An ornately carved gate was built in 1916 by Mr. Shimada, a Japanese craftsman,
who in 1913 had constructed the torii. The gate was originally the entrance
to the Hagiwara residence built in 1908 and destroyed after the Hagiwaras left the
Tea Garden in 1942. The gate now leads to a terrace overlooking the Sunken Garden
which occupies the site where the Hagiwara residence formerly stood. |
