- W4360783468 abstract "Edwin Oldfather Reischauer was born in Tokyo in 1910. After spending his childhood in Japan, he attended Oberlin College in Ohio, and later Harvard University Graduate School, where he majored in East Asian studies. He continued to pursue his studies abroad in Paris and then in Leiden, after which he returned to Japan to further his studies at institutions including the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University. His doctorate thesis at Harvard was about Ennin, the Japanese monk who studied in T’ang China in the ninth century. He began teaching in the Department of Far Eastern Languages at his graduate alma mater, but after the breakout of the Pacific War, he began working actively as a Japanese specialist at the U.S. State Department and Department of the Army. He was said to have considerably influenced the U.S. postwar policy towards Japan. After the war, Dr. Reischauer returned to Harvard University and became a professor there in 1950, teaching in the departments of East Asian languages and Japanese history. Concurrently, he served as the Director of both the Harvard-Yenching Institute and the East Asian Research Center, among other positions, playing a formidable role in promoting research on Japan and Asia in the U.S. In 1961, he assumed the post of Ambassador to Japan at the earnest request of President Kennedy, and served as a capable coordinator during the difficult period that directly followed the conclusion of the Japan-U.S. security treaty. This role of his is widely known in Japan as well. After losing his wife Adrienne to illness, he remarried Haru, the granddaughter of former Japanese Prime Minister Matsukata Masayoshi, in Tokyo. He is also the author of numerous other works include Japan: Past and Present (Nihon: Kako to Genzai) (1949), The United States and Japan (Gasshūkoku to Nihon) (1950), Ennin’s Diary: The Record of a Pilgrimage to China in Search of the Dharma (Nittō Guhō Junreiki) (1955), East Asia: The Modern Transformation (Higashiajia: Kindai e no Henkaku) (1965) and Beyond Vietnam (Betonamu wo Koete) (1967). Dr. Reischauer passed away in 1991." @default.
