Situated in the middle of the garden of The Invisible Dog, the latest work by Japanese artist Takao Shiraishi serves as a “tea room”. The unique structure appeals to the eye and encourages people to use their imagination to determine its purpose. The structure complements the natural surrounding and its tranquil atmosphere.
A Tea Room is currently on view in the garden of The Invisible Dog
