    ing a clenched fist of barbed wire. In 1982 his poster, 1982 Happy Earth Day, showed an axe with its head against the ground and a branch sprouting from the end of the handle. Later that year Fukuda published Visual Illusion, a book comprised of several optical illusions which gained him fame in the United States. He was the first Japanese designer to be inducted into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in New York City in 1987. Shigeo once described his philosophy, I believe that in design, 30 percent dignity, 20 percent beauty and 50 percent absurdity are necessary. In 1967, Paul Rand organized show in New York at the IBM Gallery in his honor. Exhibitions at The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco in 1987 and in 1999 were hosted by the Japan Foundation in Toronto entitled, Visual Prankster: Shigeo Fukuda. Shigeo Fukuda suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage and died on January 11, 2009.

    Shigeo Fukuda was born in Tokyo on February 4th, 1932. His family specialized in the manufacture of the toys. However after World War II, a young Shigeo became interested in graphic design. He was especially interested in the minimalism displayed in the Swiss Style. He attended the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, which he graduated from in 1956. He was first commissioned for the 1970 Worlds Fair Expo in Osaka. Inspired by the Swiss Style, Shigeo employed similar techniques in his posters while combining them with optical illusions. He quickly developed a reputation for his political themed posters which often emphasized anti-war and pro-environmental perspectives. His poster Victory 1945, depicting an artillery shell returning into the barrel from which it was shot, earned him the grand prize at the Warsaw Poster contest which supported the Peace Fund Movement. In 1980, he created a poster for Amnesty International depict-
