Thank you to The Architect's Newspaper for their article on Shofuso and Modernism. Shofuso is considered an Utsushi, which Yokoyama described as an homage to spirited inspiration. In Shofuso and Modernism, Utsushis are present everywhere, from the building itself to an ikebana arrangement resembling one at the 1954 MoMA installation to the newly commissioned photography by Elizabeth Felicella. https://www.archpaper.com//shofuso-and-modernism-revisits/
