This
historic
nursing
school
was
founded
in
1920
by
American
doctor
and
missionary
Teusler
to
train
American-level
medical
professionals.
The
building
collapsed
in
the
Great
Kanto
Earthquake,
and
was
later
rebuilt
with
donations
from
the
Imperial
Family,
the
Episcopal
Church,
the
Red
Cross,
and
others,
creating
the
current
chapel
and
surrounding
area.
It
was
designed
by
Czech
Antonin
Raymond,
a
disciple
of
Frank
L.
Wright.
Raymond
returned
to
the
United
States
before
the
Pacific
War
and
assisted
Curtis
LeMay
in
designing
an
experimental
house
for
the
Tokyo
air
raids.
His
autobiography
describes
his
bitter
feelings
about
his
love
for
Japan
and
his
wish
for
an
end
to
the
war.
After
the
end
of
the
war,
he
returned
to
Japan
and
left
behind
many
works.
Raymond
Architectural
Design
Office
still
exists
next
to
Meiji
Shrine,
and
his
disciples
are
also
involved
in
the
design
of
the
Japanese
embassy
in
Raymond's
birthplace,
the
Czech
Republic.
The
chapel
is
free
to
enter
and
exit
as
long
as
a
small
number
of
people
visit
quietly.
The
walls
are
filled
with
reliefs
depicting
vermin
and
vermin
that
transmit
infectious
diseases,
reflecting
the
wishes
of
our
ancestors
for
the
fusion
of
medicine,
science,
and
prayer.
The
first
year's
admission
and
tuition
fees
are
2
million
yen,
and
parents
have
to
pay
a
whopping
7
million
yen
over
four
years.
Although
it
is
not
cheap,
it
has
400
students
and
nearly
70
faculty
members,
so
you
can
expect
a
much
higher
quality
education
than
other
nursing
universities.
It
may
be
a
shame
to
note
that
the
brand
of
St.
Luke's
Hospital,
which
has
seen
the
end
of
countless
Japanese
celebrities,
including
the
mother
of
the
late
Empress
and
Imperial
Prince
Takahito
Mikasa,
remains
the
same,
including
its
advanced
and
high-quality
end-of-life
care.
It
is
unique
in
Tokyo,
and
occupies
one
of
the
best
nursing
universities
in
both
name
and
reality.
