Abstract

Physical chemistry was introduced into Japan in the late nineteenth century by Sakuria Joji (1858–1936) at Tokyo Imperial University, and by the early 1900s had a strong following among Western-trained scholars [1, 2]. The leader among Japanese academics in nitrogen capture and the ammonia equilibrium was Tamaru Setsuro, who in 1913 introduced chemist Suzuki Tatsuji—from 1915 director of the Yokohama Chemical Research Laboratory—then in Germany to Fritz Haber. This was enough to convince Suzuki of the superiority of Haber’s method over other methods of nitrogen capture then in use—that is, cyanamide and electric arc processes.

During the conflict, the Japanese had converted much of the railway to the Japanese gauge, of 3 ft 6 in, and constructed a light railway from Mukden (Shenyang) to Antung of 2 ft 6 in gauge. From 1906, these lines were converted to the international standard gauge, 4 ft 8.5 in. Since Japanese manufacturers were not equipped to construct equipment for the standard gauge, the first orders for new railway equipment were placed with American firms.
