This article introduces Shigeichi Kure (1897–1977), a pioneer of Classical literature studies in Japan. Kure’s numerous translations of Classical literature, from a translation studies perspective, involved two principal strategies, foreignization and domestication. His translation style is sometimes described as unique and there are arguments both for and against his translations. However, it is certain that he successfully melded the foreign and domestic aspects of his translation work in such a way that he may be considered as the father of future Classical studies in Japan
