“In order to comprehend the beauty of a Japanese garden, it is necessary to understand — or at least to learn to understand — the beauty of stones.”

– Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904)

Asian American, Native Hawai’ian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a time to reflect upon and celebrate the remarkable role of this community in our nation’s history. Founded in 1963 to heal the wounds of World War II, Portland Japanese Garden is proud to represent this community and exist as a place that can continue to Inspire Harmony and Peace.

To kick off the month, we will have a table at the Oregon Rises Above Hate’s kickoff event on Saturday, May 4th at Lan Su Chinese Garden. Visitors who stop by can write a wish for peace, which will be hung up on Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree at Portland Japanese Garden from June 7-10th this year. The Wish Tree is a global installation made possible through a partnership with the Nobel Peace Center and acclaimed artist and global peace advocate Yoko Ono.
