Toshio Egawa (born on 4 November 1935), is a businessman, author, journalist, art collector and karate martial artist. His business career led him and his family to travel extensively and reside in Singapore, London, England, New York, Los Angeles and Frankfurt.
In September 2016, Mr Toshio Egawa gave his life-long private archive collection to ISEAS Library. This followed an earlier and generous donation of close to 1,000 publications in 2010. The core of this new collection includes 508 reference books that he had consulted for his own research; over 1,000 pieces of calligraphic works, historical letters and manuscripts, first day covers, photographs and paintings related to prominent figures in Japan predominantly Meiji-Taisho period; and some 500 research notes in manuscript form, ranging a wide spectrum of subjects including history, philosophy, economics, and arts. This catalogue serves as a gateway to the study of many aspects of Japanese history and culture, from the eyes of Toshio Egawa.
