The Japanese gardens at Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Washington were created by Fujitaro Kubota in 1956. In 1961 Paul Hayden Kirk designed th eaccompanying guest house on those gardens. The guest house is a blend of Northwest Coastal Native American longhouse architecture and that of Japanese temples reflecting mid-century modern sensibilities.
