| Shofuso - The Japanese House & Garden |
Rate it | Review My Site
|
| "Koi swim in a pond edged by boulders, and paths wind among native and exotic greenery. This tranquil setting surrounds the Pine Breeze Villa, a 17th century shoin style Japanese house. The Japanese House and Garden (Shofuso) is one of the most notable and unusual attractions in Philadelphia. This shoin-zukuri (desk-centered) house, built in 16th century style, is located on the grounds of the Horticultural Center in the West Philadelphia section of Fairmount Park. The perfectly proportioned architecture of the main structure and adjoining tea house is enhanced by an ornamental garden and picturesque pond. |
