Junzo Sakakura (1901–1969) spent seven years working in Le Corbusier’s atelier in Paris in the 1930s. Upon his return to Japan, he established his own practice and became an important proponent of the modernist movement. Sakakura later won a limited entry competition for the design of the Museum of Modern Art in Kamakura. The building comprises a second-storey white box supported on thin steel supports. For his design, the architect particularly took into consideration aspects such as the site, function, composition, and air circulation and humidity control. This book combines original drawings with present-day photography to paint a portrait of this remarkable building.
