Nozoe Tetsuo was born in Sendai, one of the major cities in northern Japan, and studied chemistry at Tohoku Imperial University in that city. Shortly after his graduation in 1926, he was sent by his mentor, Majima Riko, a leading organic chemist, to Formosa or Taiwan, then a Japanese colony, to become one of the first professors of chemistry in a colonial Imperial University. While working in Taiwan, Nozoe discovered hinokitiol, the first, seven-membered aromatic compound in oil, extracted from Taiwan hinoki, a native conifer found in high mountainous areas in Taiwan. The paper will analyze and situate Nozoe's research in its colonial context, especially the role played by the Imperial University's Faculty of Science and Agriculture in Nozoe's work.
