DESCRIPTION:Visit the Garden on April 8-9 to celebrate Hana Matsuri\, the Flower Festival\, with ikebana by the Saga Goryu school. Hana Matsuri honors the birth of Buddha\, and highlights the fleeting beauty of the delicate cherry blossom. A must see for lovers of this traditional Japanese garden art.\n\nReiwa 令和 "Beautiful Peace"\n\nFor this year’s Hana Matsuri at the Portland Japanese Gardens\, the North America Chapter of Saga Goryu Ikebana presents Reiwa 令和 (Beautiful Peace). 令和 Reiwa is the name selected for the current Japanese Imperial reign of Emperor Naruhito\, and was inspired by an 8th century poem celebrating spring. Peace — 平和 Heiwa—is also the PJG’s theme for 2020. 和 Wa is at the essence of Saga Goryu philosophy\, and is also interpreted as harmony.\n\nSaga Goryu expresses harmony through a variety of arrangements\, each of which can be distilled to a complementary relationship. In and yo (in Chinese\, yin and yang) are illustrated by a square within a circle: each is complete in itself but together they symbolize universal harmony. Our exhibition presents a variety of arrangements in which the circle/square in/yo duality is brought to the fore. We hope to convey the ancient and contemporary ideal of peace\, through beauty—Reiwa 令和.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Stroll the new Cultural Village as accomplished Koto Harpist\, Mitsuki Dazai\, shares her music.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Ohara Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_3786" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ohara Ikebana / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nWhat distinguishes ikebana from other approaches to flower arrangement is its asymmetrical form and the use of “empty” space as essential features of the composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial. Ikebana shares these aesthetic characteristics with traditional Japanese paintings\, gardens\, architecture\, and design. Members of the Seattle Chapter of the Ohara School of Ikebana set the tone for spring with an array of exquisite designs on display in the Yanai Classroom.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Stroll the new Cultural Village as accomplished Koto Harpist\, Eri Muroi\, shares her music.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Tewaza no Bi: Bamboo Art from the Collection of Peter Shinbach
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_3175" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nThis summer\, the Garden's new Tanabe Gallery will host an exhibition of Japanese Bamboo baskets on loan from long-time Garden member and local collector\, Peter Shinbach.\n\nShinbach’s interest in Japanese art and culture goes back to his high school days when he was given the choice of studying either Asian or Russian history.  He wisely chose the former.  He became interested in Japanese bamboo art about twenty years ago and began collecting traditional bamboo baskets and more contemporary sculptural pieces about 15 years ago.  The varied collection includes works from the late 19th Century through the present day.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Ron Herman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for landscape architect Ron Herman's lecture\, Gardens of Time: 17th Century Imperial Gardens in Kyoto and Paris\n\n[caption id="attachment_1398" align="alignright" width="281"] Ron Herman[/caption]\n\nHerman’s design portfolio includes many of North America's largest and most intricate private gardens. He has created more than four hundred full-scale garden designs in his thirty-five plus year career in landscape architecture. Although he began his studies at the University of California at Berkeley -- studying under noted landscape architects Garrett Eckbo and Lawrence Halprin – his graduate studies in Kyoto proved to be profoundly influential in shaping his design sensibility. Ron taught all areas of landscape architecture at the University of California in Berkeley\, including Japanese garden history\, for twenty years\, leaving in 1988 to again concentrate on residential design. His approach to design involves manipulating space and perspective to create a feeling of expansiveness.\n\n[caption id="attachment_4274" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ron Herman / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nIn addition to the private garden of Oracle co-founder Lawrence Ellison\, Ron has worked on residential projects for Joe Montana\, Neil Young and numerous other sports\, entertainment and tech personalities. In the area of public landscapes\, he completed the Oracle Corporation World Headquarters in Redwood City\, CA\, and designed the East Wing garden at the National Gallery in Washington D.C. Although famed for his mastery of the Japanese form\, his current projects employ a broad range of style and invention.  He has kept close ties to Japan\, visiting frequently on several research grants and maintaining fluency in the language. Ron has authored numerous papers on Japanese garden design and co-authored\, with Marc Treib\, A Guide to the Gardens of Kyoto\, often noted as an authoritative text on Kyoto's historic landscapes.\n\n[sponsors]

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, the Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_1038" align="alignleft" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nBring the whole family to this year’s celebration of the traditional Japanese Tanabata festival. Take part in traditional Tanabata customs like folding origami paper ornaments and writing wishes on colorful strips of paper called tanzaku. Enjoy Kamishibai storytelling with longtime friend of the Garden Michiko Kornhauser and the music of Tokyo-born guitarist Toshi Onizuka.\nTanabata History\nTanabata has its roots in a Chinese legend about the love between a young princess\, Orihime\, who was a weaver\, and a handsome young cowherd named Kengyu. As a result of their great love for each other\, the weaver neglected her work weaving cloth for the gods and the herdsman neglected his cattle. In punishment\, Orihime’s father\, the emperor of the heavens\, moved the star-lovers to opposite sides of the Milky Way and stated that they would only be allowed to meet once a year: on the seventh day of the seventh month. On this night a flock of heavenly magpies use their wings to form a bridge that the weaver can cross to join her lover. The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7 is a clear night\; if it rains\, the lovers must wait another year.

All Rights Reserved.[/caption]\n\nThe Saturday\, July 29th performance is sold out\, but tickets still remain for the Sunday\, July 30th performance.\n\nKabuki on Stage: A Solo Performance brings Kabuki star Nakamura Umemaru from Tokyo to the Portland Japanese Garden for only two nights to perform Tenaraiko\, one of the most beloved dances in the Kabuki repertoire\, courtesy of Shochiku Co. Ltd. in Japan.\n\nEach night’s performance begins with young Umemaru arriving on stage without full make-up and costuming. We watch as he applies make-up\, an elaborate wig\, and a lavishly embroidered costume that transforms him into the onnagata role of a lovely young maiden\, assisted by Kabuki actor Nakamura Umeno.\nTenaraiko is one of the most beloved dances in the Kabuki repertoire and involves an almost magical costume transformation called hikinuki that is performed on stage in front of an often awestruck audience.\nAbout the Performance\n[caption id="attachment_5832" align="alignleft" width="376"] Nakamura Umemaru. Copyright © Shochiku Co.\, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.[/caption]\n\nNakamura Umemaru makes his US debut in Tenaraiko\, one of the best-known dances in the Kabuki repertoire. A rising star among Kabuki actors in Tokyo\, the talented Umemaru plays the role of a young girl on her way home from a calligraphy lesson who fantasizes about the life ahead of her\, composing imaginary love poems from the words she wrote in class as butterflies dance around her.\n\nFemale roles\, or onnagata\, have been played by men on the Kabuki stage since laws prohibiting women from stage performances to protect the public decency were enacted in the 17th century.  It is said that onnagata actors are able to capture the essence of the feminine spirit\, and their studied movements and graceful poses represent the quintessential woman.\n\n[cta]

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Stroll the new Cultural Village as accomplished Koto Harpist\, Mitsuki Dazai\, shares her music.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Takashi Miki: Bamboo in Kyoto - Natural Form and Ancient Craft
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_6200" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo courtesy of Takashi Miki[/caption]\n\nBamboo craftsman Takashi Miki is coming to the Garden to give a presentation on his craft and its beautiful and vivid history. As the fifth- and sixth-generation owners of Miki Bamboo shop\, Takashi and his father Kiyoshi Miki continue the tradition of kyo-meichiku\, a distinctly Kyoto way of cultivating bamboo and processing it into beautiful products. Elaborate bamboo craftwork is especially notable in Kyoto\, where high-quality bamboo is certified as a traditional craft product by Kyoto Prefecture under the name Kyo-meichiku (Genuine Kyoto Bamboo).\n\nMiki Bamboo\, founded in 1877\, grows bamboo in its own company groves -- it is the master himself who chooses the stalks to be cut during the fall harvest. Roasting bamboo is a distinctive Kyoto tradition\, one that requires precision and patience. It results in an exquisite surface lustre and durability not achievable through the faster\, easier methods used elsewhere in Japan. It is Miki’s belief\, passed down through generations\, that one must consistently stand close to the bamboos from the very beginning to the final product in order to produce character in each and every one.\nAbout Takashi Miki\nTakashi Miki joined the family business in 1995 after college and since then has received numerous awards for his fine bamboo crafts every year. He has constructed fences at such iconic locations such as the Katsura Imperial Villa\, Murin-an Garden\, and Nijo Castle in Kyoto\, and also participated in countless design events including Tokyo Designers Week. His “Tsutsu-gata” chopstick design is in official use at the Kyoto State Guest House\, and he is certified by Kyoto Prefecture as a Kyomono Traditional Craftsman.\n\nThis is a complimentary members-only event\, but tickets must be reserved in advance. The lecture will be in Japanese with translation. The event is supported in part by a grant from the Japan Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership.

DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_6286" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ryusei-ha Ikebana Exhibition / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” On the weekend of September 30-October 1\, the Garden is pleased to host an autumn exhibition of the Ryusei-ha School of Ikebana\, featuring the work of students and teachers of the Portland branch of this school\, headquartered in Tokyo.\nAbout Ryusei-ha Ikebana\nFounder Kaun Yoshimura began his own studies of flower arrangement at the Ikenobo School\, but became dissatisfied with older styles and started his own school in 1886\, which is known today for fostering an appreciation for the natural form of plants as they exist in nature\, coupled with an adventurous approach to materials and the spirit of innovation. According to him\, the Ryusei-ha School of Ikebana seeks to explore the many "faces of plants\," helping us to rediscover their essential vitality. His successor\, Kakyu Yoshimura\, the second headmaster\, enhanced the founder's ideas by further developing the traditional forms and laying the ground work for what has become the modern style.\n\nAlthough students in this school must demonstrate mastery of traditional forms\, they also create free style installations that blur the boundaries between flower arrangement and sculpture. Some prefer not to use artificially made containers\, but\, instead\, use natural materials as containers.

SUMMARY:Sogetsu Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_6289" align="alignleft" width="376"] Sogetsu Ikebana / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigawara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can arrange ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people. Visit the Garden to see these elaborate and colorful flower arrangements presented by the Sogetsu School of Ikebana.

SUMMARY:Ikenobo Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_6291" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ikenobo Ikebana / Photo Courtesy of Ikenobo Ikebana[/caption]\n\nOn the weekend of November 4-5\, the Garden is pleased to host an exhibition of the Ikenobo School of Ikebana. With more than 550 years of documented history\, Ikenobo is the oldest school of Japanese flower arranging. This art form has evolved through the ages\, subtly blending old with new.\n\nThe use of different or indigenous materials and the creation of new styles add to ikebana’s continuing appeal such as freestyle. Ikebana—a single arrangement—is the embodiment of and window to an individual’s soul\; a human endeavor connecting one to the spiritual realm and the world at large. It is a lifelong journey of commitment and meditation. Members of the Ikenobo School of Ikebana will showcase an array of exquisite designs in the Yanai Classroom.

SUMMARY:Cutting Back: An Afternoon with Leslie Buck
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_6639" align="alignright" width="376"] Author of Cutting Back\, Leslie Buck / Photo by Maya Blum Photography[/caption]\n\nThis event is sold out\, but mark your calendar for the next lecture by Professor Kendall H. Brown.\n\nLeslie Buck is coming to the Portland Japanese Garden to give a presentation in support of her memoir Cutting Back: My Apprenticeship in the Gardens of Kyoto\, published by Timber Press earlier this year. Buck was the first American woman to learn pruning from one of the most storied landscaping companies in Kyoto. Cutting Back recounts Buck’s bold journey and the revelations she has along the way.\n\nHer presentation will include images from the scenes described in the book and also design elements\, pruning methods and interesting traditional tools from her time in Japan\, cool tools\, and more. Audience members will come away not just with colorful stories and depictions of Japan that they’d never have even gotten to see as a tourist from locales incuding private homes\, a geisha’s garden and monasteries -- but also with new ideas they can apply to their own gardens.\n\nThe lecture is a presentation of the Portland Japanese Garden’s Japanese Garden Training Center\, and it is supported by a grant from the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Kadomatsu\, Japanese New Year Decorations
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_1030" align="alignleft" width="376"] Kadomatsu by designer Toru Tanaka / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nThis workshop is SOLD OUT.\n\nPine\, bamboo and plum are the three most auspicious plants for the Japanese New Year. All across Japan\, during the New Year celebration\, or Oshogatsu\, you will find these plants at residential doorways and the entrances to temples\, shrines\, public and commercial facilities alike. They are kadomatsu or “gate pines\,” taking various forms according to how the boughs of the three plants are tied together. A common interpretation of their meaning is that the evergreen pine tree represents constancy and longevity\; bamboo uprightness and resilience\; and plum the purity and the first blossoms of spring\, imparting the sense of renewal.\n\nTools\, plant materials and learning materials are provided. Participants are asked to bring lunch. Please arrive by 8:50am for event check-in.\n\nPlease note that the Garden Workshops involve some physical work. If you wish to participate and have any limitations or concerns\, please contact us for information.

SUMMARY:Heart and Soul of Ikebana by Professor Kimiko Gunji
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_1041" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nWith its origins entwined in Kyoto at the Rokkakudo temple\, Ikenobo is one of the oldest schools of ikebana flower arrangement in Japan. Around 1400 years ago\, priests made floral offerings to the Buddha. These priests lived near a pond ( ‘ike’) in a small hut (‘bo’) and thus began to be called by the name ‘Ikenobo’\n\nKimiko Gunji Sensei\, Associate Professor of Japanese Arts and Culture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, has joined us in the past as a respected teacher of Japanese tea and kokoro (‘heart’\, ‘mind\,’ or ‘spirit’) for the Japanese Garden Training Center.  We are honored that Gunji Sensei will be joining us again\, this time to give a demonstration of Ikenobo ikebana as part of the bamboo basket and flower exhibition\, Hanakago: The Art of Bamboo and Flowers.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner where Koto master Eri Muroi will be playing new numbers.\n\nKoto – Japanese harp - was introduced to Japan from China in the 7th century. As time goes\, the instrument developed further in a solo capacity and eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over. This recital will show you how Koto has developed its ability\, and what Koto can do in contemporary music world.

SUMMARY:Kinmata: A Taste of Kaiseki
DESCRIPTION:[cta align="right"]\n\nThe Ukai family\, long-time friends of the Garden’s Curator of Culture\, Art\, and Education\, Diane Durston\, looks forward to sharing a taste of kaiseki. Choose one of two seatings on Sunday\, June 3 at 12:00pm or 6:00pm.\n\nBoth the lunch and dinner seatings will begin with your choice of wine\, sake or beer followed by a chef demonstration and a conversation with Kinmata’s owners\, moderated by Garden CEO Steve Bloom. You will be seated at communal tables as you savor five courses highlighting the five Japanese cooking techniques (simmering\, steaming\, grilling\, frying\, aemono) and the five Japanese tastes (salty\, sour\, sweet\, bitter\, umami).\n\nSeating is limited. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime experience with one of Kyoto’s finest culinary families in the handsome setting of Shizuku designed by architect Kengo Kuma. Oideyasu! That’s Kyoto dialect for welcome!\nWHAT IS KINMATA?\n[caption id="attachment_9394" align="alignleft" width="376"] Photo Courtesy of Kinmata[/caption]\n\nSince 1801\, the Ukai family of Kyoto has run Kinmata\, a traditional inn (ryokan) and fine dining restaurant in the ancient capital city. Today\, the 7th and 8th generation of the family work together to welcome guests from around the world and have created one of the best places to experience the haute cuisine of Kyoto: the multi-course\, seasonal meal known as kaiseki.\n\n[caption id="attachment_9395" align="alignright" width="251"] Photo Courtesy of Kinmata[/caption]\n\nNine members of the Kinmata team including owners Haruji Ukai\, his wife Masami\, and their son Hideyuki\, together with head chef Toshio Yamaguchi\, are coming to Portland to prepare a five-course meal with local ingredients to be served with the help of Portland’s Chef Naoko at her restaurant Shizuku.\nSHARING A LEGACY\nKinmata’s traditional machiya building was registered in 2001 as a National Cultural Property. Haruji Ukai\, the 7th owner of Kinmata explains\, “My father loved the old architecture… He never questioned ‘should we keep this or not?’ He just thought ‘how to pass on this culture to the next generation.’ Now I am inheriting Kinmata and will hand it to my son.”\n\nKinmata’s head chef Yamaguchi says\, “I am a lucky chef… My customers always ask me ‘cook me something delicious in season!’ That brings me a sense of fulfillment as a chef. I am not supposed to cook the same meal every day — my cooking is based on close communication with my customers\, attention to the seasons\, and with fresh\, local ingredients.”

