Abstract
Through a domestic search as well as the one in Paris, I made clear the early life of Hisashi Terao, the first director of Tokyo Astronomical Observatory, his astronomical education in Paris, and the subsequent relation with the famous painter Seiki Kuroda. In particular, the origin and role of Montsouris Astronomical Training School were discussed.
