Satô Tsuneji was a medical doctor, fourth head of the [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]] [[Juntendo|Juntendô]], and director of the Juntendô Hospital (''Juntendô bun'in'').
He was born in Komoro-machi, in [[Nagano prefecture]], the second son of Ôta Hiroshi, a judge in the [[Chiba prefecture]] judicial system. In [[1900]], he married the third daughter of [[Sato Shunkai|Satô Shunkai]], head of the Sakura Juntendô medical school, and was adopted into the [[Sato family (Juntendo)|Satô family]], changing his name from Ôta Tsuneji to Satô Tsuneji.
After graduating from the (pre-)medical program at the Chiba prefecture First High School (which later became the medical school of Chiba University), in [[1901]] he traveled to Europe to study medicine further. Returning to Japan, he studied under Shunkai at the Juntendô for a time, and following Shunkai's death in [[1911]], succeeded him as head of the institution. In addition to maintaining the original Juntendô school & research center, Tsuneji worked to establish an additional Juntendô Hospital, a short distance away, near the present-day site of the JR Sakura train station.
Tsuneji also served as the head of the Society for Japanese Medical History for a period, and worked to ensure that the precious documents and artifacts held by the Juntendô would be conserved and secure.
A passionate calligrapher, Tsuneji employed the signature Butsugai as a poetic pseudonym.
