Description
This teahouse was built in Japan and then reassembled in Houston, Texas by Japanese craftsmen. A gift from Prime Minister Kaifu, the Teahouse serves as focal point of the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park. The teahouse is constructed of Japanese Cedar or Hinoki along with Japanese Red Cedar otherwise known as Kitayama-sugi from Kyoto, Japan. The wood is carefully cultivated so that knots do not form. The teahouse is constructed without nails and is a great example of classic Japanese construction.
