The Saitama Gakusei Yueki-kai (literally “guiding and supporting
society for students from Saitama”) was established in Tokyo in 1902 to
support students from Saitama prefecture studying in Tokyo.
Shibusawa Eiichi, a business leader originally from Saitama, became its
first president and remained in the position until the end of his life in1931.

Support was also given by other prominent figures from the12010 No.02, September, 2010prefecture, including Honda Seiroku, a doctor of forestry, who raised funds for the society.
