5 “Silver watch from the emperor” referred to the reward bestowed on the highest performing individuals at institutions like Tokyo Imperial University. Enryō’s excitement over the sheet of “Western paper” shows us how important Ishiguro’s private school was to the ten-year-old Enryō. Ishiguro also wrote on his impressions of Enryō. school, but then from outside there came the sound of snow being tapped off footwear. My wife said it was definitely Tomotsune (i.e. Enryō), and when she opened the door, sure enough it was Inoue Tomotsune. Tomotsune came in holding his geta sandals with a broken strap, and when my wife asked so he rushed here in bare feet. Inoue had been very enthusiastic about learning ever since he was a child, and his level of com-Enryō became his name after he was ordained, but when he was a child he was called Kishimaru, and after that Tomotsune. Looking at these two quotes, we can see that there was a personal connection between the twenty-three year-old teacher Ishiguro and the ten year-old Enryō. In the spring one year later after the flames of the Edo war had subsided, Ishiguro returned to what was now Tokyo. The sudden parting of ways with his beloved teacher was a shock to the young Enryō. Showing the importance of his encounter with Ishi-guro he wrote, “I was disappointed to lose such a good teacher.” One morning there was heavy snow and no one came into why he didn’t fix it before coming, he said that it would have made him late. It would be wrong to be late for teacher’s lecture mitment was definitely different to the others.