SUMMARY:Handmade: Creative Focus in the Age of Distraction
DESCRIPTION:A Lecture by Author and Woodcraftsman Gary Rogowski\nAs part of the Shokunin: Five Kyoto Artisans Look to the Future exhibition\, Northwest author and woodcraftsman Gary Rogowski presents his recently published book\, Handmade: Creative Focus in the Age of Distraction. More than a how-to woodworking book\, it speaks to our needs to be creative\, to the worth of practice and to the need for working with our hands in this fractious time. Handmade comprises a series of stories about the value of failure and the need for forgiveness in any journey to becoming a master. The book is written for anyone interested in doing creative work today. Part memoir\, part stories from the bench\, it speaks to the artist inside us all. Book-signing to follow lecture.

SUMMARY:Kasagi: Gates of Hope
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, two nearly identical beams of a sacred Shinto gate landed on the Oregon coast after having been tragically washed away in the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. After traveling 5\,000 miles across the Pacific\, incredibly\, these two crossbeams -- known as kasagi -- landed within 120 miles of each other less than one month apart. Virtually unidentifiable\, they could have been abandoned\, forgotten\, and lost forever. Instead\, the quest to return the two battered pieces of wood slowly brought people together from across the globe in a message of support for the people of Japan. What unfolds is the story of what connects us as humans: life\, loss\, perseverance\, hope – and restoration. With support from its board\, community\, and partners far and wide\, the Portland Japanese Garden led the effort to find the kasagis’ rightful home and ensure the sacred pieces’ safe return.\n\nCome join Garden Curator Sadafumi Uchiyama and Board of Trustees President Dorie Vollum as they recount this transformative story – one that starts with an astonishing chance discovery\, and becomes an enduring connection between communities that transcends language\, geography\, and time.\n\n[gallery type="slideshow" link="none" columns="1" size="large" ids="10129\,10130\,10131\,10134"]

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shamisen
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_11694" align="alignright" width="261"] Courtesy of Kazutaka Fukui[/caption]\n\nHave you ever heard a shamisen? Shamisen literary means ‘three strings\,’ rightly describing this traditional instrument that somewhat resembles a banjo. We will proudly present Kazutaka "Kazu" Fukui for the first solo shamisen performance ever held at the Garden's Cultural Corner.\n\nKazu is currently residing in Portland as a fellow gardener at the Portland Japanese Garden. Yes\, he has double professions\; a Master gardener and a Master player of shamisen. He started his shamisen training at age 16 and won a prize at a national shamisen competition in Japan at age 19. Now he plays shamisen all over the world. Along with his musical pursuit\, he studied gardening and earned a Master’s degree in Landscaping Architecture at the Tokyo University of Agriculture. Being in two professions – sound and visual – Kazu disseminates Japanese culture through his unique approaches.\n\nEnjoy Kazu’s world!

SUMMARY:Kadomatsu Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Kadomatsu Workshop is sold out. \n\n[caption id="attachment_10452" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nAll across Japan\, during the New Year celebration of O-shogatsu\, you will find the three auspicious plants --- pine\, bamboo\, and plum -- at residential doorways and the entrances to temples\, shrines\, public buildings\, and commercial facilities. These kadomatsu or “gate pines” take various forms according to how the boughs of the three plants are tied together.

This workshop is conducted by staff gardeners at the Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n 	\n\n[caption id="attachment_1030" align="alignright" width="376"] Kadomatsu by designer Toru Tanaka / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nEvent fees are non-refundable and take place rain or shine\, so please dress appropriately for the weather.\n 	Necessary tools\, supplies\, and printed educational material are provided.\n 	The course fee includes Garden admission.\n 	The event takes place outdoors under a roof\, so please dress appropriately for the weather.\n 	Participants should bring their own lunch.\n 	Please note that the Garden Workshops involve some physical work.

SUMMARY:Hokusai Manga and Manga: Pictures that Come to Life
DESCRIPTION:Combining the perspectives of art history and manga studies\, this talk discusses four wide-spread assumptions about the Hokusai Manga\, that is\, that they are “random sketches\,” “funny pictures\,” a painting manual\, and the prototype of contemporary Japanese comics. As distinct from previous attempts by both art historians and cultural-studies critics\, the Hokusai Manga are approached from the perspective of contemporary comics\, interrelating the aspects of media\, genre\, pictorial storytelling\, and participatory culture.\n\n\n\nDR. JAQUELINE BERNDT:\n\nDr. Jaqueline Berndt is Professor in Japanese Language and Culture at Stockholm University. From 1991 to 2016 she worked at Japanese universities\, teaching mainly visual culture and media studies in Japanese as well as English\; eventually she served as Professor of Comics Theory at the Graduate School of Manga\, Kyoto Seika University. Holding a first degree in Japanese Studies (1987) and a PhD in Aesthetics/Art Theory from Humboldt University Berlin (1991)\, her teaching and research has been informed by media aesthetics and exhibition studies\, focusing on manga as graphic narratives\, anime\, and modern Japanese art. For The Japan Foundation she directed the world-traveling exhibition Manga Hokusai Manga: Approaching the Master’s Compendium from the Perspective of Contemporary Comics (2016-). She has widely published in Japanese\, German and English\, for example\, the co-edited volume Manga’s Cultural Crossroads (2013)\, and the monographs Phänomen Manga (1995) and Manga: Medium\, Art and Material (2015).\n\n[caption id="attachment_8005" align="alignleft" width="788"] © Shiriagari Kotobuki 2015[/caption]\n\nMANGA:\n\nThe name manga easily invites people to draw a direct connection between Hokusai’s famous compendium (1814–1878) and contemporary manga\, that is\, serialized entertaining fiction which has been shaped by the specifically Japanese publication format of the (gender-specific) manga magazine since the late 1950s. Both types of manga are in the main characterized by monochrome line drawings which give the impression of being in motion\, and although they differ with regards to narrativity\, character design\, panel layout\, and balloons\, they have in common that their users partake in bringing the pictures to life.

SUMMARY:Hariko Folk Toys Celebrate the Japanese New Year
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_11829" align="alignright" width="419"] Photo by Marissa James[/caption]\n\nIn the Japanese Zodiac\, 2019 celebrates the Year of the Boar.\n\nTo ensure good luck\, Japanese traditionally purchase a small figure that represents the zodiac animal of the current year. Handmade of hariko (papier-mâché) and hand-painted\, these animals vary in style across the regions of Japan and are known for their charming shapes\, bright colors\, and\, often\, their bobbing heads.\n\nThe hariko animals on display here come from the collection of Lynn Geis\, a longtime volunteer guide and friend of Portland Japanese Garden. While living in Japan for a year Lynn fell in love with these figures and\, ever since\, has collected a few more every time she travels back to Japan. To date\, this has brought her collection to over 170 hariko animals and dolls.\n\nThis year also commemorates the 60th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Portland and Sapporo\, the capitol of Japan’s northernmost island\, Hokkaido. In honor of this relationship which initiated the creation of the Portland Japanese Garden\, we are celebrating the Year of Hokkaido in our exhibitions and events.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shamisen
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_11694" align="alignright" width="261"] Courtesy of Kazutaka Fukui[/caption]\n\nHave you ever heard a shamisen? Shamisen literary means ‘three strings\,’ rightly describing this traditional instrument that somewhat resembles a banjo. We will proudly present Kazutaka "Kazu" Fukui for the first solo shamisen performance ever held at the Garden's Cultural Corner.\n\nKazu is currently residing in Portland as a fellow gardener at the Portland Japanese Garden. Yes\, he has double professions\; a Master gardener and a Master player of shamisen. He started his shamisen training at age 16 and won a prize at a national shamisen competition in Japan at age 19. Now he plays shamisen all over the world. Along with his musical pursuit\, he studied gardening and earned a Master’s degree in Landscaping Architecture at the Tokyo University of Agriculture. Being in two professions – sound and visual – Kazu disseminates Japanese culture through his unique approaches.\n\nEnjoy Kazu’s world!

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner for an afternoon of storytelling and sing-a-long. Our storytelling program is filled with traditional Japanese mukashi banashi -  "tales of long ago" presented by Rie Ogawara.\n\n\n\nRie was born in Nagano\, Japan and as a child loved being read to and eventually loved reading classic Japanese tales and discovering the rich messages of human morality embedded within the story lines. Working as a nanny\, Rie enjoyed reading to her young charges\, as well as to seniors at nursing homes. She recognizes the power of the spoken word and appreciates the pleasure it can bring to the listener\, as well as the reader. Rie holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of California-Berkeley.\n\nThese tales share a world in which good triumphs over evil\, and where love\, honesty\, respect\, hard work\, and determination carry with them great power.\n\nCome explore and learn about the culture of Japan through the folklore and folktales that have been told to generations. We have chosen stories and nursery rhymes that will appeal to the young and the young-at-heart.

SUMMARY:Ice & Stone
DESCRIPTION:Ice &amp\; Stone: Suiseki Viewing Stones from the Huntington &amp\; Hokkaido Photographs by Michael Kenna (Extended display in Tanabe Gallery through April 7)\n\nSuiseki (水石) is the Japanese art of stone appreciation. From ancient times\, people in Japan have found beauty in rocks and cherished them for their unique patterning and power to evoke the grandeur of nature. Contemplating the subtle\, graceful forms of nature’s artistry in stone is said to uplift the spirit and stimulate the mind.\nViewing stones are rocks found in nature - along a riverbank\, in the desert\, or beside a mountain trail.\nWind\, water\, and time have transformed these rocks into shapes resembling landscapes\, distant mountains\, animals\, and other forms.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12782" align="alignnone" width="788"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nCenturies of blown sand may have etched the pattern of swaying grass into a stone’s surface\, while a cluster of mineral deposits in another stone may reveal the petals of a chrysanthemum or a mist-shrouded moon. Resemblances are usually suggestive rather than literal\, inviting the viewer to look beyond the surface for deeper meaning.\n\nViewing stones were introduced to Japan from China around 600 CE. During the Muromachi period (1338–1573)\, the influence of the tea ceremony and other arts associated with Zen Buddhism led to a preference for stones with subtle forms that were more metaphor than precise representation. By the late 19th century\, the art had become more formalized with the development of classifications\, most importantly Suiseki (scenic landscape forms and images reflecting the natural world).\n\n[caption id="attachment_12756" align="alignleft" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nSub-classifications range from Taki-ishi (waterfall-shaped stones) and Kuzuya-ishi (hut-shaped stones) to Bi-seki (beautiful stones that may be polished). The 20th century saw the popularity of viewing stones expand into the international community. Today viewing stone appreciation is practiced by enthusiasts around the world. A key element in the art of viewing stones is the way the stones are displayed.\n\nEach stone is positioned to be seen from its most compelling angle\, typically mounted on a hand-carved wooden base\, known as a daiza\, or set in a sand-filled tray\, a suiban.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12781" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nAs an element in a formal tokonoma display\, viewing stones are paired with hanging scrolls\, bonsai or miniature sculptures. The resulting pictorial composition expands their ability to conjure an array of human emotions and incorporate seasonal references.\n\nFor this exhibition\, a selection of black and white landscapes of Hokkaido by photographer Michael Kenna are paired with complementing stones including some from Kamui Kotan\, a site long held sacred by the Ainu people as the “Village of the Gods.”\n\n[caption id="attachment_12783" align="alignleft" width="376"]  Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nThis exhibition celebrates the beauty of stones with dozens of outstanding pieces from the American Viewing Stone Resource at the Huntington Library\, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino\, California. Selected are prime examples of suiseki collected from important historical sites throughout Japan including Kyoto’s Kamogawa and the Ishikari River in Hokkaido.\n\nComplementing them are viewing stones from California and the Pacific Northwest.\nThe similarities evidenced between many Japanese and American examples attest to their common birthplace deep below the ocean floor millions of years ago.\n[caption id="attachment_12757" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nThis exhibition on loan from the prestigious Huntington Library and Gardens features suiseki viewing stones from the collection of Jim Greaves (Curator of the American Viewing Stone Resource Center at the Huntington).\n\nThe exhibition is co-curated by Mr. Greaves and by Huntington Cultural Curator\, Robert Hori.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12633" align="aligncenter" width="788"] Dusk Island Shrine\, Suttsu\, Hokkaido\, Japan\, 2002.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Katazome
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Garden for a traditional demonstration of katazome\, a Japanese stencil dyeing technique. This demonstration will take place in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner from 1-2pm.\n\nAbout Katazome\n[caption id="attachment_12764" align="alignright" width="320"] Photo courtesy of Marilyn Robert[/caption]\n\nKatazome is a Japanese stencil dyeing technique. It is a paste-resist process used to dye cloth and paper. This dyeing technique utilizes natural materials - paper\, rice paste and soymilk. Katazome means ‘repeat dying”\, referring to the use of a stencil to create a repetitive pattern. Traditional Katazome designs feature natural motifs\, such as flowers and birds.\n\nThe first part of the process is to create a stencil which is made with hand-made mulberry paper\, called shibugami\, the process to make shibugami is to soak the paper in persimmon tannin which makes it waterproof. Rice paste is used as the resist and is applied through the stencil onto the fabric or paper. Once the rice paste cures\, the fabric is submerged in a dye bath. After the depth of color is achieved\, the fabric is dried and then the paste is rinsed off. Katazome is often referred to as an early version of screen-printing.

