'A Japanese student was admitted in my School at Santiniketan' . He wanted to get the whole world in his nest and this was the beginning and he added, 'The boy is good. He has become close to us. Your friend Mira made him her fan by supplying a cup of flowers everyday and learning a Japanese word every day from him.'
The letter written to Brajendra Kishore by Rabindranath was a bit longer. He wrote, 'A Japanese student got admitted here. His name was Hori but he gave his name as Chidananda. He was very polite and calm. He was so attentive in his lesson that it surprised everybody because he came here from a long distance, leaving all his near and dear ones to live in a so lonely a place. The servants living here are also moved at his polite behavior. His main aim was to study Tripitak, the Budhist religious book, in sanskrit. He would take much time in learning Sanskrit because he could not pronounce a single sanskrit word. He faltered every time. Once he became ill, but his eagerness to learn did not decrease.'
Rabindranath was also taking care of him. He wrote to Manoranjan Bandyopadhyay 'employ Rathi or someone to look after Hori. Hori might be busy during his Entrance Examination so some senior student should look after his food timely etc'.
Jagadish chandra became acquianted with Hori after coming from London. He prepared a long programme on how Hory should complete his study.
