Takamasa Mitani

Educator and philosopher. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture. After graduating from the First Higher School, he graduated from the Faculty of Law, Tokyo Imperial University. He taught law and German as a professor at the Sixth Higher School, Shizuoka Higher School, First Higher School and other former high schools. Influenced by Nitobe Inazo and Uchimura Kanzo, he converted to Christianity while in high school, and throughout his life he taught students with a sense of mission based on his deep faith. From the standpoint of a believer, he particularly studied Augustine, and left behind works on theology and philosophy, which are included in the Collected Works of Mitani Takamasa.
