Architecture & history
Arinobu Fukuhara (福原 有信, Fukuhara Arinobu; May 10, 1848 – March 30, 1924) was a Japanese business tycoon and pharmacist and cosmetician, who was the head of Apothecary Shiseidō (which in 1927 would be incorporated as Shiseidō Company, Ltd.) and Toku Fukuhara (福原 とく, Fukuhara Toku).
Arinobu Fukuhara is known internationally because of the Arinobu Fukuhara House at Hakone, which Frank Lloyd Wright designed in 1918 as a Prairie-style vacation villa for the extended Fukuhara family.
Born in Awa, Chiba-ken, he rose to become Chief Pharmacist of the Imperial Japanese Navy. In retirement, he embarked on a second career which would bring fame and fortune. He was also president of the Aikoko Insurance Company.
