*''Born: [[1846]]''
*''Died: 1922''
*''Japanese'': [[中谷]]新七 ''(Nakatani Shinshichi)''
Nakatani Shinshichi was a farmer from Jigozen-mura, [[Hiroshima prefecture]], who was commissioned to build a Taiko-bashi (Drum Bridge) for the [[1894]] [[San Francisco]] Midwinter Fair.
He sold his family's rice fields to be able to afford the construction of the bridge and bell tower gate (''shôrômon''), which remain today a part of the [[Hagiwara Tea Garden]]. Shinshichi's son remained in San Francisco for nearly fifty years, working to try to earn the funds to re-purchase the family's fields.
