Baron Ijūin Hikokichi (伊集院 彦吉, Ijūin Hikokichi; 22 July 1864  – 26 April 1924) was a Japanese diplomat and politician who served as minister of foreign affairs and Japanese ambassador to the Qing dynasty.

Early life

Ijūin was born on 22 July 1864,[1][2] in Kōrai, Kagoshima, Satsuma Domain, the eldest son of samurai Ijūin Kichitsugu.[3]

Career

Ijūin was appointed consul at Yantai in China in 1893.[4] He served again in China as consul general at Tianjin from 1901 to 1907.[4] He was appointed ambassador to Beijing in 1908.[5] On 4 September 1909, he signed the Japan–China Agreement concerning Kando as the Japanese ambassador to the Qing dynasty in Beijing.[6] During the Chinese Revolution broke out in October 1911, together with then Foreign Minister Uchida Yasuya, he argued for the provision of support to the Qing government.[7] His term as ambassador to China lasted until 1913.[4]

Then, Ijūin was appointed the Japanese ambassador to Italy in 1916 and was in office until 1920.[1] During his tenure, he was one of the leading members of Japanese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.[6] Ijūin is described as a conservative ambassador.[8]

Japanese delegates to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. Standing (l to r) - Ijūin Hikokichi, Japanese Ambassador to Italy; and Keishirō Matsui, Japanese Ambassador to France; Seated (l to r) - Baron Makino Nobuaki, former Foreign Minister; Marquis Saionji Kinmochi, former Prime Minister; and Viscount Chinda Sutemi, Japanese Ambassador to Great Britain.

Prime Minister Hara Takashi wanted Ijūin to search for European institutions of public information when the latter was ambassador and a Versailles delegate.[9] Ijūin reported that the best way to create an influential information bureau was to coordinate all information sources, including army, navy and finance ministry.[9] Eventually, a public information office, Gaimu-shō Jōhō-bu, in the ministry of foreign affairs was established on 13 August 1921, and Ijūin was appointed its head.[9][10] Then he served as governor-general of Kwantung Leased Territory in northeastern China for one year.[11] He was appointed to the post on 8 September 1922, replacing Isaburō Yamagata.[12] Ijūin was in office until 19 September 1923.[13][14]

Ijūin was appointed minister of foreign affairs on 19 September 1923 to the second cabinet of Yamamoto Gombee,[15][16] replacing him who also assumed the role of foreign minister briefly from 2 to 19 September.[15] Ijūin was replaced by Keishirō Matsui on 7 January 1924 when a new cabinet was formed by Kiyoura Keigo.[16]

Personal life and death

Ijūin was married to Ōkubo Toshimichi's daughter, Yoshiko.[1] Thus, he was the brother-in-law of Makino Nobuaki.[1]

Shortly after his removal from the office, Ijūin died of neuralgia in Tokyo in April 1924.[6][17]
