Fukuda is one of Japan's most well-known post-war graphic designers. He is known to be an environmentalist and anti-war, for he designed posters on these social issues.

Career
In the late 1960s, Paul Rand saw Fukuda's art work and decided to help him arrange his first U.S. exhibition at New York City's IBM Gallery. This exhibition is what introduced Fukuda to the recognition he has gained from a large variety of our society.

Mr. Fukuda served as a Vice President of the Executive Board for the Icograda community from 1993-1995, making him quite a respected member. He was also formerly a vice chairman of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations and vice chairman of the Japanese Graphic Designers Association and also served as a member of Alliance Graphique International and of Tokyo Art Directors Club.
