Product details

In May 1954, Ise Gropius (1897–1983) embarked on a three-month journey to Japan alongside the renowned architect Walter Gropius. The tightly scheduled itinerary of their tour, organized by the International House of Japan and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, brought them into contact with architects, artisans, artists, journalists, and university professors. Ise Gropius proved to be a gifted chronicler in addition to her role as her husband’s promoter and speechwriter. In detailed reports—her only known cohesive texts from the post-war period—she vividly describes the land and its people. She comments on lectures, discussions about reconstruction, evening gatherings, and the Bauhaus exhibition in Tokyo with as much humor and insight as she does on the role of Japanese women, Zen Buddhism, or the local cuisine. Extensively commented on by the editor and supplemented by contributions from Anne Hultzsch and Shuntaro Nozawa, this volume makes Ise Gropius’ travel reports available for the first time as a facsimile.