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture Series: Rhoda Maurer
DESCRIPTION:Approaching Nature from the Slant: A Journey Towards Understanding our Shared Humanity\nPlease note that this event will take place at its scheduled time of 2pm today\, Thursday\, February 28.\nAn accomplished horticulturalist shares wisdom not just about plants but on spirituality\, social justice\, sustainability\, environmentalism\, and finding wisdom in different worldviews.   Rhoda Maurer narrates her journey as a horticulturalist and photographer to find a connection with nature that restores a sense of awe\, mystery\, and wisdom to our lives. Solutions to complex global challenges cannot be found without looking deeply within ourselves and the relationships we tend with the land\, other people\, and all living beings. From the interconnectedness of science\, art and wellness to the question of what the new social purpose of botanical gardens should be\, Maurer will braid together insights on art\, science\, community\, and the relationship between humankind and “Nature with a capital N.”\n\n[caption id="attachment_12369" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jay Potter\, courtesy of the Ithaca Times[/caption]\nAbout the speaker\nRhoda Maurer is Plant Growth Facilities Manager for the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station\, which is dedicated to sustainable science for life and hosts more than 400 research\, teaching and outreach projects year round. She served as Director of Horticulture for Cornell Botanic Gardens\, where she was responsible for curating more than 40\,000 plants representing across 450 acres of arboretum and botanic gardens and setting a vision for the program with an eye towards conservation and sustainability. Previous posts included managing the research greenhouses at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva\, NY and serving as the Assistant Curator at the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. She has trained at The Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden in Washington and the Royal Horticulture Society’s Garden at Wisley in the United Kingdom.  She recently completed a Masters of Arts in Science in a Changing World from the University of Massachusetts at Boston\, inspired by a desire to scaffold an appreciation of how horticulture\, art\, and awareness of our environment add value to people’s lives across cultures and disciplines of study.\n\nMaurer recently sat down with the Garden's Training Center Director\, Kristin Faurest\, to speak more about her work. Find the interview\, here.\n\nThe Garden+ lecture series places the Japanese garden in bold and inspiring new contexts by bringing designers\, authors\, practitioners\, and researchers to the Garden to share fresh ideas.  Come experience original perspectives\, thought-provoking research\, and new creative work. We bring presenters from around the globe to shed new light on how gardens connect to subjects as diverse as spirituality\, technical innovation\, architecture\, culture\, design\, and society -- all made more resonant with the  Garden itself as a backdrop. Garden+ is a presentation of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, which is supported by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner for an afternoon of storytelling and sing-a-long. Our storytelling program is filled with traditional Japanese mukashi banashi -  "tales of long ago" presented by Rie Ogawara.\n\n\n\nRie was born in Nagano\, Japan and as a child loved being read to and eventually loved reading classic Japanese tales and discovering the rich messages of human morality embedded within the story lines. Working as a nanny\, Rie enjoyed reading to her young charges\, as well as to seniors at nursing homes. She recognizes the power of the spoken word and appreciates the pleasure it can bring to the listener\, as well as the reader. Rie holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of California-Berkeley.\n\nThese tales share a world in which good triumphs over evil\, and where love\, honesty\, respect\, hard work\, and determination carry with them great power.\n\nCome explore and learn about the culture of Japan through the folklore and folktales that have been told to generations. We have chosen stories and nursery rhymes that will appeal to the young and the young-at-heart.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Stroll the new Cultural Village as accomplished Koto Harpist\, Mitsuki Dazai\, shares her music.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture Series: Sou Fujimoto
DESCRIPTION:Between Architecture and Nature\nFujimoto’s architecture practice challenges convention by blurring boundaries between interior and exterior\, structure and furniture\, nature and architecture. His ideas are given voice not just in large-scale projects such as the White Tree multi-use tower in Montpellier\, France\, but also in playful projects like an installation evoking the feeling of walking through a forest of light\, and a visual statement at the Chicago Biennale on ‘found architecture.’ Drawing inspiration from nature – he cites the forest landscape of his Hokkaido childhood as a formative influence – his interpretations on tradition and the relation of the built and natural environments skip effortlessly across centuries and national borders. In a striking visual presentation\, Fujimoto will share the visionary philosophy and ideas behind some of his major projects and help us rethink tradition and the relation between the built and natural environments.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12808" align="alignright" width="376"] Sou Fujimoto[/caption]\n\nOne of the best-known Japanese architects today\, Sou Fujimoto founded his eponymous architecture firm in 2000. The Hokkaido-born Fujimoto rose to fame a few years later after winning the Architectural Review Awards prize for emerging personalities in the world of architecture for three years in a row. His works fit into this place between “the natural and the human artificial”\, as revealed by his many homes in Japan: the T House (2005)\, with its floral layout\, consisting of one big room which irradiates outward with centripetal tension: House N (2008)\, with its concentric shell-shaped structure\; the Final Wooden House (2008)\, with huge wooden beams forming its walls\, floor and roof\; the transparent house NA (2010)\, with its glass walls\, inspired by life in a tree. Reflection on the integration of natural and architectural elements is a key theme in his projects both inside and outside of Japan. Some of his most significant works include the cloud-like mesh structure of the Serpentine Gallery in London and the White Tree apartment tower in France. In 2012 Fujimoto was a member of the team winning the Golden Lion at the Architecture Exhibition in Venice.\nThis event has sold out.\nLimited copies of his book Sou Fujimoto Architecture Works 1995-2015 (Toto\, 2015) will be available for purchase and signing at the event.\n\nThe Garden+ lecture series places the Japanese garden in bold and inspiring new contexts by bringing designers\, authors\, practitioners\, and researchers to the Garden to share fresh ideas.  Come experience original perspectives\, thought-provoking research\, and new creative work. We bring presenters from around the globe to shed new light on how gardens connect to subjects as diverse as spirituality\, technical innovation\, architecture\, culture\, design\, and society -- all made more resonant with the  Garden itself as a backdrop. Garden+ is a presentation of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, which is supported by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Camellia Demonstration & Lecture by Robert Herald
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_8070" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\nCamellias: The Revival of an Aristocrat\nJoin horticulturalist Robert Herald in a visual exploration of camellias. Robert will discuss the full subject of flower types\, flowering times\, camellia culture (including pruning)\, landscape uses and companion plantings. \n\nDuring the 19th century\, camellias were considered a “Queen of Flowers” and often compared to the beauty of a rose. Native to Japan\, China and SE Asia\, their elegant waxy blossoms appear during the grayest months of the year – from October to April. Essentially insect &amp\; pest resistant\, drought tolerant\, and easily pruned\, camellias provide so much for so little care and attention. Unfortunately\, this regal group of garden shrubs is often overlooked for a more “modern” palette.\n\nLet’s learn why the camellia was so valued by Japanese &amp\; Chinese gardeners. It’s time that we celebrate camellias again!\n\nBefore or after this event\, enjoy the Oregon Camellia Society exhibition being held March 30 - 31 at Portland Japanese Garden in the Yanai Classroom.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n[caption id="attachment_12647" align="alignleft" width="376"] Photo by Kathy Lintault[/caption]\nAbout the speaker\nRobert Herald has been gardening his entire life. Beginning in his mother’s garden\, Robert has had a life long passion for all plants ornamental. He received a degree in botany from Iowa Sate University with an emphasis in taxonomy and ornamental horticulture. Robert has spent most of his professional career working in public horticulture with a short stint as owner of a garden design and maintenance business. He began his professional horticultural career at Longwood Gardens\, Kennett Square\, Pennsylvania. Here he worked for 17 years – first as a curatorial assistant and then as a head gardener. During his time at Longwood\, he also taught two 7-week\, adult education courses focusing on ornamental shrubs\, their identification\, care and garden merits.\n\nIn 2004\, he took the new job opportunity to develop a modern plant records system at the Chanticleer Foundation\, also in Pennsylvania. He spent the following 7 years cataloging and mapping their species-rich horticultural displays. Robert has broad experience working with a wide range of plants\, and he has lectured and taught courses on a variety of horticultural topics.\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Seattle Ohara School of Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_3785" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ohara Ikebana / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nVisit the Garden April 13-14 between 10am - 4pm to view the Seattle Ohara School of Ikebana Exhibition held in the Yanai Classroom.\n\nWhat distinguishes ikebana from other approaches to flower arrangement is its asymmetrical form and the use of “empty” space as essential features of the composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial. Ikebana shares these aesthetic characteristics with traditional Japanese paintings\, gardens\, architecture\, and design. Members of the Seattle Chapter of the Ohara School of Ikebana set the tone for spring with an array of exquisite designs on display in the Yanai Classroom.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shakuhachi Flute with Araki Kodo VI
DESCRIPTION:Join us today from 1-2pm for a special shakuhachi bamboo flute recital at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner by our musical partner.\nABOUT ARAKI KODO VI\n[caption id="attachment_13444" align="alignright" width="251"] Photo courtesy of Araki Kodo VI[/caption]\n\nIn April of 1988\, at the age of 17\, Hanzaburo Araki picked up the instrument of his father and grandfathers for the first time. Four months later\, at a sold-out concert in Shimonoseki\, Japan\, before contemporaries and enthusiasts\, he made his debut to the exacting standards of his father\, Araki Kodo V\n\nFor the next four years he played and instructed extensively in Japan\, both privately and at Keio University\, during which time he was named Baikyoku IV\, setting him in line to continue the family tradition. Upon returning to the United States he continued to play and teach at several prestigious institutions. A panel leader and workshop host at the Seattle Folklife Festival\, Araki has performed every year from 1998 to 2012. He has also performed for the Gates Estate\, Seattle Art Museum\, Seattle Asian Art Museum and at the Japanese Gardens (Seattle and Portland). In 2009\, he was named Araki Kodo VI by his father in a small ceremony in Tokyo.\n\nNamed after Araki Hanzaburo (Kodo II)\, he is the 6th generation to be named a shakuhachi master and the world’s only player to carry that title. His namesake had a profound effect on the art form. One of Araki’s (Kodo II) main accomplishments was an improvement in shakuhachi notation. In classic “honkyoku\,” or solo playing\, there was no need to indicate rhythms and tempos\; ensemble playing required precision and clarity regarding time and speed. Araki (Kodo II) developed a system of notation consisting of katakana characters and a system of dots and lines which indicate rhythm that is in common usage to this day.\nLearn more about Araki Kodo VI.\n

SUMMARY:Northern Lights:  Ceramic Art of Hokkaido Revisited
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_13460" align="alignright" width="251"] Photography by katomi/STUDIO EYE[/caption]\n\nNorthern Lights: Ceramic Art of Hokkaido Revisited follows up on an exhibition held at the Portland Japanese Garden a decade ago and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Hokkaido Pottery Society. A long sister-city relationship between the Hokkaido Pottery Society and the Oregon Pottery Association has resulted in numerous reciprocal exhibitions\, and the bonds between these potters continue to flourish.\n\nThe exhibition\, guest curated by Sachiko Matsuyama\, features major works by 21 established artists of the Hokkaido Pottery Society\, with additional work by the broader membership. It is held in conjunction with the Year of Hokkaido at Portland Japanese Garden which commemorates the 60th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Portland and Sapporo.\n\n[caption id="attachment_13462" align="alignleft" width="251"] Photography by katomi/STUDIO EYE[/caption]\n\nDuring the Meiji period (1868 - 1912)\, abundant land and government support prompted artisans including papermakers\, silk farmers\, and potters to flock to Hokkaido from around the country. Almost all the existing kilns in Hokkaido were established following WWII. There are more than 400 potters in Hokkaido today\, most of them working as individual artists.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThis exhibition is sponsored by The Standard and by Katherine and Mark Frandsen.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a free koto harp performance by Mitsuki Dazai of Oregon Koto-Kai.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture Series: Christian Tagsold
DESCRIPTION:Spaces in Translation: Japanese Gardens and the West\nThe German author of Spaces in Translation: Japanese Gardens and the West discusses his provocative and groundbreaking theories that the idea of the Japanese garden has less to do with Japan's history and traditions than with the country’s interactions with the West. Tagsold\, who has researched over eighty Japanese gardens in ten countries\, explores their history\, popularity\, and shifting aesthetic\, as well as that most elusive concept -- authenticity.\n\nLimited copies of Christian Tagsold's book Spaces in Translation: Japanese Gardens and the West will be available for purchase and signing at the event.\n\n\nAbout the speaker\nChristian Tagsold is Associate Professor at the Institute for Modern Japanese Studies\, University of Düsseldorf. He writes on Japanese garden in the West\, sport mega-events in Japan\, and Japanese diasporas in Europe. He has been researching Japanese gardens in Europe and the USA since 2006.  Spaces in Translation (Penn Press) appeared in August 2017.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThe Garden+ lecture series places the Japanese garden in bold and inspiring new contexts by bringing designers\, authors\, practitioners\, and researchers to the Garden to share fresh ideas.  Come experience original perspectives\, thought-provoking research\, and new creative work. We bring presenters from around the globe to shed new light on how gardens connect to subjects as diverse as spirituality\, technical innovation\, architecture\, culture\, design\, and society -- all made more resonant with the  Garden itself as a backdrop. Garden+ is a presentation of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, which is supported by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Bamboo Art
DESCRIPTION:Bamboo\, A Collaboration With Nature\nBamboo has a wonderfully simple structure which lends itself to being shaped by hand into objects of beauty.\n\nCharissa Brock\, a local artist who has been working with bamboo for close to 20 years\, will first talk about bamboo as a plant then walk viewers through the process of preparing material to weave a simple basket.\n\n&nbsp\;\nAbout the speaker\nCharissa Brock is a fiber artist working with bamboo\, a giant grass that has been used for centuries to create baskets and other everyday objects. She integrates wood\, glass\, paper and thread as visual accents and structural components. Her abstract sculptures are crafted using basketry\, woodworking\, and fiber art techniques.  In addition to her studio practice\, she teaches workshops across the United States. In spring of 2017\, a Japanese TV show hosted her in Japan\, and she had the opportunity to interact with members of the bamboo community for an episode of “Who wants to Come to Japan?”  That exceptional opportunity allowed her to meet and learn from people with a long tradition of working with the material she loves. Her artwork is in private collections nationwide as well as Arizona State University Museum\, the Rivermark Hotel\, and the Hyatt Regency Maui. Her work is represented by Riversea Gallery in Astoria\, Oregon and Viewpoints Gallery in Maui.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_13639" align="alignleft" width="259"] Ceramic work by Larry Nelson\, photo by Loren Nelson[/caption]\n\nJoin the Garden for a ceramic demonstration by artist Larry Nelson. Larry's work is assembled from elements often produced via slipcasting\, throwing\, press molding\, and rolling soft slabs.\n\nLarry will demonstrate his assembly process\, show carving techniques to add imperfections to the surface and he will demonstrate his unique way of throwing on a potters wheel.\n\n[caption id="attachment_13640" align="alignright" width="267"] Ceramic work by Larry Nelson\, photo by Loren Nelson[/caption]\nArtist Statement\nSometimes the clay is cooperative\, a partner in the vision.  Sometimes it’s contrary.  Working with it is always collaboration.\nWhile the clay prefers to relax in elegant\, organic shapes I challenge it to take the shape of something it doesn’t want to be.  Rigidly straight.  Machined.  As though the piece was cobbled from spare parts found on a boilermaker's workbench.  Held together with nuts and bolts.  Handles made of pipe.\n\nWhen I’ve shaped the clay and we’re both content with the result\, I find myself negotiating with the glaze.\n\nIn the end\, I’ve shaped the clay and applied the glaze but the final decisions are made in the kiln.  The outcome is\, without a doubt\, the result of a three-way partnership between the clay\, the glaze\, and me.\n\nIf all goes well\, the collaboration has produced some interesting pieces and I've had a chance to exercise my creativity.\n\nIf all goes well\, my work will conjure a smile\, incite a chuckle\, or perhaps pour a cup of tea or hold your morning coffee.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a free koto harp performance by Mitsuki Dazai of Oregon Koto-Kai.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture Series: Balazs and Botond Bognar
DESCRIPTION:Nature\, Ritual\, Craft: Kengo Kuma and Portland Japanese Garden\nYou could say that my aim is ‘to recover the place’. The place is a result of nature and time\; this is the most important aspect. Transparency is a characteristic of Japanese architecture\; I try to use light and natural materials to get a new kind of transparency. --Kengo Kuma\n\nBalazs and Botond Bognar present a public lecture at the Garden to mark the launch of their new book\, Kengo Kuma: Portland Japanese Garden (Rizzoli\, 2019). Come join us on the Garden’s beautiful Overlook to hear the story of the creation of the Garden’s Cultural Village and the inspiration it took from Japan’s monzen-machi\, the small settlements built in front of gates or shrines. The conversation will touch on the Japanese tradition of dwelling in harmony with nature\, the Garden’s evolution into a world-renowned Japanese cultural organization\, and the bold vision shared across the Pacific that moved the project forward to fruition. The evening will be a chance to learn firsthand about the elements and features in the Cultural Village and their ancient lineage in Japan\, become acquainted with the craftspeople whose work graces the Village\, and gain insights into how Kuma and the Garden’s leadership sought to shape the experience of visitors to the Garden for generations to come.\n\nA limited number of copies of Kengo Kuma: Portland Japanese Garden (Rizzoli\, 2019) will be available at the event. Advance copies of the book can be ordered from our Gift Shop.\nAbout the Speakers\n[caption id="attachment_13417" align="alignleft" width="175"] Photo by Miko Hayashi[/caption]\n\nBalazs Bognar is an American architect and a design director at Kengo Kuma and Associates.

We bring presenters from around the globe to shed new light on how gardens connect to subjects as diverse as spirituality\, technical innovation\, architecture\, culture\, design\, and society -- all made more resonant with the  Garden itself as a backdrop. Garden+ is a presentation of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, which is supported by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture Series: Pico Iyer with Diane Durston - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Autumn Light: Observing the Seasons and Changes in Japan\nThe bestselling author\, whose most recent work is Autumn Light: A Season of Fire and Farewells (Knopf\, 2019) will be joined by our Curator Emeritus\, Diane Durston\, for a conversation about the Japanese sense of seasonality\, living with the cycles of the seasons\, and learning to accept the constancy of change.\n\nWhether he is guiding readers and listeners to distant lands or encouraging them to explore unknown terrain in their own hearts\, Iyer eloquently speaks to the need to open up space in our crowded lives and remember what we care about most. The event takes place as a conversation with the Garden’s Curator Emeritus\, Diane Durston\, about the Japanese sense of seasonality\, living with the cycles of the seasons\, and learning to accept the constancy of change. The book -- an account of a loss in the family that leads Iyer to contemplate how to hold on to what we love\, when living things are ephemeral and part of the cycle of seasons and nature – will be on sale at the event.\n\nLimited copies of Pico Iyer's book Autumn Light: A Season of Fire and Farewells (Knopf\, 2019) are available for sale in the Gift Shop and the author will be available for book signings on the day of the event.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12377" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Brigitte Lacombe[/caption]\nAbout the Speakers\nPico Iyer is a novelist\, author of several works of non-fiction\, and a featured TED Talks speaker\, who has been referred to as “arguably the greatest living travel writer” by Outside magazine. He divides his time between California and Japan and has said that “home has less to do with a piece of soil than a piece of soul.” He has been a regular contributor on literature for The New York Review of Books\, on travel for the Financial Times\, and on global culture and the news for Time\, The New York Times\, and magazines around the world.\n\n[caption id="attachment_10549" align="alignleft" width="211"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nDiane Durston is a writer\, lecturer\, cultural consultant\, and educator\, who lived for 18 years in Japan. For more than a decade\, she served as Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art &amp\; Education at the Portland Japanese Garden\, where she has been instrumental in expanding the Garden’s reputation as a center of cultural learning. She is the author of several books\, including Kyoto: Seven Paths to the Heart of the City. She has developed cultural programs introducing Japanese art\, culture\, religion\, history\, and gardens for the University of Pennsylvania\, the Yale Galleries\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, and other museums and universities.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThe Garden+ lecture series places the Japanese garden in bold and inspiring new contexts by bringing designers\, authors\, practitioners\, and researchers to the Garden to share fresh ideas.  Come experience original perspectives\, thought-provoking research\, and new creative work. We bring presenters from around the globe to shed new light on how gardens connect to subjects as diverse as spirituality\, technical innovation\, architecture\, culture\, design\, and society -- all made more resonant with the  Garden itself as a backdrop. Garden+ is a presentation of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, which is supported by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_14118" align="alignleft" width="250"] Photo courtesy of Donna Cole[/caption]\n\nDrawing upon the natural beauty of the Pacific Rim\, artist Donna Cole will hand form a ceramic vessel and sculpture inspired by the rhythm of water against land.\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\n\nDonna Cole is a ceramic artist and educator. Formally trained by master ceramist Professor Yoshi Ikeda\, Donna is influenced by  Japanese aesthetics to create ceramic works that reflect balance and harmony in nature.\n\n[caption id="attachment_14119" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo courtesy of Donna Cole[/caption]\n\nDonna formulates glazes that grow into crystalline formations during the cooling of the kiln. This movement creates a natural flow of glazes\, creating a unique ceramic surface that cannot be produced by hand.\n\nDonna’s sculpture draws upon the aesthetics of Japanese Stone Appreciation to invite viewers to awaken their imaginations and create their own story.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shamisen
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_11694" align="alignright" width="261"] Courtesy of Kazutaka Fukui[/caption]\n\nHave you ever heard a shamisen? Shamisen literally means ‘three strings\,’ rightly describing this traditional instrument that somewhat resembles a banjo. We will proudly present Kazutaka "Kazu" Fukui for his shamisen performance held at the Garden's Cultural Corner.\n\nKazu is currently residing in Portland as a fellow gardener at the Portland Japanese Garden. Yes\, he has double professions\; a Master gardener and a Master player of shamisen. He started his shamisen training at age 16 and won a prize at a national shamisen competition in Japan at age 19. Now he plays shamisen all over the world. Along with his musical pursuit\, he studied gardening and earned a Master’s degree in Landscaping Architecture at the Tokyo University of Agriculture. Being in two professions – sound and visual – Kazu disseminates Japanese culture through his unique approaches.\n\nEnjoy Kazu’s world!

