Japanese Tea Garden 100th Anniversary

As a special tribute to the 100th year anniversary of the Japanese Tea Garden located in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Lewis Merlo, Inc. was commissioned by the Friends of Recreation and Parks to design and install two concrete bases to support two large bronze lanterns which are from the Meija era (1868-1912). We also created the pedestal support and surrounding pavement to present the Buddhist pagoda which is bounded by the "mizugaki," a Shento shrine fence in traditional picket form.
