A MAKER OF MODERN JAPAN.
THE LATE FURUCHI GENICHIRO.
* T
With the death recently of Fukuchi Geni chiro, Japan has lost one of the men prominent in the building up of New Japan. Despite the great success that attended bis efforts in mid- dio age Fukuchi lived a life of comparative obscurity and disappointment during the last ten years, and though he sat in the House of Representatives for two or three years before his death he died without achieving anything remarkable. Fukuchi was a man of undoubt. ed versatility, and in the days of his zenith was connected with many things-political, social, Journalistic, and commercial-but his name will be best remembered as a journalist nad playwright. Japanese journalism owes much to Fukuchi, a pioneer journalist who did much towards lifting Japanese Journalism into its present position.
Fukuchi Genichiro was born in Nagasaki in 1841. He'early mastered Dutch and "Eng||sh, and this, together with his general literary altainments, enablod him in "obtain an ime portant position as official interpreter belate he was out of his teens. Henceforward, up to middle age, his career was one of smooth sailing on the sea of success Perhaps his early success had something to do with bis downfall afterwards, though he is understood to have persistently declined offers nf respon sible positions made by several Rider States- men with whom he was associated at one time or another.
Fukuchi, in common with many noted meo who made their names during the unsettled and stirring-period of the Restoration, was a lover of gay life and early acquired habits of dissipation which he evidently found it hard to eradicate afterwards. While at the zenith of his prosperity, when editor and proprietor of the Nicat-Nichi Shimbun, he lived a life of great luxury and even extravagance. At one time he was known as the "Lord of Ikenohata" ➡because bo lived at the latter place, in the gay world of Tokyo, indeed, he was a great

He used to say it was the proudest moment for him when he, as Chairman of the Reception Committee, excorted the wife of General Grant to the re ception at Uyeno Park in the summer of 1879. At that time the visits of distinguished person. ages from abroad were few and far between, and the reception accorded in the former Pre-

To return to his early days, when the Japan- ere Mission was sent to Europe, in 1861, for the purpose of asking the foreign Governments for the postponement of opening several ports to foreigntra e, Fukuchi was included in the party As interpreter. The mission left Japan on board a British warship and, visiting France, England, Holland, Russia, Prussin, und Portu gul, returned to this country in the spring of 1863 on board a French man-of-war. In 1864 Fukuchi was ispatched to France and En gland with Shibata Hyuga-no-kami, who was charged with the duty of purchasing machinery and other material for the construction of the shipbuilding yard at Yokosuka. On the ccca sion of this journey Fukuchi commenced the study of Franch. After his return from 'Europe the following year he was given se important position in the Government, while retaining his office as Chief Interpreter At this time most of the Tokugawa men were in favour of closing the country to foreign intercourse, but Fukuchi fearlessly advocated the opening peli- cy, thereby incurring the enmity of the ex- clusionists and even endangering his life.
It was in 1868 that Fuküchi published his Koko Shimbun, and after the restoration of the Imperial power he was arrewed by the new Government on the charge of having incited people against the latter in his paper) He was, however, released after incarceration for about a month.

At the age of 29 Fukuchi again visited Tokyo and started a foreign language school at Hongo which proved more successful than. a previous venture in the same line. In 1870, on the introduction of Baron Shibusawa, he made the acquaintance of Marquis Ito, who was Vice-Minister of the Finance Department and through his recommendation, he was made an official of the Department at an annual salary of Yaço. In December of the same year he went to America as a member of the suite of Marquis Ito. This mission was for the porpore #fin. vestigating financial matters, such as banking, Singanore Masers, Reichart, Grumberg, Mrs. Sery, and Mr. Scbirk.
