was a Japanese statesman in the Meiji and Taishō periods. ==Biography== Shōda was born in Matsuyama Domain, Iyo Province on October 19 1869, as the 5th son of a poor ''samurai''. The poet Masaoka Shiki and admiral Akiyama Saneyuki were his friends from childhood. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University in 1895, and obtained a position at the Ministry of Finance.〔Metzler, Lever of Empire. Page 89 〕 In 1915, he rose to the position of director of the Bank of Chosen. 〔Metzler, Lever of Empire. Page 94 〕 He was appointed Finance Minister under the Terauchi〔Beasley, Japanese Imperialism 1894-1945. page 117〕 and Kiyoura administrations, 〔Metzler, Lever of Empire. Page 147 〕 and Education Minister under the Tanaka administration. In 1938, he was considered for the post of Home Minister under the 2nd Konoe administration, a somewhat surprising choice, given his age and lack of experience in the Home Ministry, and the nomination was rejected by Emperor Hirohito. He died on October 10, 1948. ==References== *Beasley. W.G. ''Japanese Imperialism 1894-1945''. Oxford University Press (1991) ISBN 0-19-822168-1 *Metzler, Mark.
