Dear Bill,<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the conference held at Clark in 1909, there were two Japanese students.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of their names under the photo was slightly different, somehow.<\/span><\/p>\n

KANDA, SAKYO was interested in English for the first time, but he got M.A. under\u00a0<\/span>G. S. Hall in June, 1909. \u00a0After that he became a biologist and got Ph.D. in 1915.\u00a0<\/span>He seemed to be between animal psychologist and biologist, and also interested in<\/span>psychoanalysis. \u00a0He wrote a brief paper in Japanese about an application of psycho<\/span>analysis to old Japanese myth. \u00a0His name disappeared from Japanese psychology after<\/span>1930s. He died in July, 1939, at age of 65.<\/span><\/p>\n

KAKISE, HIKOZO was more like genuine psychologist. \u00a0He graduated from Tokyo\u00a0<\/span>Imperial University (the former name of Tokyo University), and went abroad for\u00a0<\/span>studying psychology under G. S. Hall in 1907. \u00a0He got his Ph.D. at Clark in 1911,<\/span>about a study of understanding. \u00a0After coming back to Japan in 1911, he made a <\/span>brief report about the contemporary American psychology, including association\u00a0<\/span>experiment of C. G. Jung. \u00a0He then became an officer at Ministry of Education,\u00a0<\/span>and also retired from Japanese psychology scene. He died around 1944.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s actually a very good example to see how the history of psychology in Japan\u00a0<\/span>stands. \u00a0The photo of Clark conference is well-known and people might find two\u00a0<\/span>Asian standing behind Freud, Jung and others. \u00a0But very few know who they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also both of them were standing a bit away from the mainstream, their names\u00a0<\/span>didn’t remain in the general textbooks or dictionaries. \u00a0Sad things, which I and my\u00a0<\/span>colleagues would like to change…<\/span><\/p>\n

For Japanese psychologists, it is good to know, that the first comprehensive\u00a0<\/span>dictionary of Japanese psychologists will be published soon. \u00a0Both two might be\u00a0<\/span>found there.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope these tiny pieces of information would be enough for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely<\/span><\/p>\n
