## History

The thought of a Japanese-Hungarian School started to flow around the mid till the late 19th century, as plans proposed during the aftermath of the first Commercial, Naval, and Friendship treaty between the Meiji Government and the Dual Monarchy Austria-Hungary on 18 October 1869.

Austria-Hungary's turning point was the Compromise of 1867, while Japan's turning point was the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Both of them were considered by other Empires as "Latecomers" during this period of modernization.

But during many expeditions, exchanges, and diplomatic approaches, this includes the famous Iwakura Mission, a diplomat voyage from Japan to both the US and Europe to let them recognize their reinstated Empire, renegotiation of the unequal treaties, and a comprehensive study of the western world. The one event that made Japan's debut in the Western World is in the 1873 Vienna World's Fair, where a wave of appreciation swept across the continent of Europe, and this includes the host of the fair, Austria-Hungary.

From that point and onward, the relation between Japan and Hungary mostly stayed warm and friendly. With many cultural exchanges and expeditions, such as the arrival of Gyula Tornia, a Hungarian Painter, that reached Japan by 1905, painting some famous works such as *A Japanese Princess Going to Church,* *Geisha,* *The Geisha House*, and the *Samurai Warrior.* One also known journey from Austria-Hungary to Japan is the Journey of Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria-Este, in 1892.

Even after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, Hungary remained friendly to Japan and vice versa. For a period after the end of the Second World War, diplomatic relations between Hungary and Japan stopped for a brief period. Resumed in 1959, established Diplomatic representations such as legations in 1960, and in 1964 they raised these legations to Embassies.

Reigniting the old bilateral relations between the two, the newly raised level Embassy proceeded to resurface the old plans of a Japanese-Hungarian School dated around 95 years ago. But since Hungary's strained by its status as a Satellite State and part of the Iron Curtain, the plan never got shed to light.

That is until the year 1989 where Hungary became free from the curse of the Iron Curtain. Free again, the plans of a Japanese-Hungarian School then proceeds into motion. By 1990, the Hungarians and Japanese constructed the school in Yuzawa, a city considered to be the sister-city of Csurgó in Hungary. With the elaboration of Hungarian Architectures, the school became known for its puzzling streets and mesmerizing styles. Thus the school gained its name "Rubrik" or "Rubik's cube" due to its intricate and puzzling streets.

The school opened on 23 October 1994, the same date as the Hungarians commemorates the 1956 Revolution Memorial Day. It only became viable to "Maritime Exploration" after two years of its existence. The School-Ship they based and designed is the *SMS Viribus Unitus*, a dreadnought battleship, and its commissioner is a joint Fincantieri-Japan Marine United.

The School-Ship of Viribus Unitus was commission in the Port of Akita on the day of 15 March 2000, the same day as the Memorial Day of the 1848 Revolution in Hungary.

## School-Ship

Their School-Ship is the *SMS* *(Seiner Majestät Schiff) Viribus Unitus,* a dreadnought battleship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy in World War 1. It is considered to be a School-Cruiser under School-Ship's classification.
