Jun Ishihara

Japanese: 石原純 - いしはらじゅん

Born: January 15, 1881 in Tokyo
[Died] January 19, 1947. Chiba. Theoretical physicist and poet. Graduated from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Tokyo Imperial University in 1906. Became an assistant professor at Tohoku Imperial University (1911), studied in Germany and Switzerland under A. Sommerfeld, and became a professor at Tohoku Imperial University (14). He conducted pioneering research in Japan on the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and was awarded the Imperial Academy Prize in 1919. Later, he left the university due to a love affair with the poet Hara Asao (21). After that, he made a great contribution to the dissemination of natural science, especially physics, through his writing activities and the magazine Kagaku. As a poet (whose poetic name was Atoshi), he sympathized with Shiki and belonged to Araragi, but later participated in the founding of Nikko (24), making his anti-Araragi stance clear, and turned to free verse colloquial poetry. The collection of poems "Aijitsu" (22) shows the last style of the Araragi period, but it also experimented with new forms such as line breaks. In his later years, he became known more as a theorist than as a poet.

理論物理学者，歌人。 1906年東京帝国大学理科大学物理学科卒業。東北帝国大学助教授 (1911) ，ドイツとスイスに留学，A.ゾンマーフェルトに師事。東北帝国大学教授 (14) 。相対性理論と量子論について日本における先駆的研究を行い，1919年帝国学士院恩賜賞受賞。のちに，歌人原阿佐緒との恋愛事件のため大学を辞した (21) 。以後，著作活動や雑誌『科学』などを通して，物理学を中心とする自然科学の普及に大きく貢献した。歌人 (歌名は阿都志) としては子規に共鳴して『アララギ』に属したが，のち『日光』の創刊 (24) に参加して反アララギ派の態度を鮮明にし，自由律の口語歌に走った。歌集『靉日 (あいじつ) 』 (22) はアララギ時代の最後の歌風を示すものであるが，改行などの新しい形式も試みられている。晩年は実作者としてよりも理論家として知られた。
