein departed (without Elsa) from Kyoto station at 10:40 A.M. and arrived at Osaka station at 11:32 A.M., accompanied by German ambassador Solf, Ishiwara, and Yamamoto. Einstein and Solf attended a welcoming reception held by the Japanese-German Society at the Osaka Hotel. The recep- tion was attended by two hundred people. In his reply to Sata’s welcome, Einstein stressed that “he took it that the enthusiastic welcome was not intended for him only, but for German science as a whole, and, only in that spirit, could he accept it.” The military band of the Osaka garrison played the Japanese and German national anthems and the reception ended with “Banzais” for both nations (see Governor of Kyoto Prefecture to Minister of Diplomacy, 11 December 1922, and Governor of Osaka Prefecture to Minister of Diplomacy, 14 December 1922 [JTDRO, Diplomatic R/3.9.4.110.5], and Osaka Mainichi, English Daily Edition, 12 December 1922). The mayor of Osaka was Shiro Ikegami (1857–1929). Aihiko Sata (1871–1950) was Professor of Pathology, president of Osaka Medical Col- lege, and president of the Japanese-German Society. [137]Einstein’s sixth popular lecture, entitled “On the General and Special Principles of Relativity,” was held at Osaka Central Auditorium at 6 P.M. and translated by Ishiwara. It was attended by two thousand people. He returned to Kyoto the same day by departing Osaka at 10:22 P.M. (see Governor of Osaka Prefecture to Minister of Diplomacy, 14 December 1922 [JTDRO, Diplomatic R/ 3.9.4.110.5], and Ezawa 2005, p. 9). [138]Einstein’s fifth popular lecture, entitled “On the Principle of Relativity” was held at Kyoto Civic Auditorium and was interpreted by Ishiwara (see Osaka Mainichi, English Daily Edition, 8 December 1922). [139]The Sento Imperial Palace in Kyoto. For Ishiwara’s description of Einstein’s visit to the palace, see Ishiwara 1923, pp. 155–157.
