Partnership with the Topeka Zoo
Japanese Landscaping partnered with KBS Construction and GLMV (architecture firm) to create an authentic world-class Japanese Garden for the Topeka Zoo. Former Chief Justice of Kansas Supreme Court, Kay McFarland, wished to leave the Topeka community to enjoy a meditative space of Japan. The project was finished August of 2020.
Consul General on the Garden
Consul General of Japan in Chicago, Kenichi Okada, recognizes Koji Morimoto’s work and vision. “She (Chief McFarland) wanted to have a place of beauty, serenity and peace for the people of Topeka, and now her vision has been realized today.”
