Completed in 1912, the Japanese Garden at The Huntington is one of America's oldest, most elaborate, and most gracefully matured Japanese gardens. It features a traditional 19th-century residence from the Meiji period, a gong tower, and a koi pond spanned by a moon bridge. To the south of the garden, across a zig-zag bridge, is a walled compound containing a karesansuiå garden (a rock garden or dry landscape) and a bonsai court.
Part of the philosophy behind Japanese garden design is that the color green should be dominant, to create a restful effect without bright hues. Color plays a lesser, largely seasonal role. Ornamental fruit trees, wisteria, Japanese maple, and ginkgo lend their color to the landscape of The Huntington's lovely Japanese garden.
The Huntington's Japanese Garden, with moon bridge and traditional 19th-century residence from the Meji period framed by blooming wisterias.
- 2 x 3"
