I've taken many visitors to the Japanese Tea Garden in Brackenridge Park since moving to San Antonio. Luis went for the first time last month and was as impressed as I was the first time I saw it. The Garden was built about 100 years ago out of a former quarry. A Japanese gardener designed and maintained it. He and his family lived there until World War II when all things Japanese fell out of favor. His family was evicted and the city renamed it the Chinese Tea Garden. Cooler heads prevailed after the war and it is the Japanese Tea Garden once again. The family, however, never returned.
