The Japanese Tea Pavilion (or Tea House or Tea Garden), 19141955 in San Diego's Balboa Park, was located northeast of the Botanical Building. It was built by the Japanese Tea Associatiion and the Japanese and Formosan governments for the Callifornia-Panama Exposition of 1915. Maintained by the Asakawa family until 1941, when the family was evacuated, it was then used by the US military during World War II, and was finally razed in 1955. This postcard appears to be autographed by Haruko Asakawa in both hiragana and Latin script.