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Woodworking with Patrick Gracewood
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Gracewood is an artist carving space\, time and wood. He has created sculpture for film and television\, and architectural ornament for historic buildings and new construction. Patrick maintains a committed studio practice in NE Portland. Join Patrick in the Cultural Corner to watch the artist at work carving small figures in the style of Enkū and showing recent sculpture.\n\n[caption id="attachment_14083" align="alignleft" width="282"] Photo courtesy of Patrick Gracewood[/caption]\n\nArtist Statement \n\nMy art tells stories\, my collaborator is wood. In my current series\, I recycle construction debris\, coaxing these manufactured shapes into revealing their natural irregularities. I work with cross sections of wood and pay special attention to the grain and texture. The history of the tree becomes an integral part of the finished sculpture. Looking at the art you can see the passage of time because each line is one year of growth.\n\n[caption id="attachment_14084" align="alignright" width="251"] Photo courtesy of Patrick Gracewood[/caption]\n\nMajor influences on my wood sculpture are the Japanese monk\, Enku\, and the Taiwanese artist Ju Ming. Both influenced my work with their direct approach to carving.\n\nEnkū (円空) (1632–1695) was a Japanese Buddhist monk\, poet and sculptor during the early Edo period. He was born in Mino Province (present-day Gifu Prefecture) and is famous for carving some 120\,000 wooden statues of the Buddha and other Buddhist icons. He used his art as devotional objects\, giving them away\, and to payment for lodging on his pilgrimages to temples throughout Japan.\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Introduction to Japanese Style Bookbinding - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis event is sold out.\n\nConsider pairing this workshop with the workshop "Creative Design with Japanese Style Bookbinding" (on Sunday\, June 16).\n\nLearn how to build and hand-stitch your own books using the four classic Japanese bookbinding techniques. Start by sewing together your instruction manual with the most basic stitch. Make a second book using one of the variations: the reinforced corners\, the tortoiseshell\, or the hemp-leaf pattern. Learn about paper grain and how to align the grain to strengthen the book’s spine.\n\nUseful tools and supplies to bring are small scissors\, a snap-blade craft knife\, a self-healing cutting mat\, a metal ruler or straightedge\, a pencil/sharpener/eraser\, darning needles\, needle-nosed pliers.\n\nThere will be a 45-minute break for lunch\, and students should bring a sack lunch. Coffee\, tea\, water and light snacks will be available during the workshop.\n\nStudents will have the option to purchase a Bookbinding Kit if they do not have basic bookbinding tools. The kit is $25.00 and includes a bone folder\, binding clips\, beeswax\, darning needles\, and storage box. Students are encouraged to bring these tools if they have them.\nAbout the Instructor\n[caption id="attachment_13673" align="alignleft" width="251"] Photo by Peter Friedman[/caption]\n\nBarbara Setsu Pickett is an Associate Professor Emeritus in the Department of Art at the University of Oregon in Eugene\, Oregon where she headed the Fibers Area for 33 years. She focuses of her research and creative practice are velvet-weaving\, shibori\, natural dyeing\, and the book arts. Among her awards are a Fulbright Research fellowship in Italy\, a Rockefeller Bellagio residency\, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Gladys Krieble Delmas for Studies in the Veneto fund and Institute of Turkish Studies. She was the Artist-in-Residence for the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco where she wove Japanese-style velvet and sewed Japanese-style books.\n\nShe and her son Michael formed the Mihara Shibori Studio in 2005 and they create highly textured silk scarves in distinctive palettes expanding on the Japanese traditional shibori techniques. They have taught workshops in Istanbul and Seoul and in October 2016 were invited to participate in the Korean Society of Fashion Business conference and fashion exhibition.

He uses wood from sustainable sources like neighborhood trees\, reclaimed building materials and sustainably managed forests in the Pacific Northwest.\n\nDoug divides his time between the sketch book and the shop. He is inspired to create his own spin on design and joinery\, drawing from the Arts and Crafts Movement and Asian aesthetics. His influences include woodworker George Nakashima\, an innovator of 20th century furniture design. He often puts new ideas through a few trials before striking the balance between utility and beauty.\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture Series: Steve Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Reflections on a Residency: Insights to Peace and Understanding\nThe Garden’s CEO will share insights and stories from his newly-completed residency in Japan. During six months in late 2018 and early 2019\, Bloom visited gardens and arts organizations in Japan\, Singapore\, Brazil\, China\, and the U.K. -- telling the story of the Garden\, building new connections\, and seeking opportunities for collaboration and exchange. He’ll reflect on what he learned and on new ways that the Garden can build on its role of facilitating understanding to make the world a more tranquil and peaceful place.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12924" align="alignright" width="251"] Photo by Christina Sjogren[/caption]\nAbout the speaker\nUnder Steve Bloom’s leadership\, Portland Japanese Garden has seen strong institutional and programmatic growth. He oversaw the completion of a $37 million expansion of the Garden and its facilities designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma\, created a curatorial department\, expanded and improved programs in culture\, art\, and education\, established an Japanese Garden Training Center\, formed an International Advisory Board\, and has dramatically increased the Garden’s national and international visibility and recognition.\n\nThe Garden+ Lecture Series places the Japanese garden in bold and inspiring new contexts by bringing designers\, authors\, practitioners\, and researchers to the Garden to share fresh ideas.  Come experience original perspectives\, thought-provoking research\, and new creative work. We bring presenters from around the globe to shed new light on how gardens connect to subjects as diverse as spirituality\, technical innovation\, architecture\, culture\, design\, and society -- all made more resonant with the  Garden itself as a backdrop. Garden+ is a presentation of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, which is supported by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a free koto harp performance by Mitsuki Dazai.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Japanese Marimba
DESCRIPTION:The Garden will offer a free public performance of Japanese Marimba from 1:00-2:00pm in the Japanese Arts Learning Center. Marimba\, pioneered by the "Mother of Marimba\," Keiko Abe\, has a rich history in Japan during the last century. Mrs. Abe and many others worked to develop a style of Marimba playing that was unique in its technique\, composition\, gesture\, and musical language.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12999" align="alignright" width="251"] Courtesy of Sam Wheeler[/caption]\n\nWe are honored to partner with Avneesh Babar and Sam Wheeler. Avneesh  is currently finishing his degree in Music Education from Texas A&amp\;M University- Commerce where he studies with renowned marimba performer\, and Japanese marimba expert\, Dr. Brian Zator. Wheeler has spent  five summers traveling the country performing with some of the nation’s top drum and bugles corps including the Phantom Regiment and his international debut as a marimba soloist as a finalist the International Percussion Institute Marimba Competition in Aberdeen\, Scotland.\n\nUltimately\, the work of Keiko Abe and many others would go on to influence percussion and orchestra music throughout the world. Although the Marimba has been present throughout time\, Japanese Marimba was a further development of Marimba playing which was unique to Japan. The unique compositional voice of Japan spread as pieces like "Itsuki Fantasy" and "Dream of the Cherry Blossoms (Sakura\, Sakura)" have become staples in the American percussion repertoire.\n\n[caption id="attachment_13483" align="alignnone" width="376"] Photo courtesy of Avneesh Babar[/caption]

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_2015" align="alignleft" width="376"] Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nEnjoy a free koto harp performance today in the Cultural Corner by Mitsuki Dazai.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.

SUMMARY:A Chinook Educator in 19th Century Japan: The Story of Ranald MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:A Presentation by \n\nAtusmi Tsukimori (Author\, Unsung Hero)\,\n\nMasaru Yatabe (Chairman\, Friends of MacDonald)\, &amp\;\n\nStephen Kohl (Associate Professor Emeritus\, Japanese Literature\, Asian Studies\, University of Oregon)\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nJoin us for an engaging presentation and panel discussion exploring the connections between native cultures of Japan and the Pacific Northwest through the fascinating figure of Ranald MacDonald. This is a free event (included in Garden admission) and is open to the public.\n\nThe history of connections between Native Peoples of the Pacific Northwest and the Ainu of Hokkaido\, Japan goes back to the 19th century. Ranald MacDonald\, Oregon native\, was born at Fort Astoria in 1824 to a Chinook mother and Scottish father. In his quest to explore distant lands\, he became a sailor in 1848 on the whaling ship Plymouth and convinced the captain to leave him at Rishiri Island\, Hokkaido. There he encountered the native Ainu people\, who took him in before he was taken to Nagasaki\, where the educated MacDonald became an English teacher to officials of the Tokugawa Shogunate. As MacDonald said in his autobiography\, "My plan was to present myself as a castaway ... and to rely on their humanity.”\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute
DESCRIPTION:Shinobue is a Japanese side-blown bamboo flute that has a high-pitched sound. Traditionally shinobue is an important part of the music of festivals\, folk songs\, Shinto ritual\, and theater performances of kabuki and Noh.\n\n\nAbout the Artists\nYumi Torimaru\, founder and director of the local taiko group "TAKOHACHI\," started learning bamboo flute soon after taking up taiko drumming 15 years ago. Yumi has been mostly learning festival flute songs accompanying taiko drums\, and also composed many original flute ensemble songs. She recently received a special award from 'the Internet Shinobue Contest 2018' and performed her original composition in Tokyo\, Japan.\n\nIn Tokyo she met Satoko\, winner of second prize in the shinobue contest. The two have been good friends since the 2018 concert\, and Satoko is now joining Yumi to introduce this beautiful instrument to audiences at Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nSatoko is from Miyazaki\, Japan. She has played at numerous of events with many different units or a solo. In addition to shinobue\, she has learned nohkan and ryuteki (other types of flutes). In May\, she won fourth place at the 'All Japan Shinobue Championship.'\n\n&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Origami
DESCRIPTION:Join the Garden for a special origami demonstration by Yuki Martin from 1-2pm on August 3.\nAbout Yuki Martin\nBorn and raised in Japan\, I enjoyed a fair share of origami just like most Japanese children\, but I had forgotten about it as I grew older. It is only since 2006 that I started folding paper again\, while teaching school aged children. My interest in origami grew over the years since then\, and it eventually became my main subject to teach\, and my passion.\n\nI live in Portland\, Oregon and teach at local schools\, libraries\, camps\, elder care facilities\, correctional facilities\, and at special events. I have taught a wide age range of people from pre-school and school aged children\, teens\, adults\, seniors\, as well as in multi-age and intergenerational settings. I love promoting this form of art that can be enjoyed by a wide variety of people.

SUMMARY:Behind the Shoji - Hokkaido Marketplace
DESCRIPTION:Our popular show and sale event Behind the Shoji returns to Portland Japanese Garden on Saturday\, August 3.\n\nThis year\, in collaboration with the 60th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Portland and Sapporo (the capital of Hokkaido)\, Behind the Shoji will highlight some of Hokkaido’s finest products.\nCelebrating Creativity\n[caption id="attachment_14581" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ainu weaving and embroidery by artist Maki Sekine[/caption]\n\nAs the northernmost island of Japan\, Hokkaido has long been considered a remote land of scenic beauty and rugged landscapes. The very remoteness of Hokkaido has allowed artists the freedom to create\, innovate\, and experiment.\n\nCome marvel at the unparalleled wood and textiles from Hokkaido’s native Ainu peoples\, only available for purchase at Portland Japanese Garden.\nAdmiring Ainu\nAinu embroidery artist Maki Sekine learned about Ainu culture and crafts from her grandparents while she was growing up\, and her natural fascination led to her acquiring woodcarving skills\, attus weaving\, and Ainu pattern embroidery.\n\n[caption id="attachment_14584" align="alignleft" width="381"] Hand-thrown pottery from Kushiro City\, Hokkaido[/caption]\n\nSekine often creates her original works right in front of her customers\, adding new features while still using traditional patterns and techniques. She says\, “Ainu culture is based on love for the family. It would make me happy if works imbued with that sentiment bring feelings of happiness and joy to many people.”\n\nAnother highlight will be intricate coasters\, inspired by popular Japanese patterns\, from the woodworking company Katoh Mokkou of the Kamikawa District of Hokkaido. Katoh Mokkou started making furniture out of solid wood more than 20 years ago. Three types of wood will be on display: Japanese oak\, white birch\, and American walnut.\n\n[caption id="attachment_14583" align="alignright" width="376"] Coasters from Katoh Mokkou Company in Hokkaido[/caption]\n\nAlso available will be tiny clay pots\, hand-thrown on a wheel\, from Kushiro City in Hokkaido. The glaze is then made from charcoal of cherry blossom trees from artist Asanomi’s own fireplace. The studio where these pots are made uses clay exclusively from Shiga prefecture\, where one of only six remaining kilns of ancient Japan is preserved till this day.\nOther Hokkaido Highlights\nFor the first time\, Behind the Shoji will feature regional foods\, including jams and chocolate from Hokkaido’s Aichi Food\, made with local wine. From the contemporary jewelry of Sapporo to decorative glassware of the Otaru area\, this show will have something for all tastes.\n\nCome marvel at the incredible creations designed by Hokkaido artisans. Behind the Shoji runs until Sunday\, September 15.\n\nSponsored by Hokusei North America.\n\nFor event volunteer opportunities\, please call 503-542-9354 or volunteer@japanesegarden.org.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shamisen
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_11694" align="alignright" width="261"] Courtesy of Kazutaka Fukui[/caption]\n\nShamisen literally means ‘three strings\,’ rightly describing this traditional instrument that somewhat resembles a banjo. We will proudly present Kazutaka "Kazu" Fukui for a solo shamisen performance  held at the Garden's Cultural Corner.\n\nKazu is currently residing in Portland as a fellow gardener at the Portland Japanese Garden. Yes\, he has double professions--a Master gardener and a Master player of shamisen. He started his shamisen training at age 16 and won a prize at a national shamisen competition in Japan at age 19. Now he plays shamisen all over the world. Along with his musical pursuit\, he studied gardening and earned a Master’s degree in Landscaping Architecture at the Tokyo University of Agriculture. Being in two professions – sound and visual – Kazu disseminates Japanese culture through his unique approaches.\n\nEnjoy Kazu’s world!

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a free koto harp performance today in the Cultural Corner by Oregon Koto Kai.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.

SUMMARY:A Potter’s Eye: The George Cummings Collection of Japanese Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:[cta align = "right"]\n\nThe ceramics collection of Portland artist George Cummings (b. 1936) encompasses both Japanese pieces and his own hand-crafted works. A Potter’s Eye\, guest-curated by Lynn Katsumoto\, showcases this collection by exploring the confluence of tradition and creativity to present a first-hand look at the global transmission of aesthetics. While working as a potter and teacher\, Cummings began amassing an extensive array of Japanese wares that came to influence his own production.\n\nObjects on display come from regions including Japan’s famed Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyō 六古窯)\, the continuously operating pottery centers of Tamba\, Tokoname\, Shigaraki\, Seto\, Bizen and Echizen. Historically\, wares from these kilns were made for daily use\, never signed nor intended as works of art. The beauty of these irregular\, rough\, and unassuming objects developed through the environment of the kiln\, the texture of locally sourced clay\, and the masterful hand that formed them. Their tactile but quiet beauty complements the frothy green matcha tea at the heart of the tea ceremony.

Fuji and samurai\, have long been synonymous with the culture of Japan.\n\nWith the disappearance of the samurai and influx of Western influence into Japan\, the geisha and their world are one of the few remaining mysteries of the island nation. Only a limited number of cultural experts and scholars hold the key to this ever-evolving role as living conservator of some of Japan’s oldest customs and art forms.\n\nJoin us for this special occasion as Portland Japanese Garden proudly presents three authentic geisha (1 geiko and 2 maiko) from Kyoto along with geisha expert\, Peter MacIntosh\, for an evening of dazzling performance and insightful lecture. This 90-minute narrated performance in one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside Japan not only invites you to the environs of the innermost parlor of Kyoto’s traditional performing art\, but also lays a cultural framework to help demystify geisha culture.

