Description

The Green Arch in the Japanese Garden at Garden House was built in 1828 by Osaki in Japan and was erected here between 1905 and 1926 for Herbert Goode, a wealthy glass and china merchant who began the Japanese Garden in 1905. The arch is made of green cast metal and features circular section converging uprights with twin parallel crosspieces, topped with a horned heavy capping member that follows a timber prototype similar to the Red Arch. There are inscriptions in raised lettering on a central plaque and each upright, along with an inscribed signature on one leg. This arch, also known as a Torii, previously stood in front of the Fox Shrine in the garden.
