Setsuro Tamaru was my grandfather. He worked with Fritz Haber in Germany on researching the ammonia synthesis process and contributed substantially to the development of scientific research and education in Japan. Although I had never met him, I felt his existence while I grew up, since our house was built by him and had many artifacts brought back from Germany by my grandfather; e.g., a Bechstein upright piano upon which I practiced piano every day and Fritz Haber's portrait with his handwritten message hung on the wall. This is an account of my grandfather's life, concentrating on his relationship with Fritz Haber. This story goes back to a time more than a century ago.
玉置哲郎是我的祖父。他曾在德国与弗里茨·哈伯合作研究氨合成工艺，为日本的科研和教育发展做出了重大贡献。虽然我从未见过他，但在我成长过程中能感受到他的存在，因为我们家的房子是他建造的，还有许多祖父从德国带回来的文物；比如，一架贝希斯坦直立式钢琴，我每天都在上面练习钢琴，墙上挂着弗里茨·哈伯的画像，上面还有他的手写留言。这是关于我祖父生平的记述，重点讲述他与弗里茨·哈伯的关系。这个故事要追溯到一个多世纪以前。
