From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jūji Tanabe (田部重治 Tanabe Jūji, August 4, 1884 - September 22, 1972) was a Japanese literature scholar, teacher, and mountain climber.^[1]

Tanabe was born in Toyama City. He majored in English literature at Tokyo Imperial University, specializing in William Wordsworth. He lectured at Toyo University and Hosei University.^[1]

He climbed the Japanese Alps and Okuchichibu Mountains.^[1] He wrote a book "The Japanese Alps and a pilgrimage to Chichibu" (日本アルプスと秩父巡礼 Nippon Alps to Chichibu junrei) in 1919.^[1] This book was republished as "Mountains and ravines" (山と渓谷 yama to keikoku) in 1930.

Tanabe and his friend Kogure Ritarō (1873 - 1944)'s accounts of the Okuchichibu Mountains have become influential. There is a monument to them at the foot of the Mt. Kimpu (金峰山, Kinpu-san) (2599 m).
