The smaller, much twisted pine just inside the Main Gate is a Monterey pine. It was brought from
Golden Gate Park's ocean front as a young tree by Makoto Hagiwara who planted it at its
present location around 1900. Through the portal of the Main Gate can be viewed the columns of
the Music Concourse, original site of the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894
where the idea of the Japanese Tea Garden originated.
