This paper examines an important aspect of the history of the establishment of geophysics in japan during the early twentieth century, a field which later became a significant part of the country's geoscience education. The author focuses on the institutionalization of geophysics in Japanese universities, especially Kyoto Imperial University in the years 1909-1936, when the physicist and seismologist Toshi Shida (1876-1936) established its Geophysical Institute and its associated observatory stations. This enterprise, the first of its kind in Japan, was conducted by Shida in the following stages: 1. his appointment to the professorship in geophysics in the Institute of Physics in 1918; 2. the foundation in 1924 of the Institute of Geophysics, which included physical oceanography and meteorology in its remit; and 3. the establishment of the Aso Volcanological Observatory in Kyushu in 1928. As a background to these developments, the crucial roles of two other figures are examined: the Cambridge-trained mathematician Dairoku Kikuchi (1855-1917), who was president of the University, and the astrophysicist Shinzo Shinjo (1873-1938), a colleague of Shida who had studied at Gottingen University in 1905-1907. The limitations of the enterprise as well as the shaping of the research school are discussed.
