Hōjō Tokiyuki (Scouting)

Hōjō Tokiyuki (北条 時敬, March 23, 1858 – April 27, 1929) was an educator, mathematician and politician in Meiji period Japan.

In 1885, Hōjō graduated from the Mathematics Department, Science Faculty of Tokyo Imperial University.

In 1908, Hōjō attended an international conference on morality in London, England, at the request of Japanese Minister of Culture, Makino Nobuaki (牧野伸顕).

One of the reasons for his trip was to conduct a survey of the British Scouting organization, and its applicability towards furthering the Japanese government's program of instilling moral education in schools.

In 1920, Hōjō became an advisor to the Imperial Court, and was appointed a member of the House of Peers of the Diet of Japan.
