8????????????? [= Eighth Frank Lloyd Wright tour] [cover title]. Author: Endo, Raku Title: 8????????????? [= Eighth Frank Lloyd Wright tour] [cover title] Publication: [Tokyo: 1997]. Description: Large 8vo, pp. [2], [68] (paginated to 33 on rectos only); text in Japanese and English; architectural images and plans throughout; printed pictorial wrappers, fine. With a list in English of attendees, a six-page pamphlet on the architecture of Minneapolis’ Christ Church Lutheran, and a typescript letter signed from William F. Davis to the pastor of the Church soliciting the pamphlet all laid in. Davis was an apprentice of Wright and friend of Endo, the last Japanese apprentice of Wright’s before Wright’s death. He led annual tours with groups of Japanese architects through the US, not just to see Wright’s buildings Fallingwater, Beth Sholom etc. But also notable buildings from other architects, such as the Lutheran church above and the Rasmussen house of Lake Forest, Illinois, built by another of Wright’s apprentices, Robert R. All in all, sixteen sites are listed and briefly described. Printed for the twenty-three members of the tour and their companions, so the edition was likely a small one. Not found in OCLC.
