This is Yukawa's autobiography of his early years, written in
Japanese when he was fifty years old. It describes his family
background and the education and experience, both social and
intellectual, that helped to form his character and direct his
career. Especially valuable to the historian of science are his
discussions of scientific relationships with his colleague
Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, with his teacher Yoshio Nishina, and with his
students (who later became his collaborators): Sakata, Taketani,
and Kobayashi. The Story ends with the writing of his first
scientific paper in English, being the birth of the meson theory of
nuclear forces. Also included are the original paper of the meson
theory by Prof H Yukawa and an introduction by Prof L M Brown.
