Jun Fujita was a pioneering Japanese-American photojournalist, poet and artist who documented early 20th-century Chicago. His photographs capture disasters, riots, gangland activity, and large-scale construction, presenting a multifaceted portrait of the city. The images convey both dramatic moments—criminal encounters and civic unrest—and the ongoing transformation of urban infrastructure. The visual record includes iconic figures from the era and street-level scenes that reveal social and cultural dynamics. An exhibition of Fujita’s work is planned in Los Angeles next year, bringing attention to his contributions to photojournalism and American visual history.
