(Peter) Yoshiro Saeki (1871-1965), Japanese scholar of religion and law, was consulted on the rebuilding of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb blast of August 6, 1945. He advised rebuilding the city as a relatively small and well-planned space. In 1962 he received an honorary doctorate from Waseda University in Tokyo.
