Move to George Ohsawa
From what I understand, the "Georges" spelling was basically used while he was in France. In his English publications his name is spelled "George". His namesake foundation spells it "George". Is there any good reason to use the French spelling here?

Also, the Google results seem to show more currency for the English spelling.
 * "george ohsawa" -wikipedia = 14700 hits
 * "georges ohsawa" -wikipedia = 10100 hits

It seems to me there is little question that "George" is correct in English. --Dforest 05:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I decided to go ahead and boldly move this. --Dforest 05:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

74 or 72?
How so "Ohsawa died of a heart attack at the age of 74"? If George Ohsawa was born in November 1893 and died in April 1966, he was 72 and not 74 years, isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14D:4C82:1B11:0:0:0:1 (talk) 13:53, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Hufeland
The following was removed as speculative:
 * It is presumed that he got the Western name for his movement from a book written by Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, a Prussian physician. It is known that Ohsawa spent time in Europe with a descendant of Hufeland.

When a reference is supplied, the assertion may be restored. — Rgdboer (talk) 23:54, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

George Ohsawa and alchemy?
Is there anything about George Ohsawa and alchemy??

His name pops up along with alchemy.

 * Ohsawa was a student of Sagen Ishizuka who was concerned with chemistry of minerals Na and K, now connected in the sodium pump. The term "alchemy" is obsolete having been overtaken by knowledge of the elements and their reactions. — Rgdboer (talk) 02:01, 3 December 2022 (UTC) — correction Rgdboer (talk) 02:03, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
