After graduating from the Department of Architecture of Tokyo Imperial University in 1919, YOSHIDA Tetsuro joined the Building and Repairs Section, the Finance Bureau at Ministry of Communications. He retired from the Ministry of Communications in 1944. In 1946, he became a professor at Nihon University. He designed many buildings for the Ministry of Communications, including the Kyoto Central Post Office, Tokyo Central Post Office, and Osaka Central Post Office. He also left various works, including facilities like Beppu City Public Hall, residential architecture, and plans for the competition. He was also active in various other areas, such as publishing books in German and translating works by Bruno Taut.

YOSHIDA Tetsuro

The archive is comprised of more than 2,000 architectural design drawings. It includes YOSHIDA’s works from his student days (until 1919) up to Mimatsu Shobo (1953), the work in his final years, and the works he was engaged in as an official of the Ministry of Communications.
