Shofuso Japanese House and Garden - traditional Japanese cultural site

Shofuso Japanese House and Garden is a mid-20th-century construction in West Fairmount Park designed in the architectural style of a 17th-century Japanese minka and teahouse. The house and surrounding garden were installed as a cultural exchange to represent traditional Japanese architecture and horticulture and are interpreted through exhibitions, tea ceremonies, and educational programs. The site is managed for public visitation and hosts seasonal events that highlight Japanese arts and garden practices.
