Live and act

Ishiguro Tadaatsu was the eldest son of the army doctor Ishiguro Tadanori (石 黒 忠 悳; 1845-1941). After graduating from the Tokyo University Faculty of Law in 1908, he entered the Ministry of Agriculture and Trade (later the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry). There he worked as office manager, then as deputy minister, but left the ministry in 1934.

He now exercised various activities, was president of the "Nōson Kōsei Kyōkai" (農村 厚生 協会) and president of the "Sangyō Kumiai Chūō Kinko" (産業 組合 中央 金庫). During the Pacific War , Ishiguro was Minister of Agriculture twice, in 1941 in the Konoe II cabinet and in 1945 in the Suzuki Kantarō cabinet (1945).

After the end of the war, Ishiguro was initially excluded from all public office. After the expulsion was lifted in 1952, he came to the House of Lords in a by-election and joined the Ryokufūkai there.

Ishiguro's concept of agriculture, based on national self-sufficiency, had a major influence on Japanese agricultural policy in the 1920s and 1930s. His period of activity was called "Ishiguro Nōsei" (石 黒 農 etwa), something like "Ishiguro-style agricultural policy", and he was also called "Nōsei no kamisama" (農 政 の 神 様), "God of agricultural policy".