SUMMARY:Portland Ohara School of Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_3785" align="alignleft" width="376"] Ohara Ikebana / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nWhat distinguishes ikebana from other approaches to flower arrangement is its asymmetrical form and the use of “empty” space as essential features of the composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial. Ikebana shares these aesthetic characteristics with traditional Japanese paintings\, gardens\, architecture\, and design. Members of the Portland Chapter of the Ohara School of Ikebana set the tone for autumn with an array of exquisite designs on display in the Yanai Classroom.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_10878" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo courtesy of Ohara Portland[/caption]\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1-2pm for an Ikebana presentation in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in our new Cultural Village by cultural partner Carolyn Alter from the Ohara School of Ikebana.\nAbout Ohara School\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana is noted for developing the moribana style. This broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers. The selection and arrangement of seasonal materials genuinely allows the ikebana devotee to connect with and reflect nature’s beauty.

SUMMARY:Noritaka Tatehana: Refashioning Beauty
DESCRIPTION:\n[cta align="right"]\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden presents the art of Noritaka Tatehana in his first-ever North American solo exhibition. Installed in the Pavilion and Tanabe Galleries located within the manicured grounds of the renowned Gardens\, Tatehana enchants through his use of traditional symbols of sophistication and beauty with the inclusion of new\, never-before-seen artworks created especially for this exhibition. Co-curated by the Garden’s Curator of Art\, Laura J. Mueller\, PhD and Christina Cacouris\, a journalist and curator based in New York\, the exhibition showcases Tatehana’s sculptural and two-dimensional works of art and design that are created by employing the most refined Japanese craftsmanship\, re-imagining the timeless appeal of these celebrated symbols for contemporary audiences.\n\n\n\nAppropriating traditional signs of Japanese elegance and refinement\, Tatehana removes these signs from their original historical context of past centuries and amplifies their symbolic meaning in his art. He emphasizes the practice of takumi (匠)\, or “master craftsmanship\,” grounding his work in the virtuosity of execution. In his seminal Heel-less Shoes Series\, the raised platform sandals denoting the highest-level courtesans are taken from the cobble pathways of the Yoshiwara entertainment district of Edo (present-day Tokyo) in the 18th and 19th centuries and re-imagined with hand-crafted precision to grace the feet of current society’s most fashion-forward celebrities like Lady Gaga and Daphne Guinness.\n\n\n\nAs part of the opening weekend\, Tatehana will give an artist lecture\, Crafting the Art of Japan’s Future\, on October 5. This exhibition is in conjunction with Portland Fashion Week 2019 (October 2-6 at the Old Church Concert Hall in Downtown Portland) Portland’s premier annual Fashion Week draws established and emerging fashion design professionals from around the globe. It is one of the oldest in the U.S. and is considered to be the most sustainably produced Fashion Week in the world.\n\n\n\nTour the Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenting Sponsors: Arlene Schnitzer &amp\; Jordan Schnitzer.&nbsp\; Additional support provided by Oregon Cultural Trust\; Regional Arts &amp\; Culture Council\; Japan Foundation\, Los Angeles\; and Yamato Transport U.S.A.\, Inc.\n\n\n\n[sponsors]\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n

SUMMARY:Textile Exhibition by Andrea Aranow
DESCRIPTION:Japanese Kimono: These recognizable silhouettes and the iconic status they are given could easily make one think they have existed forever. In fact\, the kimono and the role they played in Japanese daily life evolved quickly over the past 100 years. In this lecture\, noted fashion designer and textile collector Andrea Aranow will display a selection of kimono fabric swatches\, chosen from the eight thousand pieces in the Textile Hive collection\, as well as highlighting the connection to the textiles in the collection at the Portland Japanese Garden.\n\nThis survey and lecture will seek to highlight when changes in aesthetic occurred in kimono design\, as well as the fibers and techniques used to execute these magnificent textiles from Japan.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:Ikebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1-2pm for an Ikebana presentation in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in our new Cultural Village by the Ryuseiha School of Ikebana.\nAbout Ryuseiha School\nThe Ryuseiha School of Ikebana focuses on the specific aspects of plants. Arrangements strive to capture and bring out the expression of each branch and leaf. To achieve this goal\, Ryuseiha arrangements will often change the viewpoint\, uniquely modify traditional materials\, or combine elements in a new way.

SUMMARY:Ryuseiha Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_12487" align="alignleft" width="251"] Ryuseiha Ikebana Exhibition / Photo by Peter Friedman[/caption]\n\nWhat distinguishes ikebana from other approaches to flower arrangement is its asymmetrical form and the use of “empty” space as essential features of the composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial. Ikebana shares these aesthetic characteristics with traditional Japanese paintings\, gardens\, architecture\, and design. The Garden is pleased to welcome the Ryuseiha Ikebana Exhibition\, showcasing an array of exquisite arrangements.

SUMMARY:NEW: Professional Intensive Courses
DESCRIPTION:The Japanese Garden Training Center now offers a new educational opportunity: Professional Intensive Courses. Aimed at meeting professional learning needs\, these 2-3 day courses are taught by Garden staff and focus on a single topic.\n\nApply through September 12 for the first Professional Intensive Course: “With An Eye Towards Nature: A Japanese Garden Design Intensive.”\n\nDates: October 23-25\, 2019   Location: Portland Japanese Garden and offsite at the Menucha Retreat Center in the Columbia River Gorge\n\nWho can apply: Design professionals\, primarily landscape architects\, landscape designers\, and architects\, but members of other design disciplines are welcome to apply\n\nCapacity: 12 participants Tuition: $995     Instructors: Sadafumi Uchiyama\, Hugo Torii\, Desirae Wood\, and Kristin Faurest\n\nPre-seminar study module: A required pre-seminar study module will be made available via e-mail\, with readings and a short preparatory assignment to be completed and submitted.\n\nCourse summary: Designing with nature is a powerful but recent current in the western garden making tradition. In Japan\, garden makers have for well over a millennium been guided by the philosophy that nature is the first design teacher. That tradition has much to teach us about making places capable of answering ecological needs and providing visitors with a sense of space\, stillness and balance even in a hectic\, crowded urban setting.\n\nThis three-day course provides 25 hours of theoretical and hands-on training in the Japanese approach to designing with nature and its modern use and application. Traditional techniques of arranging stone\, plants\, and water according to nature’s design principles are placed in historical perspective and given contemporary ecological and social context as tools for creating meaningful spaces that connect people to their environment. On-site thematic garden tours and lectures offer theoretical instruction in observing and analyzing composition and representations of nature in the garden. An offsite excursion offers an opportunity to engage with and study the local landscape. Drawing by hand is foundational to critical thinking\, absorbing skills at the intuitive level\, and developing a cultivated eye\, and is the course’s core hands-on activity.  Participants are expected to keep documentation of their observations and drawing work in a sketchbook.\n\nLearning objectives: \n\nAfter the course\, participants should be able to recognize\, explain and be able to apply to their work:\n\n 	Natural landscape patterns and processes in stone\, water\, and vegetation\, and how they can be abstracted or otherwise referenced in a designed landscape\n 	The traditional Japanese process of designing from the details up\n 	The Japanese aesthetics of suggestion\, simplicity\, irregularity and perishability\n 	Design techniques in Japanese garden arts including asymmetry\, balance\, borrowed scenery\, enclosure\, hide and reveal\, blank space\, and layering\n 	Contrasting ways and scales that nature has historically been represented in Japanese gardens such as literal\, symbolic\, or evocative\n\nSequence:  \n\nA detailed schedule will be provided to applicants after notification of successful admission.\n\nDay 1: Guided by the Garden – Observing and practicing the Japanese way of designing with nature. Guided thematic walks in the Garden will be supported by lectures and drawing assignments.\n\nDay 2: Reading the landscape – An offsite excursion will focus on drawing and journaling to use the natural landscape as a source of design inspiration.\n\nDay 3: Studio work – A design assignment to be completed in the studio will be followed by critiques\, final discussion\, and a visit to the Vollum Library for instructors’ recommendations for further learning.\n\nCourse tuition includes:\n\n 	Preparatory reading materials and Moodle login\n 	All onsite activities and instruction\n 	Garden admission all three days\n 	Learning materials\n 	Writing and drawing materials\n 	Transportation to offsite location\n 	Hot and cold drinks during breaks\n\nOther important information:\n\n 	Tuition includes some but not all meals. More detailed information will be provided prior to the course.\n 	Participants should bring a reusable water bottle and dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather.\n 	The course does not include other forms of hands-on work besides drawing.\n 	A letter certifying successful course completion will be provided upon request for obtaining CEU or PD credits.\n

SUMMARY:Sogetsu Ikebana Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_6289" align="alignleft" width="376"] Sogetsu Ikebana / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigawara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can arrange ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people. Visit the Garden to see these elaborate and colorful flower arrangements presented by the Sogetsu School of Ikebana.

SUMMARY:Kadomatsu Workshop
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_1030" align="alignright" width="378"] Kadomatsu by designer Toru Tanaka / Photo by Jonathan Ley[/caption]\n\nAll across Japan\, during the New Year celebration of O-shogatsu\, you will find the three auspicious plants --- pine\, bamboo\, and plum -- at residential doorways and the entrances to temples\, shrines\, public buildings\, and commercial facilities. These kadomatsu or “gate pines” take various forms according to how the boughs of the three plants are tied together. A common interpretation of their meaning is that pine represents constancy and longevity\, bamboo uprightness and resilience\, and plum the purity and renewal of the first blossoms of spring. This workshop is conducted by staff gardeners at Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n[caption id="attachment_12144" align="alignleft" width="402"] Photo by Peter Friedman[/caption]\n\n 	Event fees are non-refundable and take place rain or shine\, so please dress appropriately for the weather.\n 	Necessary tools\, supplies\, and printed educational material are provided.\n 	The course fee includes Garden admission.\n 	Participants should bring their own lunch.\n 	Please note that the Garden Workshops involve some physical work.

Inspired by early-twentieth century Modern Art movements such as Cubism\, Fauvism\, and Russian Constructivism\, these wearable objects have become works of art in their own right\, transcending the function of everyday fashion.\n\nDating as far back as the 1910s\, these stunning pieces reveal a fascinating aspect of a history of cyclical artistic exchange between Japan and the West.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Things Left Behind & Panel Discussion with Ishiuchi Miyako\, Linda Hoaglund & Laura Mueller
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_15930" align="alignright" width="175"] Linda Hoaglund[/caption]\n\nPresented in conjunction with the exhibition Spirits Rising: ひろしま / hiroshima by Miyako Ishiuchi held from January 18 to March 15 at the Portland Japanese Garden\, Things Left Behind explores the transformative power of the first major international art exhibit devoted to the subject of the atomic bomb. This first exhibition\, at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver\, featured Ishiuchi Miyako's moving color photographs of objects in the possession and clothing once worn by those who perished. Ishiuchi brought the objects and garments—still colorful and fashionable nearly seven decades later—out of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial archive and photographed them in the light\, to trace the spirits of those who had once possessed or worn them. A cinematic reverie about art's potential to recast historical memory.\n\n[caption id="attachment_15785" align="alignright" width="191"] Miyako Ishiuchi[/caption]\n\n[caption id="attachment_15929" align="alignleft" width="268"] Laura J.

Mueller\, PhD.\n\nExplore all upcoming Spirits Rising : ひろしま / hiroshima events.\nDVDs of the film Things Left Behind are available for pre-order from the Garden Gift Shop website here.

Chesterton\, What's Wrong with the World). Every country in the world has a unique aesthetic of mending. The term “boro” serves to describe profusely stitched and mended Japanese textiles that receive an extended life with an abundance of functional but beautiful handwork. In this class\, we will piece\, patch\, appliqué\, and stitch a small cloth suitable for a table mat or personal tool bag. Optionally\, students may bring a cloth to mend: denim jeans or jacket\, moth-eaten wool\, thread bare cotton. A variety of stich work will be sampled.\nAll materials are provided. Optional: students may bring a personal cloth that needs repair to use as a base for the boro patch and stitch. Students should bring a sack lunch and a reusable water bottle.\n\n[caption id="attachment_16270" align="alignleft" width="376"] Photo courtesy of Judilee Fitzhugh[/caption]\n\nSaturday\, November 7: Contact Printing - SOLD OUT\n10am - 3:30pm\n\nAlso called botanical printing or eco-printing\, contact printing is a method of transferring the natural pigments found in leaves and plant material directly to cloth or paper without the use of auxiliary materials. We will use fallen leaves and a variety of techniques to print on paper and cloth\, including a one-of-a-kind scarf that will embody the spirit of the Garden in autumn.\nAll materials are provided. Students are encouraged to collect fallen autumn leaves from their yard for experimentation. Students should bring a sack lunch and a reusable water bottle.\nAbout Judilee Fitzhugh\nJudilee Fitzhugh is a textile artisan who specializes in natural plant dyes and couture sewing. A tour of duty in Japan with the U.S.Navy led to a profound Japanese influence and a lifelong affection for indigo and plant fibers. Her finely crafted work combines natural objects with vintage fabric remnants\, hand weaving and surface design to portray a single moment in history

DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_9358" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Peter Friedman[/caption]\n\nThis event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.  \n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.\n\nOn this journey through the Garden\, an experienced guide provides a foundation of the art of contemplative exploration. They will gently lead awareness away from the business of everyday life\, toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.\n\nEach tour is subtly tailored to the season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through mindful practice.\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required.

DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience. \n\nJoin the Garden for a public demonstration by world-renowned calligraphy artist\, Shoko Kanazawa.

Yasuko always knew Shoko had a gift\, but was not aware her daughter’s art would become a global inspiration.\nBorn with Down syndrome\, Shoko Kanazawa\, 34\, started studying calligraphy at age five and has since refined her craft to achieve worldwide fame. A young woman with talent that demands attention\, Shoko has been selected as one of the official artists of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.\n\n“It is difficult for Shoko to clearly express herself with speech. Calligraphy has offered an outlet where she can fully connect with people while showcasing her artistic talent\,” Yasuko Kanazawa said of her daughter. “She’s helping to change the way people view Down syndrome through her art.”

She began teaching weekly classes and founded Wednesday’s Flowers in 2012. She is a long-time member of the Portland Japanese Garden\, Ikebana International and the North American Ohara Teachers Association. She has attended numerous ikebana conferences in the US and taken classes in Japan\, chaired many exhibitions\, given numerous demonstrations\, and is certified as a Second Term Master of the Ohara School of Ikebana. As a physical therapist for more than thirty years\, she appreciates the healing aspects of nature through practicing ikebana. She loves being outdoors\, gardening\, and the beauty of Japanese culture.\nAbout The Ohara School of Ikebana\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials individual character and arranging it in a naturalistic way. The Ohara School became famous with its introduction of landscape arrangements and in its use of the colorful western flowers arriving in Japan at the turn of the 20th century. Thus\, a new form of ikebana was born called moribana. It is now known as the beginning of modern ikebana.

