Shofuso Japanese House and Garden is a traditional-style Japanese house and nationally-ranked garden in Philadelphia’s West Fairmount Park that reflects the history of Japanese culture in Philadelphia, from the 1876 Centennial Exposition to present day. Shofuso hosts over 30,000 visitors each year from more than 20 different countries. Shofuso was built in Japan in 1953 using traditional techniques and materials and exhibited in the courtyard at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was moved to Philadelphia in 1958, to the site of several previous Japanese structures dating to the 1876 Centennial Exposition. In 2007, internationally renowned artist Hiroshi Senju, inspired by our waterfall, donated 20 murals to Shofuso. A viewing garden with koi pond and island, a tea garden, and a courtyard garden comprise the 17th century-style Japanese walled and fenced garden of this historic site and museum. The newly-restored, historic 1876 Sakura Pavilion is year-round space for programming, classes, meetings, events, and exhibitions. Shofuso was again named the third-ranked Japanese garden in North America by the Journal of Japanese Gardening in 2013,was listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 2013, and is a contributing structure to the Fairmount Park National Historic District since 1972.

HISTORY The Inglis organization traces its roots to a young woman of extraordinary vision and a mother of exceptional determination. Annie Inglis, the daughter of an upper middle class Philadelphia family, contracted scarlet fever as a young child and was left permanently disabled. Days before she died on May 4, 1875, seventeen year old Annie expressed her dream to her mother, “that a home for those who can't be cured will someday stand in the city.” Annie's dream was to found a home in Philadelphia to care for those of low income with disabilities during an era when the poor and infirm were dependent entirely on charity care. Annie gave her mother, Caroline Inglis, a $1 gold coin for auction to start a fundraising campaign. Over the next two years, that gold coin was sold several times and ultimately Caroline opened the Philadelphia Home for Incurables – now Inglis House – one of the first facilities in Philadelphia offering residential medical care for the poor. Today, Inglis House is just one part of Inglis -- Annie's dream has grown into a system of services and products designed to maximize the independence of adults with physical disabilities, for both those who live in our long-term, residential care at Inglis House as well as those living independently in community settings. With the evolution of these services, Inglis now serves nearly 1,000 people daily.
