October 27th, 2025, will mark the 103rd anniversary of Shuzo Fujimoto’s birth. On this occasion, I’m publishing this picture of Shuzo Fujimoto, taken by Robert Lang on May 4th, 2006, at Fujimoto’s home in Sasayama, Japan.

As a reminder, here are some interesting materials related to Fujimoto that were created for his 100th birth anniversary, 3 years ago, and afterwards:

• Shuzo Fujimoto’s biography
• A recording from the online event featuring presentations about Fujimoto from myself, David Brill, and Hitoshi Fujimoto, Shuzo’s son
• Five books by Shuzo Fujimoto are now Public-Domain and available at archive.org
• Pictures of models folded by Fujimoto himself
• The Catalog of Fujimoto’s Works (CFW)

Enjoy, and carry on the work of Shuzo Fujimoto.
