Basil Hall
1886 Batchelor moved to the new house in April. That summer, a British Japanologist Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850–1935), professor of Tokyo Imperial University visited Batchelor's house to write on Ainu and stayed with Batchelor for three weeks. Batchelor took Chamberlain to Ainu villages, which was beneficial to publishing a book on Ainu.
