Ah, 'Uncrating the Japanese House' on Junzo Yoshimura, Antonin and Noémi Raymond, and George Nakashima In 1953, Japanese architect Junzo Yoshimura designed a now-classic Japanese house and garden that he called @shofuso It was built in Nagoya, Japan, and shipped to New York in 1954, where it was exhibited @themuseumofmodernart and then relocated to Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. This extensively illustrated volume centers on Yoshimura’s design for Shofuso and two allied sites located in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania: @raymondfarmcenter (1939–41), a live-work residence built by Antonin and Noémi Raymond within the fabric of an existing 18th-century Quaker farmhouse; and Nakashima Studios, a complex of structures designed by George Nakashima over three decades (1947–77) to serve his furniture-making business and as his family’s home. This volume documents an exhibition of objects and ephemera mounted at Shofuso. New York–based architectural photographer Elizabeth Felicella captures each site in a portfolio of newly commissioned images. Essays by @kentadashi and @wwhitake illustrated with historical photographs, family snapshots and architectural drawings, further elucidate this important chapter in the history of modern architecture and design. Pictured here: Shofuso, Nakashima Studios and the Raymond Farm.
