While the arts of no country are excluded, the Center’s primary focus will be the arts of Japan. Through these means it hopes to further understanding of the culture of Japanand foster friendship between Japan and the United States.

Shinzen Japanese Garden
Many visitors to theFresnoarea are astonished to find a Japanese garden in this very dry, hot valley. The Climate of Japan is similar to theEastern United States. The plants used in this garden do best in moist, fertile soil with rain and snow. None of these attributes are likeFresno.
It was a true leap of imagination to conceive of a Japanese-style garden in Fresno. Thanks to the early visionaries, we enjoy an oasis in our own Woodward Park that improves every year. Our Board of Directors and Advisory Board are committed to furthering the progress of our Shinzen Garden. Yet it is the concern and responsibility of every citizen of Fresno to preserve and protect the Garden for future generations.