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, the Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_10615" align="alignright" width="376"] Photo by Tyler Quinn[/caption]\n\nWhen visiting the Garden between June 29 and July 7\, you'll find a colorful display of tanzaku\, or wish strips\, hanging from bamboo in the Garden's Bamboo Allee. This is in celebration of Tanabata\, the Star Festival.  This tradition of writing wishes or prayers comes from the Edo period\, when children were encouraged to practice their writing and hang them from bamboo for all to see. Tanabata is one of five seasonal festivals celebrated in Japan since the 8th century.\nAccording to an old Chinese folk legend\, Vega the Weaver Star and Altair\, the Cowherder Star were lovers. Because of an angry god\, they were allowed to see each other just once a year after crossing the Milky Way on the 7th night of the 7th month.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Flowers for Peace: Ikebana International Exhibition 2020
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience.\n\nIn this special\, three-day exhibition\, Portland Japanese Garden and Ikebana International (Portland Chapter 47)\, presents a series of arrangements by some of Oregon's most revered floral artists connected through the concept of “peace.”\n\nPortland Japanese Garden’s programmatic theme for 2020\, Year of Peace\, is in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Created in the aftermath of WWII as a place of healing between the peoples of the U.S. and Japan\, Through this thematic focus\, the Garden hopes to create opportunities to reflect on ways we experience peace through connections to art\, nature\, and one another.\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” This traditional art form is unique in that asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\nIkebana International is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of ikebana. Ikebana International does not teach any single type of ikebana. Rather\, it is an interest group made up of people of many nationalities who enjoy ikebana and other arts of Japan.\nParticipating Schools\n\n 	Ikenobo (池坊)\n 	Ohara School Oregon Chapter (小原流オレゴン支部)\n 	Ohara School Seattle Chapter (小原流シアトル支部)\n 	Ryuseiha School (龍生派)\n 	Saga Goryu (嵯峨御流)\n 	Sogetsu (草月)\n

SUMMARY:Tatsuzo Shimaoka | The Language of Texture
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_19776" align="alignright" width="248"] Tatsuzo Shimaoka[/caption]\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is proud to present a solo exhibition of one of Japan's most beloved ceramic artists\, Tatsuzo Shimaoka (1919 -2007). This is the first time that the Garden’s entire collection of Shimaoka’s works is displayed in a single exhibition.\nAbout Tatsuzo Shimaoka\nBorn into a family with a long lineage in the art of braiding\, Shimaoka first encountered the world of mingei\, or Japanese folk craft movement\, at Japan Folk Craft Museum\, where he was deeply captivated by the philosophy as well as utilitarian aesthetics of mingei. So galvanized by the ethos of this art form\, he often visited the town of Mashiko\, a region known for traditional Japanese pottery. This was where a group of mingei artists\, including the internationally acclaimed Shoji Hamada (1894 - 1978)\, had established their kilns and studios\, and Shimaoka eventually became Hamada’s apprentice.\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_19778" align="alignleft" width="345"] Tatsuzo Shimaoka[/caption]\n\nIn 1942\, Shimaoka was drafted to the army and spent the next three years serving in Southeast Asia before returning to the town of Mashiko to his career in ceramic art. Half a century later\, Shimaoka rose swiftly to international prominence\, as did his pottery master Hamada\, who became one of Japan's first Living National Treasure* ceramic artists in 1955.\n\nShimaoka's signature style\, known as Jomon-zogan in Japanese\, combines rope-impressed decoration and the white-slip inlay technique used in the Choson Dynasty of Korea.\n\n[caption id="attachment_19777" align="alignright" width="360"] Tatsuzo Shimaoka[/caption]\n\nHis unique incorporation of the rope-impressed inlay was also largely informed by his upbringing\, where he was surrounded by a myriad of braid art since an early age. Shimaoka's distinct style coupled with the use of a variety of glazes enhanced the richness of his earthenware. For Shimaoka’s mastery of the Jomon technique of rope-impressed earthenware\, he was named a Living National Treasure in 1996.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible through a generous donation of Shimaoka’s works by the artist's daughter\, Yoshiko Fudeya.\n\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_19684" align="alignright" width="257"] Kinyo\, Hara Kiyoshi (1936 -)[/caption]\nWhat Does "Living National Treasure" Mean?\n“Living National Treasure” is a Japanese term for those who have mastered their art or craft and therefore help to preserve Japanese cultural heritage. They are designated as a “Living National Treasure” by the Minister of Education\, Culture\, Sports\, Science and Technology (MEXT). This designation is a top honor in Japanese culture and seen as the pinnacle of one’s career.

SUMMARY:Healing Nature: Gardens and Art of Manzanar
DESCRIPTION:\nAnsel Adams\, Pool in Pleasure Park\, Manzanar\, 1943\, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith a selection of documentary work by three leading twentieth-century photographers - Ansel Adams\, Dorothea Lange\, and Toyo Miyatake - this exhibition will provide a visual exploration of the healing power of Japanese gardens and art in the lives of internees at Manzanar Relocation Camp during World War II. These elaborately designed gardens were created under the harshest of conditions to provide a life-affirming sense of peace\, while arts and crafts provided therapeutic support against devastating adversity. Works created by internees will be exhibited along with the photographs to bring the story of this important chapter of Japanese American history to life.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is honored to dedicate this exhibition to the late Irene Hirano Inouye\, the founding Executive Director of the Japanese American National Museum and former President of the U.S.-Japan Council.\n\n\n\nFind more information about this exhibition.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nVISIT VIRTUALLY: HEALING GARDENS ART EXHIBITION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor a slideshow of photos\, please see here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLanguage Matters: There is no universal agreement on what we call the camps or the process that created them -- ‘incarceration\,’ ‘internment\,’ and ‘concentration’ are a few of the terms that were interchangeably used. While some might find ‘concentration’ misleading because these were not extermination camps\, the term predates the Holocaust and is by definition a place where large numbers of people are detained or confined under armed guard. We believe that awareness of the historical import of these words\, as well as care in using them\, is an important way to respect the collective memory of the victims and grants us greater power to confront injustice and cultivate peace.\n\n\n\n"A concentration camp is a place where people are imprisoned\, not because of the crimes they committed\, but simply because of who they are. During World War II\, America’s concentration camps were clearly distinguishable from Nazi Germany’s. Despite the difference\, all had one thing in common: that people in power removed a minority group from the general population and the rest of society let it happen." - Joint Statement by Japanese-American National Museum and&nbsp\;the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors at the 1994 exhibition\, America's Concentration Camps: Remembering the Japanese American Experience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Programming\n\n\n\nIn connection with the exhibition\, Healing Nature: Gardens and Art of Manzanar\, Portland Japanese Garden offers three virtual panel discussions that explore the significance and impact of gardens. With a special focus on gardens created by Japanese American internees at Manzanar and other camps during World War II\, these discussions question and dive into why and how humanity seeks connection to nature through gardens\, particularly during a time of civil injustice.\n\n\n\nFriday\, 12/18: "Bridging the Past and Future - Nikkei Cultural Legacies in America and the Evolving Role of Japanese Cultural Institutions"\n\n\n\nWednesday\, 1/20: “A Garden of Humanity: From substance to the highest form of creativity”&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nWednesday\, 1/27: “Beautiful Resistance: A Garden as a Cultural Landscape at Manzanar”&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sponsors]\n\n\n\n\n

Ishizuka\, M.S.W.\, Ph.D. is a third-generation Japanese American specializing in Japanese American and Asian Pacific American history and culture and chief curator of the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) based in Los Angeles. Her book Serve the People: Making Asian America in the Sixties was on PEN America’s list of recommended books of protest. Lost and Found: Reclaiming the Japanese American Incarceration chronicles the making of the exhibit “America’s Concentration Camps: Remembering the Japanese American Experience\,” which she curated for JANM.

During World War II\, America’s concentration camps were clearly distinguishable from Nazi Germany’s. Despite the difference\, all had one thing in common: that people in power removed a minority group from the general population and the rest of society let it happen." - Joint Statement by Japanese-American National Museum and the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors at the 1994 exhibition\, America's Concentration Camps: Remembering the Japanese American Experience\n\n[sponsors]

SUMMARY:Ishimoto Yasuhiro: Architecture+Nature+Culture
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is hosting a photography exhibition featuring an architectural and garden treasure of Japan – Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto – by one of the country's most celebrated photographers\, Ishimoto Yasuhiro.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis year&nbsp\;marks&nbsp\;the centennial anniversary of the artist’s birth.&nbsp\;Ishimoto&nbsp\;was&nbsp\;born in San Francisco in 1921&nbsp\;and raised in Japan.&nbsp\;He&nbsp\;returned to the U.S. at the age of 17 to study agriculture at the University of California. His studies were&nbsp\;abruptly&nbsp\;interrupted with the&nbsp\;start&nbsp\;of World War II\, when Ishimoto was detained at an internment camp&nbsp\;in Colorado. There\, he picked up the camera that eventually led him to pursue a career in photography.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAfter the war\, Ishimoto enrolled in the Institute of Design\, Chicago&nbsp\;(New Bauhaus)\, where he studied photography with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. In 1953\,&nbsp\;he&nbsp\;traveled back&nbsp\;to Japan to photograph&nbsp\;what&nbsp\;would become the masterpiece of his artistic oeuvre&nbsp\;–&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;Katsura&nbsp\;Imperial Villa&nbsp\;series.&nbsp\;Through these images\,&nbsp\;Ishimoto&nbsp\;explored the intricate and interconnected relationships between architecture\, landscape\, and art in Japanese aesthetics and culture.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nIshimoto’s influence on modern architecture\, art\, and&nbsp\;culture&nbsp\;is far-reaching.&nbsp\;Here at&nbsp\;Portland Japanese Garden\,&nbsp\;Katsura Imperia Villa served as&nbsp\;architectural inspiration&nbsp\;for the Cultural Village\, which was completed in 2017.&nbsp\;The graceful balance between the existing environment&nbsp\;unique to&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;Pacific Northwest&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;formation of&nbsp\;new architecture is&nbsp\;considered&nbsp\;an&nbsp\;homage to&nbsp\;Japan's traditional philosophies around&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;interconnected&nbsp\;worlds of nature\, art\, and humanity.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\nIshimoto was designated a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese Government in recognition of his accomplishments and contributions to Japanese culture. His work and his life remain a living bridge between the cultures of America and Japan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Katsura Imperial Villa was originally built in the early 17th century on the bank of the Katsura River in Kyoto\, for Their Imperial Highnesses Toshihito&nbsp\;Shinno&nbsp\;and Toshitada&nbsp\;Shinno&nbsp\;of the&nbsp\;Hachijo-no-Miya family.&nbsp\;The design&nbsp\;of the&nbsp\;villa is&nbsp\;globally&nbsp\;considered&nbsp\;as&nbsp\;the apex of traditional&nbsp\;Japanese approach&nbsp\;on&nbsp\;the existence&nbsp\;of&nbsp\;space&nbsp\;and refined simplicity.&nbsp\;Today\, Katsura Imperial Villa is&nbsp\;a popular\, yet&nbsp\;tightly restricted tourist destination in Kyoto that allows a limited number of&nbsp\;annual&nbsp\;visitors&nbsp\;to&nbsp\;preserve the centuries-old&nbsp\;treasure.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nWithin the grounds is a 14.3acre traditional strolling pond style Japanese garden. The garden has been touched by a succession of landscape architects and designers\, tea masters\, and poets from the ruling samurai class. While many masters of craft influenced the space\, the common design principle always remained in place: to achieve an organic integration of architecture\, nature\, and culture that continuously offers a new perspective.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCourtesy of the Deborah and Robert Zagunis Collection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos:Ishimoto Yasuhiro\, Katsura Villa\, 1953–1982©Kochi Prefecture\, Ishimoto Yasuhiro Photo Center\n\n\n\nIshimoto Yasuhiro\, Self-portrait\, 1975©Kochi Prefecture\, Ishimoto Yasuhiro Photo Center\n\n\n\nView Virtually\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLanguage Matters\n\n\n\nThere is no universal agreement on what we call the camps or the process that created them — ‘incarceration\,’ ‘internment\,’ and ‘concentration’ are a few of the terms that were interchangeably used.

SUMMARY:Hina Matsuri\, Doll's Day Display
DESCRIPTION:\n\nHina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. This celebration is also known as Momo-no-Sekku\, or Peach Festival.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri is said to have originated in the Heian period (794-1185)\, a time when people believed that dolls had the power to drive away evil spirits. Paper or straw hina dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition called nagashi bina still takes place in some regions in Japan.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying hina dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of hina dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\, hina dolls are passed down from previous generations.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\nHina dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds the two imperial dolls. The Emperor doll holds a ritual baton and the Empress a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin bayashi) each holding a musical instrument except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin and sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces.\n\n\n\n\nHere at the Garden\, the&nbsp\;Hina&nbsp\;doll collection was donated by the&nbsp\;Dozono family and will be&nbsp\;displayed at the Cultural Corner. \n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden’s long-time volunteer\, Tsuru Tuenge says\, “Hina-Matsuri is one of my favorite volunteer activities at the Garden.” Tsuru would show visitors pictures of the incumbent Emperor and Empress of Japan’s coronation ceremony that took place in October 2018. Visitors enjoy the similarity between the costumes and accessories worn by the dolls and the present-day royals.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nSpecial ceremonial delicacies for Hina Matsuri include: shirozake (sake made from fermented rice)\, hina-arare (colorful\, sugar-coated rice crackers)\, hishi-mochi (diamond-shaped layers of colorful thin rice crackers)\, and chirashi sushi (pastel-toned\, scattered-style sushi) with clear clam broth. \n\n\n\n(Photo credit: Lynn Geis\, Jonathan Ley\, CORA/PIXTA)\n\n

SUMMARY:Picturing Modernism in Japanese Architecture
DESCRIPTION:\nJourney through time to explore the impact of a cultural and architectural crown jewel of Japan\, the Katsura Imperial Villa. Through photographs taken by Ishimoto Yasuhiro\, one of Japan’s most celebrated photographers\, Dr. Yasufumi Nakamori\, the Senior Curator of International Art (Photography)\, at Tate\, London and an authority on the late artist’s work\, studies the photographs as a means to gaining insight of the artist’s vision\, the villa’s influence on modern architecture\, and how both helped shape Japan’s journey of post-war modernization.\n\n\n\nThis is a virtual\, lecture-style webinar available exclusively to Portland Japanese Garden Members.\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar will be moderated by our own Aki Nakanishi\, Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art\, and Education.

SUMMARY:The Gates of Hope: Connecting Cultures
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is located in the Pavilion Gallery\, open from 9am-5pm.\n\n\nFrom April 24 through May 31\, Portland Japanese Garden is showing a documentary exhibition\, “The Gates of Hope: Connecting Cultures.” This retrospective exhibition commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami and the devastating nuclear disaster that followed in its wake.\n\n\n\nJourney through Portland Japanese Garden’s efforts in returning two lost artifacts -kasagi\, or beams of a sacred Shinto gate - that had been swept away by the tsunami. These kasagi traveled across the Pacific Ocean for nearly two years\, eventually washing ashore on the Oregon coast.\n\n\n\nReturning the kasagi to their hometown of Hachinohe\, Japan\, required two years of transpacific coordination\, community detective work\, and a few strokes of luck. This exhibition will bring the story to life through exposing the magic in the details – from the photos documenting each step of the journey to the heartfelt letters from city officials and students at the local school in Hachinohe – sharing the lesson of what connects us as humans: empathy\, perseverance\, and compassion.\n\n\n\nFind the full story and learn more about the exhibition here. \n\n\n\nA special thank you to our sponsor:\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:FISH-MAN: Tatsuki Masaru
DESCRIPTION:Due to repairs in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center\, the Tanabe Gallery\, where this exhibition is currently held\, is temporarily closed. Thank you for your understanding. \n\n\nJapanese photographer Tatsuki Masaru tells the story of the Tohoku people and their landscape that reflects ancient Japanese culture. Through his photography\, he captures the interconnectedness of the land and its inhabitants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"I first became interested in people who live by the sea while I was working on a photography project in northeast Japan a few years back. At the time I was visiting a small village located on a mountain ridge that straddles the ocean. Wandering down a footpath\, I discovered a small wooden boat that had been abandoned and since rotted through. From its deteriorated frame grew a tree lush with green leaves.\n\n\n\nThe mountains and the ocean are intertwined\, and its inhabitants — humans\, nature\, land animals\, and sea animals — all related.\n\n\n\nThis experience led me to Okuki\, another small village in northeast Japan. The houses of the village are aligned neatly on the mountain’s gently sloping ridge\, extending towards the ocean. Every house has a view of the ocean and the air carries its pleasant scent. The ocean’s commanding presence fills my body completely. The village fishermen leave port before dawn and are hard at work by the time the sunrises and warms their backs. Signaling the beginning of the day\, the sunrise is visible from any place in the village. The fishermen do not pride themselves in the biggest\, wildest catch of the day\, rather every time they return to port safely. They always do so with a proud smile. Any fish they do not sell they eat with their families and share with their neighbors. When the fishermen are not at work in the ocean\, they work on small plots of farmland. Each family in the village tends their own crops\, planting and storing according to the changing seasons. They cut down trees from nearby woods to fuel their fires\, cook freshly caught fish\, and warm their homes in the winter.\n\n\n\nThe fishermen are able to produce every necessity of life by working the land and sea with their own hands.\n\n\n\nThey hunt fish and eat them almost every day. They live near the ocean\, work in the ocean\, and function as a part of the ocean. I firmly believe that these are not just fishermen but “fish-men.” They coexist with sea life\, understanding the ocean as fish do and proceeds towards the ocean. The fish-man lives cradled in the ocean’s embrace.\n\n\n\nAs long as there are people in this village I believe the fish-man’s way of life will continue.\n\n\n\nI returned to Okuki Village several times to shoot more photographs\, and I learned that the gate leading to a Shinto shrine at the fishing harbor was damaged in 2011\, when the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami hit the coast. The top of the gate broke off and washed ashore on a beach in Oregon State two years later.\n\n\n\nWhen I joined the fishermen on their boats\, I often had a feeling that we could travel further and further\, infinitely and when I heard news of the gate\, I knew I had to go to America.\n\n\n\nThe gate arrived with shellfish stuck to its surface\, looking as though it had aged considerably on its journey\, but it retained its original red color. It was then stored for some time in a large garage. When I arrived in Oregon to see the gate\, I looked around the area where it washed ashore. By chance\, I met some local fishermen\, and they told me stories about their lives.\n\n\n\nThese men\, I learned\, approach the ocean and their work in the very same way as the men in Okuki. Their lifestyle does not change\, whether from Japan or America. As the sunset\, people sat about the beach. They watched the sky slowly darken and listened to the sounds of the ocean."\n\n\n\nThis land once seemed so distant but now feels so very close.\n\n\n\nMasaru TatsukiAfterword from the exhibition catalogue “FISH-MAN”(photographed from May\, 2014 - October 2015)\n\n\n\nBiography of Artist:\n\n\n\n\nMasaru Tatsuki (b.1974) is a Japanese photographer\, who lives and works in Tokyo. Since his first project ”DECOTORA” (2005) which documents a subculture of truck drivers\, Tatsuki has presented 6 project with 6 books. He is a recipient of 2012 Ihei Kimura Prize with “TOHOKU” (2011).\n\n\n\n\nFor this series\, Tatsuki spent 6 years to capture the Tohoku people and its landscape that reflect ancient Japanese culture. In “kuragari”(2013)\, Tatsuki photographs the deers at night with a hand carried flash light. He waits for a sign of life in fear of the darkness of the woods that was worshipped by our ancestors. Tatsuki recent project consists of the fragments of Jomon ceramics from 10\,000- 2\,500 years ago\, wrapped and stored in museums unseen to the public. In 2020\, the book “KAKERA”\, which translates fragment\, was released. Tatsuki’s search for folkloric myth and the reality of people’s life continues. Tatsuki’s solo exhibition include Azamino City Art Museum\, Gallery Side2\, Tokyo\, Hachinohe Potal Museum\, Hachinohe. Recent group exhibition include the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and Aichi Triennale 2016 in Nagoya.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is in conjunction with The Gates of Hope: Connecting Cultures documentary-style exhibition\, which also shares a story of the Tohoku people and their resilience following the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in March of 2011.\n

