During the last half of the nineteenth century both the United States of America and the Empire of Japan were engaged in constructing their own scientific communities. This paper examines the contact points of their paths towards scientific and technical modernity in the decades immediately following the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Beginning with the efforts of Mori Arinori and others to establish western-style institutions of learning and knowledge dissemination, the paper discusses the role of Americans and American-trained Japanese scientists in the establishment of biological laboratories and experimental physics laboratories at Tokyo University as part of a broader, community-building endeavor.
