This Paper examine the works and activities of Yukichi Kouno (Ryouichi Kanou) within the movement of 'The International Architectural Association of Japan' founded in 1927. Kohno became a member of 'The Association' around January 1932. It was at the turning point for the activity of ‘the Association’ and the enrollment of Kohno was a part of it. He worked on the edition of the periodical of ‘the Association’ and introduced the architecture of Soviet Union and tried to advocate the new architecture by a method of the social science. Since he has involved in 'the Association', the group converted to aim the new architecture by a method of the social science based on the theory of communism. 'The Association' stopped their activities in May 1933. He seemed to have already left the Association before May 1933. His withdrawal from the Association seems to be one of the causes of the demise of the Association
