This article will examine the graphic influence of Japanese art, specifically the woodblock prints called Ukiyo-emade by the artist Hiroshige (1797-1858), in the early years of the work carried out by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), represented in the drawings for the Wasmuth Portfolio, a publication released in Berlin in 1910 that intended to be Wright's letter of introduction in the old continent.
