Wajiro Kon (今和次郎, Kon Wajirō, 10 July 1888 – 27 October 1973) was a Japanese architect, designer, and educator.[1] He is renowned as the father of "modernology", a branch of sociology which studied the changes in cityscape and people which emerged as a consequence of Tokyo becoming a modern metropolis in the early Showa Era.[2]
