“The Japanese House” was built in Japan around 1904 and now graces the Huntington gardens with restored splendor.
Hunt Studios provided the cast architectural elements that adorn the rooftop; traditional Kara-jishi sculptures.
The proud roof-dogs look out over the gorgeous nine-acre Japanese garden and the many visitors that come to be immersed in its beauty. The renovation project earned Merit Award honors from both the Los Angles and Pasadena/Foothill chapters of the AIA.
