Title	View N.W. of Int. Fountain
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00952
Description	International Fountain, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). “The fountain, a fitting symbol of the fair, graces the center of Boulevards of the World. Designed by Japanese architects Kazuyuki Matsushita and Hideki Shimizu, the fountain is centered in a huge bowl-shaped granite plaza. Its surface is composed of irregular white rock chips suggesting a rocky plain on some unexplored asteroid far beyond the reaches of this galaxy.” (Official souvenir program, Seattle World's Fair, 1962. Seattle: Acme, p. 55.)
