JONATHAN ROSENBAUM
Chicago Reader
A meticulous and eminently scholarly look at Frank Lloyd Wright's Japanese projects and colleagues... boasting authenticity and intellectual integrity.
SID SMITH
Chicago Tribune
Intently educational, this highly detailed documentary examines the Japanese episode of Wright’s career. Most impressive is the influence on Japanese disciples who continued designing buildings with their interpretations of Wright’s aesthetic.
BILL STAMETS
Chicago Sun-Times
One of the great strengths of this documentary is its unusually thorough treatment of the contributions made by the architects who worked with Wright on the Imperial Hotel and other Japanese projects.
