Reminiscences are given out of the early stages of the development in x-ray crystallography, both in Japan and abroad. Activities in Prof. Ewald's school in Germany, those of Prof. Bragg's in England, Prof. Terada's and Nishikawa's in Japan are described.Prof. Nishikawa's contribution concerning the space group theory in the structure analysis is brought to attention. Early works of Prof. Nitta on organic crystals are also described.Some x-ray photographs taken by Prof. Nishikawa and Prof. Nitta in the early period from 1913 to 1925 are reproduced.
