Good morning friends. Sudha here again. Did you know number 7 is considered lucky in Japan. In Japanese mythology, the seven gods of fortune are believed to grant good luck and are often represented in 'Netsuke' (a small and often intricately carved toggle made of wood, ivory, or metal) used to fasten a small container to a kimono sash and in artworks.
Don't you think the 2 koi in the photograph have formed number 7்😊
A fun fact - We have 38 koi in the garden and they are all named. They are beautiful and patterned like a woven silk fabric and thats why they are called Nishiki-Goi.
Come visit the garden and you may spot the lucky number 7 #portlandjapanesegarden #japanesegarden #koi #lowerpond #koifishpond #funfacts #naturephotography

Good Morning, My name is Sudha and I am a volunteer at the Portland Japanese Garden. For one week, I'll be taking over this feed and sharing my favorite spaces and perspectives of the garden.
This is the very first photograph I took as a volunteer and its of one of my many favorite spots - The Natural Garden done in a style referred to as Zoki No Niwa. It is the most contemporary of the five gardens. The terrain is wilder but very tranquil. The use of water in this space and in other Japanese gardens is allegorical. In Buddhism, water springing from the mountain, rushing down a hill, and flowing into the sea is compared to birth, growth, death and rebirth #portlandjapanesegarden #japanesegarden #naturalgarden #tranquility

Today is Museum Sunday! Garden Members can receive a special discount of 20% at the gift shop today through December 4th.

Today we are featuring our gift shop with these Christmas ornaments by Nozomi Project. @nozomiproject Each item is handcrafted out of broken pottery and therefore no two pieces are exactly the same. Their motto is "beauty in brokenness" and they have a focus in collaboration, transformation, and blessing as core values. We are lucky to have a limited supply of ornaments for the Christmas holiday.
