Josiah Conder (September 28 1852 – June 21 1920) was a British architect who worked as a foreign advisor to the government of Meiji period Japan. He designed numerous public buildings in Tokyo including the Rokumeikan and educated many Japanese architects who later won distinction (notably Tatsuno Kingo and Katayama Tōkuma) and hence Japanese called him the father of Japanese modern architecture.
