Jun Fujita Cabin, Historic cabin on Wendt Island in Rainy Lake, Minnesota, US
The wooden cabin sits on a foundation of dry-laid stones and features modest decorative elements influenced by Japanese architectural traditions.
Built in 1928 by photographer Jun Fujita, this cabin served as his creative retreat until 1941 when World War II circumstances limited his visits.
The structure represents the early contributions of Japanese Americans in the Midwest through the lens of a pioneering photojournalist and poet.
The cabin remains part of Voyageurs National Park, providing visitors insights into early 20th-century recreational architecture in northeastern Minnesota.
Florence Carr, Fujita's partner, purchased the island due to legal restrictions preventing non-citizens from owning land in the United States.
