It&#8217;s been nestled in the Saratoga foothills since 1918 &amp; open to the public for nearly 40 years. What a treasure this place is! Delicate &amp; structured yet wild &amp; natural, all at the same time. Gentle waterfalls, swarming koi, snappish turtles, climbing wisteria, elegant cedar buildings, all arranged so precisely on the hillside &amp; lush with authentic plants, dotted with traditional stone lanterns. It&#8217;s a must-see for Japanophiles &amp; a really lovely spot for anyone to visit.<\/p>\n<p>But we didn&#8217;t just go for the zen goodness, oh no! We went to dress up &amp; play among costumer folk. I was delighted to see all my old friends there, all looking resplendent in Victorian finery and\/or Japanese elegance. This was such a simple costumed event too &#8212; all you had to do was throw on a kimono or hapi coat over a dress or pants &amp; shirt, as about half the guests did. That was enough to get into the spirit of things.<\/p>\n<p>I must admit, I felt almost like the belle of the ball. Everyone loved my Sushi Victorian. People would do a double-take. &#8220;Oh what a lovely bustle gown&#8221; (thinking it was just a bright red floral print). Then, upon closer inspection, &#8220;Oh my goodness, that&#8217;s sushi! And the parasol &amp; purse match! And look at her hat &amp; the hair sticks!&#8221; I even did a few peep shows where I unbuttoned two mid-waist buttons on my polonaise to reveal a strategically placed image of a California roll on my corset (Yosa must have planned that!). Of course, that just got ppl asking if I had sushi-print knickers (note to self: get black sushi fabric &amp; make proper Victorian bloomers to match ;-).<\/p>\n<p>Even aside from the gluttony of praise, it was a great afternoon. I chatted with amazing people in a beautiful setting. I admired everyone&#8217;s costumes &amp; took pictures of many. It was exactly what a good costumed event should be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
