MEMORIAL TO HISASHI KUNO 1910-1969
HELEN L. FOSTER
U. S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California
Professor Hisashi Kuno, an Honorary Fellow
of The Geological Society of America since
1958, died of cancer in Tokyo, Japan, on
August 6, 1969. The loss of Dr. Kuno is keenly
felt in scientific circles throughout the world
where he had become known as a leader and
original thinker. No discussion of pyroxenes,
basalts, andesites, or upper mantle problems
was complete without Professor Kuno or ref
erence to his work.
Hisashi Kuno was born in central Tokyo, the
Kanda district, on January 7, 1910, the eldest
child of Kamenosuke and Tome Kuno. His
father was an artist specializing in Japanese
painting. Kuno commenced his education in the Negishi Primary School
in Tokyo and in Tokyo Metropolitan 5th Junior High School. He then
attended the Second High School in Sendai, a school noted for starting
many outstanding Japanese geologists on their careers. Here, young Kuno
preferred skiing and mountain climbing to study but, nevertheless, became
sufficiently interested in geology to choose it as his life work. Several of
his fellow students also became noted geologists, and as is traditional in
Japan, he and his classmates maintained a close comradeship throughout
life. In later years, whenever possible, Kuno returned to a mountain hut
on Mt. Zao west of Sendai for climbing, skiing, and reminiscing with his
school friends.
In 1929 Kuno entered Tokyo Imperial University (now University of
Tokyo). Even though the Geological Institute at Tokyo Imperial University
had long been staffed with outstanding foreign and Japanese geologists,
this was a particularly stimulating period in Japanese science and geology.
The National Research Council had been organized in 1920, and one of its
publications, “Japanese Journal of Geology and Geography,” came into
existence two years later. The 1923 Tokyo earthquake disaster had given
additional impetus to the study of seismology and related subjects. Seitaro
Tsuboi was in the midst of outstanding work on volcanic rocks, pyroxenes,
and other petrographic and geologic problems. Thus, it is not surprising
that Kuno, an energetic young man, became engrossed in the field of petrology
and volcanology and concentrated his entire attention on his studies at
the Geological Institute.

Early in his university career, Kuno commenced his classic study of
Hakone Volcano, doing the largest part of the field work between 1931
and 1937. During this time, he began to develop his ideas on pyroxenes
and andesites. However, World War II intervened and he was drafted into
the Japanese Army. Even while serving as a soldier in Manchuria, Kuno
managed to make geologic observations on Manchurian basalts and peg
matites and bring sufficient material from Manchuria to produce several
papers.
The years following World War II were difficult ones. Kuno came back
from Manchuria to a crowded, war-devastated city. Housing was scarce,
expensive, and inadequate. Salaries at the University were meager and
working conditions were poor. For instance, the University buildings were
unheated in the winter. Public transportation was crowded and often unsafe,
but was the only way to get to the field. It was a discouraging and depres
sing atmosphere in which to return to research and teaching. In spite of
the many difficulties, Kuno completed his manuscripts on the Hakone
region and, thereby, obtained a Doctor of Science degree in 1948. When
his work on the Hakone region, along with his conclusions on the origin
of the andesitic rocks and the role of the pyroxenes, were published in
English in 1950, they attracted world-wide attention and opened the way
for travel abroad.
In 1951, through a Geological Society of America grant, Kuno spent a
year at Princeton University at the invitation of Harry Hess. Although
Dr. Kuno and Dr. Hess often disagreed regarding aspects of the crystalliza
tion of pyroxenes, they deeply respected each other's ideas and became
fast friends. On this first trip abroad, Kuno traveled across the continent
mainly by bus to conserve money and to see more of the country. He was
eager to see the Stillwater complex in Montana but could find no way
to get there. With characteristic determination he took bus transportation
as far as possible and, then, set out on foot, walking more than 20 miles
just to reach the locality.
