 | | In 1956, at an address delivered at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, Sir George Sansom identified the pioneers of Japanese studies in the West as Ernest Mason Satow (1843—1929), William George Aston (1841—1911), Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850—1935) and Karl Adolf Florenz (1865—1939). |
| | Similarly, an exhibition held in Aichi Kyoiku Daigaku Library in 1994 focused on the same Satow and Chamberlain as the pioneers of Japanese studies. |
| | It is probably Dickins’s acquaintance with this priest that the scholar Minakata Kumagusu (see below) was referring to when he claimed that Dickins had been an apprentice at a Zen temple in Kanagawa (i.e., Yokohama) at the age of fifteen, although the age must of course be wrong. |
