In 1880 he was invited by the Japanese government to the fledgling University of Tokyo in Japan. After Friedrich Wilhelm Karl Doenitz and Johann Ernst pot he was the third German who built the anatomical education in the Faculty of Medicine. From this time a 1882 printed for the classroom " floor plan of Human Anatomy " is obtained. 1885 returned Yoshikiyo Koganei (小 金井 良 精) back from Berlin. He had brought it in Waldeyer, who taught in Berlin since 1883 as the successor to Karl Reichert Bogislaus up to the wizard and has now been appointed in September of that year, the first Japanese professor of anatomy.
