In conjunction with the “Shofuso and Modernism: Architecture and Design of George Nakashima, Antonin and Noémi Raymond, and Junzo Yoshimura” exhibit at Shofuso – the Japanese House and Garden in Philadelphia, the Raymond Farm Center for Living Arts and Design (RFC) in New Hope will host limited tours on Saturdays from Sept. 26 through Nov. 14.
Presented in one of Yoshimura’s pivotal works, Shofuso (1954), this exhibition features original furniture and textile designs, documentary film, and an installation of newly commissioned photography, to explore this circle’s connections with Japan and the translation of those experiences into design and built architectural work in the Philadelphia region during the middle years of the 20th century.
