...stepchild of New England influence which owes much to Amherst College. Recently I have discovered that Kanzo Uchimura, the founder of Mukyokai, was sent to Amherst on the introduction and strong urging of Joseph Hardy Nee-sima (1843-1890), the first Japanese graduate of a Western institution of higher learning (Amherst 1870), after he had escaped from "closed" Japan six years previously.
