Josiah Conder Architect
Josiah Conder (28 September 1852 – 21 June 1920) was a British architect who worked as a foreign advisor to the government of Meiji period Japan. Conder designed numerous public buildings in Tokyo, including the Rokumeikan, and educated many Japanese architects who later won distinction (notably Tatsuno Kingo and Katayama Tōkuma), and hence Japanese called him the "father of Japanese modern architecture."