Kuno’s work continued to gain attention both in Japan and abroad and,
in 1954, he received the prize of the Japan Academy for his work on py
roxenes. The award was received in the presence of the Emperor of Japan
and is one of the highest national honors that can be achieved by a Japanese
scientist. This year was also marked by the publication of a book in
Japanese, Volcanoes and Volcanic Rocks, which became widely used as a
text in Japan.
In 1955 Hisashi Kuno was appointed to the coveted position of Professor
of Petrology of the University of Tokyo. Although his administrative and
teaching load continued to increase, his research and production of scientific
papers remained at a high level. He wrote in 1958 that he was becoming
HISASHI KUNO 29increasingly concerned with “petrological interpretation of the Mohorovicic
discontinuity.”
In June 1958 Dr. Kuno was dealt a severe blow when his doctor discovered an early stage of tuberculosis of the lungs. Complete rest was
ordered, and Kuno reluctantly gave up both research and administrative
duties. Characteristically, he took this major set-back in stride and used
his enforced rest to spend extra time with his family. Kuno made a rapid
recovery and, in a few months, was reading and writing scientific papers.
By the end of 1959, he was working almost full time developing and record
ing his ideas on high aluminum basalt.
In 1961 Dr. Kuno was invited to present one of the public lectures at
the Pacific Science Congress in Hawaii, a recognition of his ability to speak,
and in English, not only to the scientific community, but to the layman
as well. He also came to the United States under the auspices of the Amer
ican Geological Institute’s Visiting International Scientist Program and
visited 16 universities and educational institutions. Enroute back to Japan,
he went to Alaska for the first time. He was tremendously impressed with
the grandeur of the scenery and considered this visit one of the highlights
of his life. His insuppressible love of mountaineering led him to plan a
future traverse across a geologically little known and extremely rugged
part of the Chugach Mountains.
In 1962 the International Symposium on Volcanology was held in Japan,
and Dr. Kuno, as its General Secretary, had a major responsibility for
its organization. The meeting was such a great success that it became a
model for future international symposia.
Kuno’s activities in international scientific organizations continued to
increase, and in his later years he spent much time abroad. He was in demand as an invited speaker on problems of the upper mantle and genesis
of basaltic and andesitic rocks. In 1964 the University of Minnesota invited him as a visiting professor of petrology. He became much interested in
the petrology of the moon rocks and had been appointed one of the prin
cipal investigators in the NASA Research Program. Japanese geologists
and laymen alike were proud to be represented by Dr. Kuno in this endeavor
and were eagerly looking forward to his examination of the first rocks
from the moon. In fact, on July 21, only 15 days before his death, Dr.
Kuno participated in a nation-wide 10-hour NHK television program which
covered the lunar landing of the Apollo 11 astronauts. It is now known
that Dr. Kuno was critically ill at the time and was accompanied to the
television studio by a medical escort. It was a keen disappointment to all
that his untimely death denied Dr. Kuno the opportunity of studying the
rocks from the moon and applying his extensive and unique petrologic
knowledge.
30 THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
Dr. Kuno’s scientific interests were broad, and he was always willing to
aid and cooperate with a fellow scientist in another field. His studies of
the ash of the Fuji-san and Oshima volcanoes led him into anthropological and
archeological considerations. He cooperated with a team of scientists including botanists and zoologists in an over-all study of the Osegahara area
when it was threatened by flooding due to a proposed dam. Although a
U.S.-Japan cooperative program involved primarily geophysical research,
he was a major participant. He was interested in the Antarctic and assisted
in the organizing and training for Japan's first post-war expeditions there.
