Junzo Yoshimura, the Architect who introduced Japanese architectural culture to the U.S.

Junzo Yoshimura (September 7, 1908 – April 11, 1997) Yoshimura was an architect who traveled between Japan and the U.S. during World War II, introducing Japanese architectural culture to the United States.
In 1940, Yoshimura was invited by Antonin Raymond, who had returned to New Hope, Pennsylvania, to live with Antonin and Noemi Raymond (husband and wife) for 14 months until just before the outbreak of war, and experienced up close the simple spaces of colonial architecture and the skyscrapers of New York City. This experience led Yoshimura to rediscover elements of modern architecture latent in the Japanese architectural tradition.

After the war, Yoshimura incorporated the modern life he had experienced in the U.S. into Japanese architecture, while simultaneously bringing Japanese sensibilities and ideas into the architecture of the Shofuso, the courtyard of MoMA, the Japan Society of New York, the Motel on the Mountain, the Rockefeller House and the Tea Room, all of which are still standing in New York State.
