Erected by Taipei Botanical Garden’s lotus pond in the early Showa period (1930s) during the Japanese Colonial period, the building was originally a tea house. Its former address was “Land No. 323, 6th Street, Nanmending, Taipei City, Taipei Prefecture,” and thereby was later named “Nanmending 323.” After years of neglect and lack of upkeep, the old Japanese-style building was restored in recent years with the assistance of renowned architects, Guo Zhong-Duan and Kenji Horigome. Mr. Motomi Oguchi from Japan’s Nagano Prefecture, who specializes in residential garden design, was also invited to design the Japanese rock garden.
