Obituary -- Yomiuri Shimbun (newspaper), Tuesday, October 13, 1998

Kono Rokuro, Professor Emeritus, Tokyo Pedagogical University, Linguistics

Professor Kono passed away at the age of 85 by a brain stroke at 9:46 p.m.
on October 7.  Funeral was held by only close relatives on October 10.  A
farewell party will be held at Meikei Kaikan, Otsuka 1-5-23, Bunkyo-ku,
Tokyo, Japan from 4:30 p.m. on November 29.  Home address is Toyogaoka
4-2-5-503, Tama-shi, Tokyo, Japan.  The chief mourner is his eldest son,
Hayao.

Professor Kono studied the development of the grammar and the accentual
system from 15th- and 16th-century Korean to Modern Seoul dialect.  He also
left remarkable achievements in the comparative study of Egyptian
hieroglyphs, cuneiform characters, and Chinese characters.  He was commended
officially as a person of cultural merits in 1993.
