	Okura Kishichiro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baron Kishichiro Okura (1882-1963, 大倉喜七郎 Okura Kishichiro in Japanese) studied at Trinity College, Cambridge from 1903 to 1906 but he did not manage to graduate from Cambridge University.
		He was the playboy son of Kihachiro Okura (1837-1928) who as an entrepreneur built up the Okura-gumi and founded the giant Okura zaibatsu (family trust) and the Okura Shogyo Gakko which later became Tokyo Keizai University (Tokyo University of Economics) in 1949.
		Kishichiro competed in the first ever car race held at Brooklands in Surrey on July 6, 1907 and came second.

	Old Tokyo - Okura Shukokwan
		Kihachiro's son, Kishichiro (1882-1963), earned a reputation as a dashing playboy (he is credited with introducing the automobile into Japan) but went on to ably manage the Imperial Hotel as its president during the 1920s and 1930s.
		Kishichiro would also add to the family legacy by developing the chain of Okura hotels in the postwar years.
		The greatest legacy of the family could be argued to be their establishment of the Okura Shukokwan (gather old building), a museum collection originally of Buddhist art opened to the public by the elder Okura on the family estate near Roppongi in 1917 and added to in the ensuing years by the younger Okura.

		The son of one of Japan’s most powerful and wealthy businessmen, Baron Okura was educated at Cambridge in the early 1900’s.
		After returning from Britain, Okura dreamt of creating a country estate in Japan like those he admired in the English countryside.
		Okura’s vision evolved from a woodsy retreat to a first-class golf resort and hotel, and certainly he had the experience, having built the Kyoto Hotel in Kyoto and Tokyo’s Imperial Hotel.
