Emperor Hirohito of Japan (foreground) prepares to view samples through a microscope in the laboratory of WHOI geochemist Susumu Honjo (standing) during a visit in 1975. An amateur marine biologist in his own right, Hirohito made it a point to visit Woods Hole during the first visit of the Japanese head of state after World War II.
