The Japanese garden fixtures at Kidd Springs Park in Dallas have an interesting history documented in the article linked by clicking that icon. I believe that if I read it right the torii that had been in place burned or rotted decades ago. Many of the antique Japanese fixtures have been lost over time due to everything from theft to poor record-keeping to decay. Fortunately the parks department is working to restore as much of the garden as possible using the things that are still in place and with additional pieces donated or procured from other sources. Fort Worth's Japanese Garden at the Botanical Research Institute's Botanic Gardens is a nice place to visit and relax. The BRI has a dedicated staff to manage their operations and within the last 5-6 years they have changed from a free access to a paid entry to help generate the revenue needed to maintain parks like this. You can still visit without paying if you are part of a group I believe. Anyway, public sites like these are important today in our society that feels like it has become more insular in many ways in spite of the vast information available about other cultures.
