Yoshida Tetsurō

Yoshida Tetsurō

▪ Japanese architect
born May 18, 1894, Fukuno, Toyama prefecture, Japan
died Sept. 8, 1956

      Japanese architect who spread knowledge of Japan's architecture to the West and at the same time introduced Western motifs in his own works.

      While on a visit to Europe during 1931–32, Yoshida met the German architects Hugo Häring and Ludwig Hilberseimer. At their urging, he wrote a book, The Japanese House (1935), explaining Japanese architecture to the West. Two other books, one on Japanese architecture and the other on the Japanese garden, were published in 1952 and 1957, respectively. Yoshida's interest in Western architecture is reflected in his own works, such as the post office at Kyōto (1922), the town hall at Beppu (1928), the general post offices at Tokyo (1931) and Ōsaka (1939), and a bank at Niigata (1951).
