• Exhibition Background:

Planned and supported by the NTHU Heritage Museum and facilitated by the University System of Taiwan (UST), the exhibition Hideki Yukawa: Humanistic World of a Master of Particle Physics— NCCU Edition brings the calligraphy of Hideki Yukawa, his family, and friends—generously donated by Professor Masao Tanigawa to NTHU—to the Special Collection Center of the Dah Hsian Seetoo Library at National Chengchi University (NCCU). Carrying forward the core narrative of the original exhibition, this traveling edition features 28 loaned artworks divided into three thematic sections:

Family Heritage and Kindred Scholars: A Lineage of Learning, A Circle of Literati
Displaying calligraphy, manuscripts, and paintings by Yukawa’s family members and his associates, demonstrating the intellectual network that shaped Yukawa's mind.

Yukawa as Poet-Scientist: A Universe Seen Through Verse and Brush
Showcasing his waka poetry and landscape paintings—a reflection of his contemplation of the universe through brush and ink.

Toward One World: Yukawa's Lifelong Pursuit of Peace
Highlighting Yukawa's works on postwar commitment to global peace movements and his profound sense of social responsibility.

As a university distinguished in the humanities and social sciences, NCCU has long championed the transmission of knowledge, civic engagement, and interdisciplinary dialogue. Building upon the foundation of the original exhibition, this iteration introduces the NCCU Perspective. By drawing upon library collections, academic journals, and historical archives, it revisits Yukawa's academic influence, intellectual trajectory, and his profound response to his era. Through the dynamic interplay between science and the humanities, collections and research, as well as the historical and the contemporary, this exhibition forges new connections of knowledge across institutions, disciplines, and eras.
