Reijiro Wakatsuki, prime minister of Japan (April 14, 1931 –Dec. 13, 1931), practices calligraphy in 1931. Wakatsuki was keen on sinology. He once declined giving up drinking by offering an improvised poem, saying he was merely drinking a controlled amount after sickness, and he usually sobered up quickly. His respect to the Chinese culture was shared by other top Japanese officials. [Photo/Sina] |
