Biography
Komaba no Koen Kellner Rice Fields

Oskar Kellner was invited to teach in Japan as a foreign advisor by the Meiji government of the Empire of Japan to improve on Japanese agricultural productivity.

Arriving on 5 November 1881, he taught at the Komaba Agricultural School in Tokyo, and its successor, the Tokyo Agriculture and Forestry School (now a department within Tokyo University), and also conducted research into chemical fertilizers. He is considered the “father” of Japanese agricultural chemistry. His nutritional analysis of livestock feed was called the “Kellner Standard” and was subsequently adopted by the Japanese livestock industry. Kellner returned to Germany on 31 December 1892.

The Kellner rice fields at Komaba no Koen close to the University of Tokyo Komaba campus, serve as a lasting tribute to his research activities while in Japan.

gollark: Eventually I could even start signing the manifests so that you could safely download potatOS from *anywhere* and verify that it's the right thing easily.
gollark: So if it detects a new manifest, it can check the hashes of all stored files, redownload the changed ones, and verify them against the manifest.
gollark: Instead of just having potatOS ping pastebin every five minutes to check for new versions of the main code, it will be able to look for a manifest containing SHA256 hashes of all the files and also cryptographic signatures.
gollark: So I'm making a new updates system which will be able to allow "delta updates" and even cryptographic verification.
gollark: See, pastebin did things, so I figured it might be a good idea to start using things like "version control" a bit.
