Jiyu Gakuen School Myonichikan, the "House of Tomorrow," is the original building complex of Jiyu Gakuen, designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Jiyu means 'freedom', and gakuen is 'school'.
Arata Endo, working as an assistant for Wright's project constructing the Imperial Hotel, introduced Wright to his acquaintances, husband and wife Yoshikazu and Motoko Hani, who founded Jiyu Gakuen. Impressed by the couple's self-reliant, Christian-oriented educational philosophy, Wright accepted to undertake the design of their new school.
