The New Japanese Garden Gatehouse

摘要

Jam sure there isn't a reader of these lines whose parents did not impress upon him or her the importance of first impressions. That said, consider the entrance to the Japanese Garden, which does not give visitors the best initial impression of the wonderful space that lies beyond it. Not only are first impressions important, but one doesn't often get a second chance to make a good first impression. Nevertheless, that's exactly what a campaign recently initiated by the Japanese Garden Advisory Council plans to do—to give Seattle's magnificent Japanese Garden another chance to make not merely a good first impression but a great first impression by transforming its currently undistinguished entrance and providing long-needed visitor services.
