Fukasawa

Fukasawa is a minimal free blog theme for photographers and other creatives.

The free Fukasawa WordPress theme.

Minimal masonry layout

Fukasawa sports a beautifully minimal layout that displays you posts, images and videos in a Pinterest-style grid. It’s perfect for sharing your content with the world.

Responsive & retina ready

Clever responsive design and retina friendly icons allow Fukasawa to adapt gracefully to all devices – from a 27 inch iMac to a 3.5 inch iPhone.

Post format support

Fukasawa includes support for the image, video and gallery formats, and presents your galleries in a beautiful slideshow above your posts. Regular old posts look great as well.

Customizability

Change the accent color, upload your own logo and use the sidebar widget area (including five custom widgets) to give Fukasawa a personal touch.

Jetpack support

Load new posts without reloading the page with Jetpack Infinite Scroll, and display your images in a beautiful grid with Jetpack Tiles Galleries. Fukasawa has built-in support for both.

Gutenberg support

Fukasawa includes editor styles and support for all blocks in the new Gutenberg editor, as well as full support for the Classic Editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fukasawa free?

Yes. Fukasawa is free and open source, released under the GPL 2.0 license like WordPress itself. You can download it from WordPress.org, or install it from your WordPress dashboard: go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme and search for “Fukasawa”.

Can I use Fukasawa on a commercial or client site?

Yes. The GPL 2.0 license lets you use Fukasawa on any site – personal, commercial or for a client – and modify it however you want. If you distribute a modified version, it has to be released under the GPL as well.

Can I use Fukasawa with the Site Editor?

No. Fukasawa is a classic theme. It supports the block editor for posts and pages, but not the Site Editor. If you want to edit your whole site with blocks, try one of my block themes, like Spiekermann.

What does Fukasawa require?

Fukasawa requires WordPress 4.6 or later, and PHP 5.6 or later. That said, I recommend always running the latest versions of both WordPress and PHP.

Is Fukasawa available in my language?

Fukasawa is translated into 25 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese and Russian (see the full list). If your site is set to one of them, WordPress downloads the translation automatically when you install the theme. If your language is missing, or the translation is incomplete, you can help translate Fukasawa on translate.wordpress.org.

Is Fukasawa still maintained?

Yes. Fukasawa gets updates with security and bug fixes, but generally not support for new features. The latest version, 2.1.4, was released on . If you’d like a feature added, you can ask for it in the support forum, or preferably by opening an issue in the GitHub repository.

How do I remove “Theme by Anders Norén” from the footer in Fukasawa?

You can hide it with custom CSS, or remove it from the footer template in a child theme. If you do remove it, I’d appreciate it if you consider sending a small donation my way.

Where can I get support for Fukasawa?

Post your question in the Fukasawa support forum on WordPress.org. There’s a decent chance it has already been asked and answered. Found a bug, or want to contribute? Open an issue or a pull request in the GitHub repository.
