    • THE FAMILY CHRONICLE OF THE ENGLISH SATOWS

      From Britain & Japan: Biographical Portraits, Volym 2by Ian Hill Nish

      It is clear that Cholmondeley saw Takeda Hisayoshi (1883-1972), Satow’s younger son, relatively frequently from 1900 onwards, just before Satow left Japan. While he was minister in Japan, it would appear that Satow looked to Archdeacon A.C. Shaw, the then Chaplain at the British Legation and a resident in Tokyo since 1873, for any help he might require. In March 1897, for instance, Satow noted in his diary: ‘to Shaw & settled with him about Hisakichi [sic] going to live with him after Easter’. Entry for 23 March 1897, Satow Diaries microfilm PRO 30-005 (PRO 30/33/16/1). However, after Satow was translated to the Peking legation, the responsibility of keeping an eye of Takeda Hisayoshi and his mother fell to Cholmondeley. During the mid-1900s, Takeda Hisayoshi was studying in Sapporo (and was furnished by Cholmondeley with introductions to Archdeacon John Batchelor), but Takeda always made a point to have lunch with Cholmondeley or even, on occasion, apparently attend a service at St Barnabas’ when he was back in Tokyo. Cholmondeley had less to do with Takeda Eitaro, the older son, because he emigrated to the United States, but it would seem that Cholmondeley thought quite highly of him. In July 1909 Cholmondeley wrote to Satow that ‘I will be hoping to see Hisayoshi some time this summer. His mother is very constant Church [St Barnabas’, Ushigome]. I feel sure that she finds help and pleasure in coming’. Cholmondeley to Satow, 23 July 1909, Satow Papers, PRO 30/33/12/4 2679. As a church member, Cholmondeley would see Takeda’s mother every week, for a brief biographical sketch of Takeda Hisayoshi, who became a botanist and also a founding member of the Japan Alpine Club, sec Konsaisu Nihon Jinmei Jiten, Tokyo: Sanscido 1990 edition, p. 756.
