My Take
Nakagawa held three of the heaviest portfolios in Japan: agriculture, trade and industry, then finance. A University of Tokyo law graduate and unbending LDP conservative, he negotiated hard on farming and trade and received the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun. He left the finance post in February 2009 and died that October, aged 56.
