As one of the results of the promotion policy of education for science and technology, Japanese Government established additional Imperial Universities in various places in Japan after Tokyo. They are Kyoto (Kyoto Imperial University, it took about 20 years after the estabhshment of the Imperial University of Tokyo), Sendai (Tohoku Imperial University), Sapporo in Hokkaido (Imperial University of Hokkaido), Fukuoka (Imperial University of Kyushu), Osaka and Nagoya. Owing to the promotion pohcy a relatively large amoimt of budget was provided to these imiversities and they played the role as centers of scientific researches of Japan.

On his return home in 1911, Honda was appointed professor of physies at the new Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, in the north of Japan this institution had been established only in 1906, when the finance minister twisted the arm of an industrialist who had made himself unpopular because of pollution eaused by his copper mines and extracted the necessary funds to build the new university. A provisional institute of physical and chemical research was initiated in 1916, divided into a part devoted to novel plastics and another to metals. This proved to be Honda s lifetime domain he assembled a lively team of young physicists and chemists. In the same year, Honda invented a high-cobalt steel also containing tungsten and chromium, which had by far the highest coercivity of any permanent-magnet material then known. He called it KS steel, for K. Sumitomo, one of his sponsors, and it made Honda famous.

One parameter which has so far been neglected in the discussion of the influence of physical conditions on the young Earth is the pressure in rock layers. This has been the subject of investigation by Ohara and co-workers from the Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, who studied the pressure-dependence of the polymerisation of dry glycine at 423 K and pressures from 5 to 100 MPa. The experiments took between 1 and 32 days. Depending on the pressure, light to dark yellow products were obtained. At low pressures, the colour is probably due to the presence of melanoids.