SUMMARY:Painting Paradise: Art of Daisuke Nakano
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nDaisuke Nakano is an avant-garde visual artist who uses the centuries-old&nbsp\;Nihonga-style painting technique to capture the elusiveness of light and vivacious spirit of wildlife through his screen paintings of imaginary botanical landscapes.&nbsp\;Nihonga&nbsp\;(日本画)\, a traditional style of Japanese painting\, is created using solely organic materials — such as pigments from vegetables\, minerals\, animals\, silk\, wood\, and gold.\n\n\n\n\n In his first-ever West Coast exhibition\, Nakano infuses traditional techniques with a unique use of color found in Western Naturalism styles to create a whimsical interplay of wildlife and lush\, paradisiacal landscapes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n"The overwhelming composition\, the exhaustive lines\, the faithful details and the living colors\, standing in front of Nakano's works\, I find my heart stirred by their dazzling beauty\, my chest becomes filled with joy and my body grows warm...The clusters of flowers on the wisteria become entangled in the peacock's feathers as they blow in the wind\, mysterious yet sacred perfume making us forget reality in the moment."&nbsp\;(Exhibition statement "If there is a Heaven" by Shoko Aono\, Director\,&nbsp\;Ippodo&nbsp\;Gallery\, New York)&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nLearning quickly from the world of Nihonga and often using gold or silver leaf as a base - a method developed by Ito&nbsp\;Jakuchu&nbsp\;(1716 - 1800)&nbsp\;or the&nbsp\;Rinpa&nbsp\;School - Nakano quickly started creating his own method of painting\, capturing light through his use of organic materials and elaborate details to bring two-dimensional imagery to life. Through depicting the power and ephemeral cycle of nature\, Nakano expresses the paradox of life.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nUsing the large traditional&nbsp\;byobu\, or folding-screen format for&nbsp\;a number of&nbsp\;key pieces in the exhibition\, Nakano explores the limitless orchestration of colors as well as forms\, and invites viewers to an immersive journey. His surreal paradise set against the backdrop of Portland Japanese Garden creates a unique\, Pacific Northwest experience not seen anywhere else in the world.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFor a behind-the-scenes look at Nakano's artistic process\, and a studio tour\, see here:\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HzbkzIbVFU\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit Virtually\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is organized in conjunction with the&nbsp\;internationally-acclaimed&nbsp\;Japanese art gallery\,&nbsp\;Ippodo&nbsp\;New York.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nHikariamaneku/Illuminates All Over the World\, 2019Hikarisazukaru/Radiance Blessed with Light\, 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA special thank you to our sponsor:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, the Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTanabata\, also called Star Festival\, is celebrated each year in Japan on July 7 (August 7 in some regions).&nbsp\;It is one of five seasonal festivals celebrated in Japan since the 8th century. This year\, there will be a colorful display along the Crumpacker Bamboo Allee for guests to enjoy.\n\n\n\n\nTanabata was inspired by an ancient Chinese folk legend of two stars—Hikoboshi\, the Cowherd Star (Altair) and his lover Princess Orihime\, the Weaver Star (Vega). Orihime and Hikoboshi were in love\, but banished by Orihime’s father the Sky King to opposite ends of the Milky Way for neglecting their work to spend time together. Moved by his daughter’s sorrow over this\, the Sky King allowed them to meet just once a year on the 7th night of the 7th month. On this night a flock of magpies use their wings to form a bridge so that the Orihime (Vega) can cross the Milky Way to be united with Hikoboshi (Altair). The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7 is a clear night\; if it rains\, they must wait another year. Because of this legend\, many Japanese people pray for a clear night on July 7.\n\n\n\nEach summer in Japan\, people prepare for the festival by writing their wishes on narrow strips of paper called tanzaku and hanging them with other origami paper ornaments on bamboo branches displayed at the entrance to their homes and public places. Everyone prays that the night sky will be fair and their wishes will be granted. In times past\, boys wished for better handwriting and girls wished for better sewing skills.\n

SUMMARY:Ikebana International Exhibition 2021
DESCRIPTION:\nIn this special\, two-day only exhibition\, Ikebana International (Portland Chapter 47) showcases arrangements representing five different schools of Ikebana.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers” and is unique from other approaches to flower arranging. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nIkebana and many Japanese arts share similar goals with Japanese gardens\, where the physical manifestations are the product of careful mastery of time-honored processes. With mastery of these processes comes the understanding and appreciation of the human endeavor.\n\n\n\nIkebana International is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of ikebana. Ikebana International does not teach any single type of ikebana. Rather\, it is an interest group made up of people of many nationalities who enjoy ikebana and other arts of Japan.\n\n\n\nParticipating Schools (alphabetical order):\n\n\n\nIchiyo (一葉式いけ花)Ikenobo (池坊)Ohara (小原流)Ryuseiha (龍生派)Saga Goryu (嵯峨御流)Sogetsu (草月)\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Luxurious Garden and the Gratification of Retreat
DESCRIPTION:\nThis is a webinar hosted by Asia Week New York. \n\n\n\nFor centuries\, people have looked to nature and gardens to provide emotional support\, a place to gather to mark important events in their lives\, or as an escape from the finite walls of their homes. In The Luxurious Garden and the Gratification of Retreat\, a distinguished panel of experts will discuss the origins of these luxurious spaces–designed in the Japanese and Chinese tradition–and their impact on visitors throughout the ages.\n\n\n\n“Who at one time or another hasn’t sought out a garden to provide something that enhances their lives?” asks Andrew Lueck\, Specialist\, Vice President\, Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art at Christie’s\, who will moderate the discussion. “Whether it’s a tranquil setting at a museum\, such as The Astor Court at The Met\; the rolling hills of the Huntington Gardens\; the waterfall at the Portland Japanese Garden\; a private residential refuge\; or in their absence\, an evocative Japanese woodblock print of a Zen garden\, outdoor settings have been providing us with areas of welcome refuge and retreat for centuries.”\n\n\n\n[button url="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ryptBMSLTveh1HQVAFqK8w"]RSVP HERE[/button]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\nPhillip E.

SUMMARY:Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Changing Tastes in Japanese Woodblock Prints
DESCRIPTION:\nSelection of Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection of Irwin Lavenberg\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Changing Tastes in Japanese Woodblock Prints"&nbsp\;illuminates the dramatic social\, political\, and economic shifts in Japanese culture between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries through a close look at two artists:&nbsp\;Toyohara&nbsp\;Kunichika (1835-1900) and Kawase&nbsp\;Hasui&nbsp\;(1883-1957).&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCommercially produced woodblock&nbsp\;ukiyo-e\, "pictures of the floating world\,"&nbsp\;were immensely popular during the Edo period (1615-1868) through the first half of the Meiji period (1868-1912). In Kunichika’s prints\, we see a celebration of vivid Japanese storytelling. He is one of the last great&nbsp\;      ukiyo-e&nbsp\;masters and his career spanned the heyday of&nbsp\;ukiyo-e until its demise towards the end of the 19th century.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAs Japanese demand for traditional woodblock prints declined\, the innovative print publisher\, Watanabe&nbsp\;Shōzaburō&nbsp\;(1885-1962)\, sought to bring it back to life. Starting in 1906\, as a publisher of woodblock reproductions\, Watanabe took&nbsp\;ukiyo-e's&nbsp\;business model to create a new type of woodblock print\, aptly called&nbsp\;shin&nbsp\;hanga\, or “new prints.”&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nA glimpse of Japanese woodblock prints from two masters of the form\, Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900) and Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) on display in the Pavilion Gallery.

Photo by Heather Hawksford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShin&nbsp\;hanga&nbsp\;portrayed traditional subject matter in a contemporary manner\, its artists steeped in traditional Japanese and Western artistic styles. Of these artists\, the most successful and prolific was Kawase&nbsp\;Hasui\, who specialized in landscape views.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nHasui&nbsp\;masterfully designed evocative images of a classical\, scenic Japan while deftly incorporating Western-inspired shading and perspective to appeal to a wider audience. His contemporary landscapes focused on quiet scenes capturing the seasons with the occasional solitary figure in harmony with the natural world.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAs you wander among these prints\, consider how&nbsp\;ukiyo-e&nbsp\; and&nbsp\;shin&nbsp\;hanga&nbsp\;influenced the Western world’s growing interest in Japanese style and desire to create something akin – in art\, in fashion\, in design\, and even in establishing Japanese gardens outside of Japan.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFor the full exhibition overview\, please see here. \n\n\n\nTo learn more about Toyohara&nbsp\;Kunichika  and Kawase&nbsp\;Hasui\, please see here.\n\n\n\nCourtesy of the Irwin Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints\n\n\n\nExhibition Consultant: Lynn Katsumoto\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor a behind-the-scenes tour\, please see here:\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qTyFcoHhyk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit Virtually:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Fashion and Fantasy: The Art of Netsuke Carvings
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nOnce&nbsp\;immensely&nbsp\;popular across Japan\, netsuke (pronounced nets-keh)\, small accessories fashioned from wood\, ivory\, or porcelain\, blurred the lines between function and art in their heyday.&nbsp\;Fashion and Fantasy&nbsp\;will showcase the fascinating world of these miniature Japanese carvings traditionally used to secure small pouches to men’s pocketless kimonos.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJapanese ivory netsuke of a rabbit with a bunch of loquats. Signed in rectangular reserve "Okatomo". 18th century. Photo by Heather Hawksford\n\n\n\nThe first netsuke were made of small\, dried gourds\, slender pieces of wood or bamboo sticks. These rudimentary toggles developed into exquisite artistic carvings with the help of a subversive and fashionable mercantile class. During the Edo period (1603–1868)\, numerous edicts prevented the lower classes—farmers\, craftsmen and merchants—from displaying opulence\, while the upper warrior class enjoyed access to more refined and lavish clothes\, houses and jewelry.\n\n\n\nScenes from "Fashion and Fantasy: The Art of Netsuke Carvings." Photos by Nina Johnson.Scenes from "Fashion and Fantasy: The Art of Netsuke Carvings." Photos by Nina Johnson.Scenes from "Fashion and Fantasy: The Art of Netsuke Carvings." Photos by Nina Johnson.Scenes from "Fashion and Fantasy: The Art of Netsuke Carvings." Photos by Nina Johnson.Scenes from "Fashion and Fantasy: The Art of Netsuke Carvings." Photos by Nina Johnson.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNetsuke\, however\, were technically functional objects and were thus allowed to be worn by the increasingly wealthy mercantile class. Netsuke developed into increasingly intricate\, masterfully carved figures that displayed a delightful diversity of materials\, styles and themes. Small and inconspicuous\, netsuke encapsulated the aesthetic sense of iki\, the fashionable\, subdued elegance of the urban chic of Edo-period Japan.\n\n\n\n\n“It seemed fitting to give the netsuke collection to the Garden as they do such a good job of showcasing Japanese culture. I have seen a sundial in another garden that was inscribed with the phrase\, ‘Time began in a garden.’ Surely\, that is true.”\nJames R. Coonan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrawing on a&nbsp\;recent&nbsp\;gift&nbsp\;from The Netsuke Collection of James R. Coonan\, Denise C. Bates and Lurline C. Menzies\, this exhibition explores the breathtaking stories\, artistic expression and imagination that netsuke capture. Each&nbsp\;netsuke&nbsp\;is highly detailed\, imaginatively depicting people and animals from everyday life as well as folktales and fables.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;As you stroll across the manicured landscapes of Portland Japanese Garden\, discover the whimsical world of these miniature fashion statements.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nExhibition Guest Director: Imme Hüttmann \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit Virtually:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership for their funding support of this exhibition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Special Display: Hina Matsuri\, Doll's Day
DESCRIPTION:\nDoll's Day in 2018. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nOut of an abundance of caution for the well-being of our visitors and staff\, Portland Japanese Garden will forgo a public event of Hina Matsuri in light of recent COVID-19 developments. Instead\, the Garden will celebrate this holiday by showcasing a collection of hina dolls in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center from February 23 through March 7.\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is celebrated in March of every year in Japan to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. This celebration is also known as&nbsp\;Momo-no-Sekku\, or Peach Festival.&nbsp\;Hina Matsuri is said to have originated in the Heian period (794-1185)\, a time when people believed that dolls had the power to drive away evil spirits. Paper or straw&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition called&nbsp\;nagashi bina&nbsp\;still takes place in some regions in Japan.\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\,&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls are passed down from previous generations.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nDisplay of hina dolls. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nHina&nbsp\;dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds the two imperial dolls. The Emperor doll holds a ritual baton and the Empress a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin bayashi) each holding a musical instrument except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Digital Fireside: Art of Vitality - The Peter Shinbach Art Collection
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nBamboo represents a millennia-old cultural symbol for vitality\, suppleness\, and strength – bending\, not breaking under adversity. Like many other traditional crafts\, bamboo basketry\, once woven into the cultural fabric of everyday life has dwindled amid rapid modernization. Bamboo artistry in Japan is no exception to this trend\, and yet mirroring the resilience of bamboo itself\, contemporary craftsmen have transformed this art form by redefining the entire ecosystem in which works are produced\, traded\, and revered.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn association with our current show\,&nbsp\;Art of Vitality: Peter Shinbach Bamboo Art Collection&nbsp\;in the Tanabe Gallery\,&nbsp\;Portland Japanese Garden is honored to host an intimate conversation between Margo Thoma\, director of TAI Modern and an expert known for expanding our contemporary understanding of Japanese bamboo art\, and Peter Shinbach\, a local collector with exquisite taste for master craftsmanship in bamboo. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nThis 60-minute webinar will offer professional as well as personal insights into the evolving dynamics of the art form while taking viewers on an immersive journey across the techniques and minds of bamboo masters. We hope you will join us on April 12\, from 4:30-5:30 PM Pacific Time.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers \n\n\n\n\nPETER SHINBACH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter’s interest in Japanese art and culture goes back to his high school days when he was given the choice of studying either Asian or Russian history.&nbsp\; He wisely chose the former.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPeter became interested in Japanese bamboo art about twenty years ago and began collecting baskets about fifteen years ago.&nbsp\; His collection represents works created from the late 19th century up to the present\; from baskets created primarily for the flower arrangements used in tea ceremonies\, to contemporary sculptural pieces that illustrate the Japanese tradition of transforming ideas from other cultures into uniquely Japanese expressions. His collection includes several works created by 20th and 21st century Living National Treasures.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAs a member of the Portland Japanese Garden\, Peter volunteers his time giving Garden tours.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMARGO THOMA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMargo Thoma was born in Illinois in 1980. She moved to Santa Fe in 2006 after graduating from Stanford with a BA in Art History. She co-founded the contemporary art gallery Eight Modern in 2007. In 2014\, Thoma purchased TAI Gallery\, merging it with her existing gallery\, to create TAI Modern. She and TAI’s team have continued gallery founder Rob Coffland’s mission of encouraging and advocating for Japanese bamboo art worldwide.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThoma has supported the Oita prefectural government’s efforts in promoting bamboo art to the West by serving as an advisor\, facilitating public demos\, and curating public bamboo art exhibitions. She is an active collaborator with and ally for senior artists across Japan\, while simultaneously championing emerging bamboo artists by sponsoring submission fees and travel expenses. She has written essays for exhibition catalogs both in the U.S. and in Japan and spoken publicly on bamboo art.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;Works by TAI Modern artists have been placed in some of the country’s most prestigious institutions\, including the Art Institute of Chicago\; the Metropolitan Museum of Art\; and the Asian Art Museum\, San Francisco.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Gifts from Japan: A Horticultural Tale Told through Botanical Art
DESCRIPTION:\nSelection of Botanical Illustrations from The Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens\, the Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California\, and Guest Botanical Artists from Japan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"British plant hunter\, Robert Fortune (1812-1880) visited Japan in 1860 and described\; ‘One marked feature of the people\, both high and low\, is a love for flowers. Almost every house which has any pretension to respectability has a flower garden in the rear\, oftentimes indeed small\, but neatly arranged\; this adds greatly to the comfort and happiness of the family.’ The upper classes had large gardens\, while the lower classes kept plants in containers in front of their houses. Regular flower markets were held in temples and shrines to sell container plants and they were popular among the commoners." \n\n\n\n - "Yedo and Perking: A Narrative of a Journey to the Capitals of Japan and China" (Cambridge Library Collection - Travel and Exploration in Asia 1863)\n\n\n\nGifts from Japan&nbsp\;illuminates the unique origin stories of many flowers that are now&nbsp\;widely&nbsp\;presumed native to the United States. Featuring a collection of richly captured botanical illustrations from the Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Garden (CA)\,&nbsp\;these artworks&nbsp\;present a window into&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;Japanese American&nbsp\;experience as immigrant families cultivated gardens and helped naturalize such well-known flowers as orchids\, camellias\,&nbsp\;and irises.\n\n\n\nThe exhibition invites visitors into an immersive journey of changing cultures and horticultural technologies through art at the turn of the century.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTour the Exhibition Online\n\n\n\nPavilion Gallery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanabe Gallery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-organized by The Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens and Portland Japanese Garden.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto Harp
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_10908" align="alignnone" width="376"] Photo by Aaron Lee[/caption]\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathr Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nAbout the Koto Harp\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute & Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto by Nina Johnson\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and piano by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, the Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nTanabata decorations outside the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo by Tyler Quinn.\n\n\n\nTanabata\, also called Star Festival\, is celebrated each year in Japan on July 7 (August 7 in some regions).&nbsp\;It is one of five seasonal festivals celebrated in Japan since the 8th&nbsp\;century. Tanabata was inspired by an ancient Chinese folk legend of two stars—Hikoboshi\, the Cowherd Star (Altair) and his lover Princess&nbsp\;Orihime\, the Weaver Star (Vega).&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nOrihime&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Hikoboshi&nbsp\;were in love\, but banished by&nbsp\;Orihime’s father the Sky King to opposite ends of the Milky Way for neglecting their work to spend time together. Moved by his daughter’s sorrow over this\, the Sky King allowed them to meet just once a year on the 7th&nbsp\;night of the 7th&nbsp\;month. On this night a flock of magpies use their wings to form a bridge so that the&nbsp\;Orihime&nbsp\;(Vega) can cross the Milky Way to be united with&nbsp\;Hikoboshi&nbsp\;(Altair). The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7 is a clear night\; if it rains\, they must wait another year. Because of this legend\, many Japanese people pray for a clear night on July 7.\n\n\n\nEach summer in Japan\, people prepare for the festival by writing their wishes on narrow strips of paper called&nbsp\;tanzaku&nbsp\;and hanging them with other&nbsp\;origami&nbsp\;paper ornaments on bamboo branches displayed at the entrance to their homes and public places. Everyone prays that the night sky will be fair and their wishes will be granted. In times past\, boys wished for better handwriting and girls wished for better sewing skills.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tanabata / The Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:\n\nStar Festival features a colorful display of&nbsp\;tanzaku\, or wish strips\, hanging from bamboo. This tradition of writing wishes or prayers comes from the Edo period\, when children were encouraged to practice their writing and hang them from bamboo for all to see. Tanabata is one of five seasonal festivals celebrated in Japan since the 8th century.\n\n\n\n\nTanabata was inspired by an ancient Chinese folk legend of two stars: Orihime\, the Weaver Star (Vega)\, and Hikoboshi\, the Cowherder Star (Altair). Orihime and Hikoboshi were in love but were banished by Orihime’s father the Sky King to opposite ends of the Milky Way for neglecting their work to spend time together.

