He returned to Kobe in 1884, and the following year he worked hard to publish the first weekly newspaper in the Christian world in Japan, "Shichiichi Zatsuho." In addition to information inside and outside of Christianity, he contributed to the dissemination of knowledge on Western culture, science, hygiene, and more.
