Life

[edit]

Sugitani was born on November 13, 1892[1] as Tameyoshi Reizei, the son of Viscount Reizei Tameisa of the Reizei family. He was then adopted by Baron Sugitani Tokinaga,[1][2] and changed his name to Yoshitoki in 1915.[3] Following his father's retirement, he succeeded his father's baronetcy on October 1, 1929.[1][2][4]

In July 1919, Sugitani graduated from the Imperial University of Tokyo, having majored in history.[2][5][6] He continued his studies at the Imperial University of Tokyo in politics, graduating in 1922.[2][5] He entered The Tokyo Electric Light Company the same year.[5]

Sugitani served as an instructor and a magistrate at the Utakai Hajime. He also served as sankō (a high-ranking official waiting) in the Outa-dokoro of the Ministry of the Imperial Household.[2][5]

On July 10, 1932, Sugitani was elected to the House of Peers as a baron member,[7][8] representing Kōseikai. He served as a member of the House of Peers until May 2, 1947, when the House of Peers was abolished.[5]

Sugitani served as a member of the coordinating committee of the Chuo Electric Power, a member of the Organic Synthesis Business Committee, and a commissioner of the Department of Justice. He also served as a founding committee member of the Nihon Sankin Shinkō.[5]

Sugitani died on May 3, 1965.[5]
