219:(in this area he was one of the pioneers in Japan), he authored many popular books and articles on the latest achievements of science. At the end of 1922, Ishiwara hosted Einstein during his visit to Japan; he recorded and published a number of speeches by Einstein, including his Kyoto address, in which Einstein, for the first time, detailed his path to the creation of the theory of relativity. The two-volume monograph of Ishiwara, titled "Fundamental Problems of Physics", was very popular among young scientists and specialists; he also edited the first complete collection of Einstein's works, published in a Japanese translation in 1922-1924. In addition, Ishiwara was known as a poet who wrote poems in the genre of 507:. Ishiwara showed that this new hypothesis can be used to reproduce some quantum effects known at that time. Thus, he succeeded in obtaining an expression for the quantization of the angular momentum in the Bohr atom, taking into account also the ellipticity of electron orbits, although it followed from his theory the need to take the charge of the nucleus of the hydrogen atom equal to two elementary charges. As a second application of the proposed hypothesis, Ishiwara considered the problem of the 511:, obtaining a linear relationship between the electron energy and the radiation frequency in accordance with the Einstein formula. Later in the same year Ishiwara put forward another hypothesis, according to which the product of the energy of the atom and the period of electron motion in the stationary state should be equal to the integer number of Planck constants. In 1918, he linked the postulate proposed three years earlier to the theory of 82: 543:
before the sum). At the same time, his quantum condition, which differed from Sommerfeld's one in the presence of summation, allowed to obtain correct results regardless of the choice of coordinates. This was pointed out in 1917 by Einstein, who, not knowing about the work of Ishiwara, derived the

Ishiwara was one of the first Japanese scholars to turn to the theory of relativity; he wrote the first scientific article in Japan on this subject. In 1909-1911, he studied within the framework of this theory a number of specific problems related to the dynamics of electrons, the propagation of
