The garden became a landmark for the Japanese community in Pasadena, and its teahouse served as a meeting place for Japanese cultural activities until it burned down in 1981. It was rebuilt to the original plans during the garden's recent restoration by Takeo Uesugi, FASLA. The garden is open to the public the last Sunday of every week during the pandemic. The garden was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 15, 2005. (en) |
