About Saichiro Fujita

Lived 1886 – 1976 (aged 90). Saichiro Fujita was a Japanese.

, a native of Yamaguchi Prefecture, was the second Japanese to become a member of the Baháʼí Faith from Japan. He was also distinguished by serving for many years at the Baháʼí World Centre through many of the heads of the religion from the time of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi, the period of the Custodians, and then the Universal House of Justice.

While attending school in Oakland, California he joined the religion in 1904-5. Later he met ʻAbdu'l-Bahá during his journeys to the West in 1912. Initially Fujita was living in Cleveland working for a Doctor Barton-Peek, a female Baháʼí, but failed to meet ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as he came through. Later on ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's next trip west Fujita caught up with him when he reached Chicago at the home of Corinne True and from there traveled with ʻAbdu'l-Bahá to the west coast and back. until 1919 when ʻAbdu'l-Bahá offered an invitation for him to serve the interests of the religion in Haifa at the Baháʼí World Centre.
