Japanese House and Garden, Fairmont Park, Philadelphia A Japanese House with a pond smack in the middle of "the sprawl" as William Gibson would say. A refuge of quiet elegance. A place where a Japanese gentleman would live. Given to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955 by the Japanese-American Society and then transfered to Philadelphia in 1958. Go see it or visit my other website for a tour...My Other Website Some side notes: Check out a couple of books: "Bushido, The Warrior's Code" by Inazo Nitobe, a classic of Victorian rhetoric that covers: Justice, Politeness, Veracity, Self Control and the Spirit of Daring__plus some other stuff that you can apply to your daly life in "the sprawl". Also, "The Book of Five Rings", by Miyamoto Musashi. Learn about: "crushing", "flustering" and "becoming new"
