Japanese Tea Garden Gates

The reconstruction of the Japanese Tea Garden gates resulted from the efforts of San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein and Mayor Yasushi Oshima of San Francisco’s sister city, Osaka, Japan. Ohbayashi Corporation designed the gates, and temple architect Kensuki Kawata executed the traditional decorative features. The gates stand on the site of the original ones built for the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition and the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition of 1915. Under the direction of the San Francisco Art Commission, the project was completed on September 3, 1985.
