Keijiro Kazamaki

A scholar of Japanese literature. Born in Hyogo Prefecture. Graduated from the Department of Japanese Literature at Tokyo Imperial University. Served as professor at Osaka Women's College, Nagano Women's College, Tokyo Music School (Tokyo University of the Arts), Shimizu Higher School of Mercantile Marine (later Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine, now Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology), and Beijing Fu Jen University. In 1947 (Showa 22), he became a professor at Hokkaido University, where he worked hard to establish the Faculty of Law and Letters. In 1983, he became a professor at Kansai University. In addition to his research on medieval waka poetry and The Tale of Genji, his innovative theories on literary history and criticism of civilization continue to be methodologically significant to this day. His many writings, including Shin Kokin Jidai (1936) and Nihon Bungakushi no Koso (Concept of Japanese Literature History) (1942), were systematized in the 10-volume Collected Works of Kazamaki Keijiro.
