‘Fujita...was born in Waimea, Hawaii. He attended a boarding school in Honolulu, where he adopted the name Neil. He enrolled in Chouinard Art Institute, but his studies were interrupted by WWII & his forced relocation in 1942, first to the Pomona Assembly Centre outside Los Angeles & later to the Heart Mountain Relocation Centre in Wyoming. During his confinement, he worked as the art director of the camp newspaper, the Heart Mountain Sentinel. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1943. Fujita joined a prominent Philadelphia ad agency after completing his studies. He worked for Ayer for three years & during his tenure was awarded an Art Directors gold medal. Columbia Records hired him in 1954 to build a design department to build on the work of Alex Steinweiss who established the concept cover art. In 1957, Fujita left Columbia... He taught design at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, the Pratt Institute, & Parsons School...' https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/
