Tōgo Murano (村野 藤吾, Murano Tōgo, May 15, 1891 – November 26, 1984) was a Japanese architect. Although his formative years were between 1910 and 1930,[1] he remained active in design throughout his life and at the time of his death was responsible for over three hundred completed projects.[2]
Although his work lacked a distinctive singular style,[3] he was recognised as a master of the modern interpretation of the sukiya style.[4] His work included large public buildings as well as hotels and department stores and he has been recognised as one of Japan's modern masters.
