Have you ever noticed this stone, tucked between bushes by the Sand and Stone Garden overlook? We call this the Haiku Stone, and it was a gift to the Garden from Dr. Yutaka Mizuhara, a famous Haiku poet who visited in the late 1960s. The poem reads:

“Here, miles from Japan
I stand as if warmed by the
spring sunshine of home”
