Takagi Saburō

Takagi Saburō

Takagi Saburō (高木三郎)(17 January 1841 - 28 March 1909) was a Japanese diplomat and businessman of the Meiji period, and the first Japanese Consul General to New York.

The son of a samurai from Shōnai Domain, Takagi entered naval training school in 1859, and after that studied abroad in the United States. Following his studies, he remained in the United States, and served as diplomatic secretary beginning in 1871. He resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, however, in 1880, and became director of a silk company in Yokohama. His company was famous for its efforts to improve sericulture methods and techniques of the spinning industry.
