Goodbye to Japanese photographer Yukio Futagawa

For sixty years, Yukio Futagawa published his own publishing numerous works always focused on architecture, and continued until his last days traveling around the world for half a year to photograph buildings.

Futagawa considered photography as a vehicle to define and document the architecture and experts say their large selection of photographs of buildings will define a chapter in the history of this art.

The trip architectural Futagawa, who always refused to be called a photographer and whose work was exhibited in museums or galleries, began as a student looking for a better understanding of classical Japanese.

One of his most important works is a series of ten volumes "Japanese Traditional Houses" published in the 50s and where he managed to capture the work of the most famous Japanese architects of that era.

Futagawa was the founder of the publishing house in 1970 ADA EDIT addition responsible for the photographic journal GA.
