Created in 1906 in just six months, this hill and water style garden was transformed by landscape designer K. Wadamori and seven workmen from Japan into a traditional Japanese landscape with ponds, streams, hills, stones, bridges, and pathways. They dug into the hillside to create pools, formed rocky outcrops and ledges with glacial boulders and quarried stone, and channeled brooks into cascading waterfalls so that, though entirely man-made, the garden appeared natural. In 1915, John Handrahan, Mary Clark Thompson’s landscape architect, more than doubled the garden’s size by adding a new pond and plantings to emphasize new vistas. Its centerpiece was a traditional Sukiya-style tea house with an Irimoya-style roof, built under K. Wadamori’s supervision and completed in 1908. K. Wadamori also used sculpture to create focal points, mark significant pathways, and provide visual interest, including a Buddha, a five-tiered pagoda, and three pair of Komainu. The garden has four entrances, with the main entrance marked by a traditional Torii Gate associated with Shinto shrines, while the other three are smaller and marked by bamboo or wood-shingled roofed structures.
