He visited Cambridge and stayed a night there, but gave up the idea of studying at the university because he could not afford it on his government scholarship. In 1900, the Japanese government sent Sōseki to study in Great Britain as "Japan's first Japanese English literary scholar". Natsume Sōseki's lodgings in Clapham, South London Sōseki graduated in 1893, and enrolled for some time as a graduate student and part-time teacher at the Tokyo Normal School. In 1891 he produced a partial English translation of the classical work Hōjōki upon request by his then English literature professor James Main Dixon. In 1890, he entered the English Literature department, and quickly mastered the English language. From this point on, he began signing his poems with the epithet Sōseki, a Chinese idiom meaning "stubborn". Shiki tutored him in the art of composing haiku. In 1887, Sōseki met Masaoka Shiki, a friend who would give him encouragement on the path to becoming a writer, which would ultimately be his career. Although he preferred Chinese classics, he started studying English at that time, feeling that it might prove useful to him in his future career, as English was a necessity in Japanese college.

A childless couple, Shiobara Masanosuke and his wife, adopted him in 1868 and raised him until the age of nine, when the couple divorced. Having five children and a toddler had created family insecurity and was in some ways a disgrace to the Natsume family. When he was born, he already had five siblings. Sōseki began his life as an unwanted child, born to his mother late in her life, forty years old and his father then fifty-three. He was a descendant of Natsume Yoshinobu, a Sengoku period samurai and retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu. His father, a powerful and wealthy nanushi, owned all land from Ushigome to Takadanobaba in Edo and handled most civil lawsuits at his doorstep.
