Version of Record

Kojirna Torajiro was born in 1881 in Okayama. In 1902, when he enterd Tokyo Unversity of the Arts, he met Ohara Magosaburo who was a businessman in Kurashiki. Magosaburo supported Torajiro not only for his living but also for his art work. Magosaburo helped Torajiro go to Europe to study art. The main activities of Kojima were painting around the world and collecting European paintings. Earlier study of Kojima Torajiro took large steps in three stages. First, basic literature was written by his relatives in the 1960's. Second, his materials was ordered，and his autobiography was completed in 1990's when the Nariwa Museum was established. Third，the Ohara Museum analyze Torajiro's works from different views and made new data on the occasion of his 130 birthday. I introduce these earlier studies and make new hypotheses. In addition to these precedence studies, I analyze Torajiro's accounts of his Asian journey which are included in "Kojima Koichiro's Kojima Torajiro sanju kaiki kushoshi" (In memoriam Kojima Torajiro 32 years agter his death') .These are difficult to obtain，so this is his first study of them. I have found that Torajiro visited welfare institutions，and I analyze his humanittarian thought, which was influenced by his father-in-law Ishi Juji.
