   Dr. Rudolf Lehmann, a German who is associated with the founding of KPU, was invited to Kyoto prefecture to teach German during the Meiji period. He worked on compiling  genuine German dictionaries, and supervised Japan’s first German-Japanese dictionary, called Wayaku-Doitz Jisho(2 volumes) published from 1872 to 1873. He also supervised the first Japanese-German dictionary, called Wadoku-Taiyaku Jirin published in 1877.
   The KPU library owns the original Wadoku-Taiyaku Jirin published at that time.
