Golden Crane Society Exclusive: Painting Paradise Opening Reception

Join Portland Japanese Garden for a virtual opening reception of the latest exhibition, Painting Paradise: Art of Daisuke Nakano.

The exhibition showcases the colorful paintings of Daisuke Nakano. Daisuke Nakano is an avant-garde visual artist who uses the centuries-old Nihonga-style painting technique to capture the elusiveness of light and the vivacious spirit of wildlife through his screen paintings of imaginary botanical landscapes.
