Remarks

1. ↑ Painting by Kuroda Seiki .
2. ↑ Today Date (Fukushima) .
3. ↑ Meiyo Kyōju (名誉 教授) is occasionally rendered in German as "Professor emeritus". But in contrast to this title, which is automatically used on retirement, this is a special award only occasionally granted in Japan.
4. ↑ According to the Swiss doctor Félix Gerlier (1840–1914): dizziness, paralysis, muscle disorders, which occurs mainly among farm workers and shepherds in Switzerland and Japan.
5. ↑ Since the imperial cultural order may not be linked to a payment, the distinction "person with special cultural merits" was introduced in 1951, which is linked to an honorary salary from budget funds. Only some of those who have been honored receive the cultural medal at the same time or later.