Although he was much engrossed in research, Dr. Kuno was also a dedi
cated and inspiring teacher. He was not bound by the tradition of the
Japanese University, but was alert to the needs of his students and junior
faculty. Kuno was quick to take advantage of the opportunities presented
by the residence of many foreign geologists in Japan after World War II
and, for example, participated, along with his students, in seminars that
he organized for practice in presenting scientific papers in English. He
gave a series of lectures in English on the geology of Japan, and many
American geologists benefited from his cogent explanations of Japanese
geology both in the field and in the office. He sponsored several visiting
research professorships in the Geological Institute, some of which were
held by American petrologists. He was tireless in helping his deserving
students arrange for foreign study and travel. During recent years of student
turmoil at the University of Tokyo, Dr. Kuno spent uncounted hours as
a counselor helping to bring peace to the campus.
Dr. Kuno’s interests in education were not limited to the University.
He frequently participated in radio and television programs for children
and the layman. He helped prepare and organize geological exhibits such
as a small geological museum at Lake Towada. Dr. Kuno enjoyed explain
ing geological concepts to children who commonly followed him in the
field. Apparently he had inherited some of his father’s artistic ability, because
he could quickly and clearly sketch geological features and diagram
structures.
Kuno’s basic geologic tools were excellent field work, detailed micro
scopic observations, and skillful use of chemical analyses. He tended to
approach geologic problems from the standpoint of the “field petrologist.”
He was a keen observer in the field and could quickly evaluate and assess
new geologic situations. Kuno believed in extensive field training for his
students and gave unstintingly of his time to students working in the field.
Dr. Kuno’s exceptional skill with the petrographic microscope never
ceased to amaze his colleagues and was probably a major factor in the
success of much of his early work. He had a great capacity for intensive
work and used his time with great efficiency. However, he rarely appeared
hurried and always seemed to find time for another project.
HISASHI KUNO 31Because of his extensive field work, Dr. Kuno was well known throughout
the Japanese countryside. He was eagerly welcomed by the mountain hut
keeper or in the home of the rice farmer, but was also an appreciated
guest in the more sophisticated hotels, particularly of the Hakone and
Fuji areas and on the Izu Peninsula.
Dr. Kuno’s service to his profession included leadership in many national
and international organizations. He was instrumental in reorganizing the
Volcanological Society of Japan and helped bring it to life in 1955 after
twenty years of inactivity, serving as its president from 1960 to 1968. The
Geological Society of Japan selected him as its president in 1968. He was
President of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry
of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI, 1963-67), Vice-President of the International
Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (1968-69), and Vice-President of the
International Union of Geological Sciences (1968-69). He was a Foreign
Associate of the U.S. Academy of Sciences, a member of the American Geo
physical Union, and a member of the IUGG Upper Mantle Committee. The
Mineralogical Society of America posthumously elected him an Honorary
Fellow.
Dr. Kuno was so dedicated to his work and concentrated so intensively
on it that many of his colleagues did not have the opportunity to know
many of his other fine traits. He was frank and honest, kind and con
siderate. He never burdened others with his personal problems, yet graciously
accepted their friendship. He loved his country, particularly its mountains
and volcanoes, and liked to share its beauty and culture with others, in
cluding his family, students, and many foreign friends. The rigorous and
often fierce wintry scenery of Mt. Fuji inspired him, and several times
he led winter climbing groups up its dangerous, icy slopes to the summit.
He admired the unusual plants and fished in the clear streams of the
mountain-encircled meadows of Osegahara; the beautiful cherry blossoms
of Chichibu were appreciated along with the study of the metamorphic
rocks; the unique customs of Oshima were expertly explained as one ob
served the geology. Many a happy evening was spent talking and singing
around the fires of the mountain huts.
Dr. Kuno was devoted to his family and particularly enjoyed taking
them on occasional holidays to the beach. He is sadly missed by his wife,
Kimiko, his daughter, Shizuko, and his son, Takashi. In the last days of
his life, Dr. Kuno had been looking forward most of all to two things,
studying the rocks from the moon and the birth of his first grandchild.
When a grandson was born only a month too late to see his grandfather,
the family named him “Akira” because the Japanese character for “Akira”
has a meaning related to the moon.
