Biography
Prince Takahito was born in Kyoto as the son of Prince Arisugawa Tsunahito. He succeeded his father as the head of the Arisugawa-no-miya house on 2 April 1845. On 2 June 1848, he married Nijō Hiroko (1819-1875): the daughter of "Sadaijin" Nijō Narinobu. He had four sons and four daughters.
After the Meiji Restoration, he served as chief of "Jingikan" (Department of Shinto Affairs). The prince was a master of "waka poetry" and calligraphy. The official copy of the Meiji Charter Oath was in his handwriting, and he supplied many inscriptions for various Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. His pen-name was Shōzan.
Prince Takahito resigned as head of the Arisugawa-no-miya house in favor of his eldest son, Prince Arisugawa Taruhito, on 9 September 1871. He died in Tokyo on 24 January 1886.
