Japanese Tea House
Wa-Shin-An, which translates literally as “Peace-Mind-House,” is a traditional Japanese meditation garden and teahouse, built through the generosity of alumnae and friends of Mount Holyoke College. Designed to present the universe in miniature — but a universe tranquilized and cleansed — it offers a refuge from the distraction of our lives, a place to cultivate the silence of the heart.
