Takeshi Osatake

Judicial officer and historian. Born on January 20, 1881, as the eldest son of Osa Take Tamotsu, a Kanazawa feudal samurai and Chinese scholar. After graduating from Meiji Law School (the predecessor to Meiji University) in 1899 (Meiji 32), he served as a judge in the Tokyo, Fukui, and Nagoya district courts, before becoming a judge at the Tokyo Court of Appeals in 1918 (Taisho 7) and a judge at the Supreme Court in 1921. He retired in December 1942 (Showa 17) to make way for his successors. He began researching Meiji history while he was a district court judge, and published research on Meiji cultural history, legal history, and constitutional history in the Chuo Horitsu Shinpo and Hogaku Shirin magazines, among others. His work on "Constitutional Thought Before and After the Meiji Restoration" was highly praised, and he became a doctor of law. In 1921, he founded the Meiji Culture Research Society together with Yoshino Sakuzo, Miyatake Gaikotsu, Ono Hideo, and others, and edited and published the 24-volume Meiji Culture Collection, making a great contribution to research on Meiji history. He established a style of academic study based on strict historical research, and wrote many books, including "Outline of Meiji Constitutional History" (1938) and "Research on Meiji Constitutional History" (1943). He passed away on October 1, 1946.
