​【Description】

Takuji Ogawa was the birth father of Hideki Yukawa. Born into the Asai family as the second son of the Confucian scholar Asai Atsushi, he later became the adopted son-in-law of Komakitsu Ogawa (1844–1922), a retainer of the Kishu Domain. From an early age, Ogawa was deeply immersed in the study of classical Chinese texts, reading the Four Books and Five Classics at his father’s private academy even before entering formal schooling.
He graduated from the Department of Geology at Tokyo Imperial University and subsequently joined the Geological Survey of Japan. In 1908, he was appointed professor of geography at Kyoto Imperial University, where he played a pivotal role in the development of modern geography and geology in Japan.
Two calligraphic works by Takuji Ogawa are presented here. One transcribes a passage from a letter by Su Shi (1037–1101). The other is a self-composed Chinese poem, inscribed with a note indicating it was written while traveling to Beijing. Ogawa undertook multiple research journeys to China, making significant contributions to the development of modern Japanese studies of Chinese geography and geology.
