Notable Landscape Restored
The grounds at the Shofuso Japanese House
and Garden, created in Philadelphia's historic
Fairmount Park by landscape architect Tansai
Sano of Kyoto, Japan, has been restored thanks
to a $75,000 fund drive. The landscape includes
a koi pond, an island and two gardens. As part of
the restoration, the pond was dredged to deepen
it, the masonry banks were rebuilt, the island
expanded, and the waterfall restored.
