Imperial Navy Department, Tokyo, 1905 February 19. To Mr. C. Bryant,
Haver Hill, Massachusetts. In part: "I have sent you by this mail the
photographs [not present] of our two Leading Naval officers of today. I
hope you will print them if you desire to do so...." Makoto Saito (1858-1936)
served as naval Aide-de-Camp to Emperor Mutsuhito (Meiji) during the
Sino-Japanese War. Admiral Saito served in the Russo-Japanese War
(1904-1905). He was Minister for the Navy (1913-1914) and Governor General
of Korea (1919-1927, 1929-1931). Saito was Prime Minister of Japan from
1932-1934. In February 1936, a group of young officers tried to seize
control of the government and impose a new Cabinet on Emperor Hirohito. The
revolt failed, but 78-year-old Viscount Makoto Saito was among those officers
who were assassinated. Lightly creased. Light stain at right blank
margin. Glue remnant of partially affixed caption along bottom edge of first