The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7 is a clear night\; if it rains\, they must wait another year. Because of this legend\, many Japanese people pray for a clear night on July 7.\n\n\n\n10:30am - 2:30pm PDT: Wish writing in the Yanai Classroom. \n\n\n\n11:00am &amp\; 12:30pm PDT: Musical performances by Takohachi Q Ensemble (taiko drums\, shinobue flute) featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story in the Pavilion’s East Veranda. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Intimate Landscapes: Masterpieces from the Anderson Collection
DESCRIPTION:\nKatō Takuo\n\n\n\nIntimate Landscapes: Masterpieces from the Anderson Collection features a selection of exquisitely crafted ceramic art by Living National Treasures and other luminous masters from the renowned collection of Dr. Richard Anderson\, a longtime member and volunteer at Portland Japanese Garden. These expertly crafted artworks connect the ancient art of pottery with a reverence for nature (More on Anderson and his collection here).\n\n\n\nThe Living National Treasure designation is an honor bestowed on individuals who have mastered their craft or art form and therefore help to preserve Japanese cultural heritage. Established in 1955\, this designation is the highest honor in Japanese culture and is seen as the pinnacle of one’s career.\n\n\n\nImaizumi Imaemon XIII\n\n\n\nThe objects in this exhibition include predominantly guinomi (sake cups) and tokkuri (sake flasks)\, a reflection of Dr. Anderson’s appreciation for this communal practice of sharing a drink in Japanese culture. Values of community and mutual respect are inherent in this cultural tradition and resonate with Portland Japanese Garden’s mission of inspiring harmony and peace.\n\n\n\nExhibited within the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery\, these works evoke the natural wonders of Portland Japanese Garden through the botanical and landscape motifs woven throughout these masterful artworks.\n\n\n\nSee more about each art piece here.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is made possible through the personal collection and courtesy of Portland Japanese Garden volunteer\, Dr. Richard Anderson.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Alliance Working in America (TAWA PDX 2022)
DESCRIPTION:\nForum for Reimagining the Oregon-Japan Alliance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden and Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA have partnered to bring the program\, The Alliance Working in America: Forum for Reimagining the Oregon-Japan Alliance to Portland\, Oregon. This conference - TAWA PDX 2022 - explores the building blocks of the bilateral alliance through the lens of creative enterprise\, climate\, and sustainability industries. TAWA PDX 2022 convenes experts from the fields of government\, business\, education\, international affairs\, and sustainability for a series of two panel discussions: \n\n\n\nSession 1: Agricultural Innovation and Trade in the Age of Climate Disruption Session 2: Weaving the Common Threads: New Creative Dynamics in U.S.–Japan Partnership\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Program Details\n\n\n\n(for speaker bios\, see here)\n\n\n\nPlenary Remarks (40 mins)\n\n\n\nWelcome Address:&nbsp\;Steve Bloom\, CEO of Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nRemarks: \n\n\n\nDr. Satohiro Akimoto\, Chairman and President\, Sasakawa Peace Foundation USAGovernor Kate Brown\, State of OregonConsul-General Masaki Shiga\, Consular Office of Japan in Portland\n\n\n\nKeynote Address: \n\n\n\nKatherine Monahan\, Director\, Office of Japanese Affairs\, U.S. Department of State\n\n\n\nSession 1 "Agricultural Innovation and Trade in the Age of Climate Disruption" (60 mins)\n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nRon Pernick\, CEO\, Clean EdgeDarren Padget\, Chairman\, U.S. Wheat Associates\n\n\n\nModerator: Marianna Grossman\, Founder and Managing Partner\, Minerva Ventures\n\n\n\nThe consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly volatile as every region contends with severe impacts\, including extreme heat\, extended drought\, flooding\, and wildfires. For centuries society operated in a world of relative climate stability\, but global climate disruption presents entirely new risks and challenges – calling on society to make seismic changes in just about everything that it does.&nbsp\;Agricultural and commercial businesses\, governments\, and individuals are being challenged to transform themselves and accelerate the transition to solutions that can mitigate emissions and increase resilience.\n\n\n\nA convergence of technologies\, including renewable energy and materials\, electrified transportation\, energy storage\, circularity\, big data/AI\, and regenerative agriculture\, is creating new platforms for adaptation and innovation. Against this backdrop\, the U.S. and Japan have an opportunity to collaborate and put forward innovative strategies that put climate considerations front-and-center in their decision-making processes\, including capital allocation\, development of products or services\, risk management\, and supply-chain management. This session will examine emerging technologies\, operating models\, and processes to mitigate and cope with climate change with a special focus on risks and opportunities for food and agriculture&nbsp\;innovation in the U.S. and Japan.\n\n\n\nSession 2 "Weaving the Common Threads: New Creative Dynamics in U.S. - Japan Partnership" (60 mins)\n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nJohn C. Jay\, President and Executive Creative Director of GX\, President of Global Creative\, UNIQLO Takeshi Ted Homma\, Founder &amp\; CEO\, Homma Group Inc.Nobutaka Ide\, President &amp\; CEO\, WACOM Inc.\n\n\n\nModerator: Zeljka Carol Kekez\, Founder and Principal\, PLACE\n\n\n\nPortland knows prosperity is not achieved simply through mass-production and mass-marketing with matching consumption. As home to some of the world's most mission-driven creative enterprises\, the city stands at the forefront of green and creative branding grounded in cultural diversity and environmental conservation. New technologies such as 3-D printing and other high-tech manufacturing are rapidly changing conventional creative dynamics while compelling brands to reassess their competitive edge across all types of international partnerships. Through their trans-pacific partnerships\, what innovative impact do businesses in Oregon and Japan provide to communities of the Pacific Northwest and beyond?\n\n\n\nThis session presents first-hand case studies of some of the most iconic enterprises from both Oregon and Japan that are reinventing their creative creed through international collaborations.\n\n\n\nSPEAKER DETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is brought to you by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA &amp\; Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Gardens as Global Living Museums
DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto Credit: Jeff Eden \n\n\n\nKew as a Global Living Museum: Gardens as a Metaphor for Change\, Creativity\, and Community-Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow are botanical gardens relevant in our fast-paced and everchanging world? Join us at Portland Art Museum’s Whitsell Auditorium for a conversation between Richard Deverell\, Director of Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (U.K.)\, and Steve Bloom\, CEO of Portland Japanese Garden\, as they discuss the intersection between nature\, science\, art\, and culture. Tickets are on sale now!\n\n\n\n\nRichard Deverell is a leader reimagining the role of gardens in the 21st century. During his 10-year tenure as Director at Kew\, he has committed to improving education and public engagement with the Royal Botanic Gardens.\n\n\n\n\nDeverell’s talk will include how Kew incorporates innovative design projects and contemporary art to enrich visitors’ experience – an endeavor Portland Japanese Garden is also tackling. Kew is not only participating in scientific research projects\, but also striving to make scientific research more accessible to the public. Using contemporary art as well as compelling stories\, Kew is finding ways to authentically engage a wider audience in nature\, climate change\, and conservation. Deverell will discuss how institutions with imperialistic foundations can re-contextualize their history to provide learning experiences that reckon with the past\, so the future can be more inclusive of diverse audiences and narratives.\n\n\n\nCome learn more about gardens as “living museums” - places that stimulate curiosity and encourage engagement in nature. Seating is limited\, so register early to reserve your spot.\n\n\n\nThis program is co-hosted by Portland Japanese Garden and Portland Art Museum. By courtesy of Portland Art Museum\, guests of this lecture are invited to visit the Museum's exhibitions before or after the lecture.\n\n\n\nPhoto Credit: Jim Holden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis lecture is brought to you by Portland Art Museum &amp\; Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:O-Bon / The Spirit Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nO-Bon is a Japanese Buddhist festival that honors the spirits of our ancestors and the deceased. Join us during the magical hours of dusk in the Garden as we pay tribute to the memory of loved ones by lighting incense and watching candles float in the Upper Pond near the Moon Bridge. The evening will include koto performances\, chanting of the Lotus Sutra by Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi\, and reading names of the recently departed.\n\n\n\nOBon festival at Portland Japanese Garden\, 2019. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nIn traditional beliefs\, the spirits of the ancestors come back to their homes to be reunited with their family during O-Bon from August 13-15. In Japan\, candles\, lanterns\, and other fires are lit to guide the spirits back to the heavens. Tōrō-nagashi\, a ceremony of floating lanterns\, is celebrated in many regions on the last night of O-bon. Floating paper lanterns are lit with candles and released into a river or the sea to guide the ancestral spirits back to the spirit world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThroughout Japan\, Buddhist services are held at temples and homes during O-Bon to pray for one’s ancestors\, particularly those who have died within the past year. This serves as a reminder of the importance of family ties\, as a gesture of respect for those who have gone before\, and as an acknowledgment of the brevity and preciousness of life as a family.\n\n\n\nO-Bon is a special gathering for Portland Japanese Garden members only and reservations are required.\n\n\n\nDue to the limited amount of tickets for this event\, we will host a live stream on our Instagram on Saturday\, August 13th. Make sure you are following us to receive a notification when we go live. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Caleb Hendrickson\, Saga Goryu School. The demonstration will take place at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner\, located in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nCaleb grew up gardening with their parents\, Grandma Gardner\, homeschool friends\, and visionary clients. Today\, Caleb gardens at Portland Japanese Garden and studies with Saga Goryu Ikebana North America Chapter. \n\nCaleb practices gardening with the curators at PJG (Sadafumi Uchiyama and Hugo Torii) since 2016\, and started studying in the Saga Goryu school of ikebana\, with instruction from David Komeiji\, 4-and-a-half years ago. \n\nCaleb says:\n“Nature is sharing messages with us every day\, even when we are too busy to listen. Gardens bring nature’s message closer and clearer to our perception. Ikebana reflects our experience and familiarity of being in harmony in the world around us. My mentors have shared with me that we need to slow down. We need to find inner peace/our center. We need to reflect nature’s cooperation\, aspirations\, and conflict resolution to those around us. It matters most when the message comes from our heart. Origami\, gardening\, ikebana — these Japanese cultural art forms teach us how to recognize our heart and harmony in the world. View it\, frame it and internalize it\, reflect it."\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ties Over Time: Royal Relations Between Japan and Britain
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nThe Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden is hosting an in-person lecture from Jason James\, Director General of the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation in London\, England. One of the United Kingdom’s foremost experts of Japanese culture and its unique relationship with the West\, James will offer an intriguing insight into the socioeconomic evolution of Japan through a comparative examination of the royal families of both Japan and the U.K. James will also share the unique cultural relationships that have evolved over time between two of the most famous royal families in the world.\n\n\n\nTime and Details:\n\n\n\nThis lecture is in-person.\n\n\n\nWednesday\, Sep 7\, 2022\n\n\n\n2:30 pm (PDT) (Registration begins at 2:00 pm) Click here to purchase tickets.5:00 pm (PDT) (Registration begins at 4:30 pm) Canceled\n\n\n\nLocation: Portland Japanese Garden’s Yanai Classroom in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. \n\n\n\nTicket prices (Garden admission is included in ticket price):\n\n\n\n$25 General Public$20 Members of Portland Japanese Garden$12.50 Students under 25 with valid ID\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture: Ties Over Time: Royal Relations Between Japan and Britain\n\n\n\nThis lecture will answer questions such as:\n\n\n\nHow does the Japanese Imperial Family compare with the British Royal Family?How did Japan navigate Westernization after the conclusion of more than two centuries of isolation in 1850?What role did the Emperor and the Imperial Family play in shaping the way of life in Japan?\n\n\n\nJames will also explore the lesser-known history behind the large-scale export of Japanese antiquities to the U.S. and U.K. and how the 1868 restoration of Emperor Meiji as Japan’s Head of State adopted many aspects of the British model\, leading to a greater friendship between the two nations and molding the foundation of American and Japanese friendship today.\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\, Jason James \n\n\n\n\nHaving been fascinated by Japan on a choir tour at the age of 13\, Jason James chose to enroll in Japanese studies at King’s College\, Cambridge\, where he was a double scholar (academic and choral)\, graduating First Class with Distinction in 1987.

SUMMARY:O-Tsukimi\, the Moonviewing Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nWeather Notice: As you may have heard\, Portland is anticipated to have high\, gusty winds this weekend with Public Safety Power Shutoffs in some areas. We wanted to confirm that the festival for both Saturday (9/10) and Sunday (9/11) will proceed as planned\, with safety precautions. We will update the website with the latest information. \n\n\n\nMoonviewing\, or O-Tsukimi in Japanese\, is the custom of gazing at the full moon and enjoying its sacred beauty. Portland Japanese Garden schedules this beloved annual tradition to coincide with the harvest moon\, which occurs anytime from September to early October.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStart the evening with an intimate and peaceful stroll through the lantern-lit Garden. Take in authentic Japanese music. Catch up with friends\, old and new. Enjoy a cup of tea as you watch the harvest moon rise above the city. There is no better place in Portland to share the romance and mystery of the full moon than from the eastern overlook of the Portland Japanese Garden Pavilion.\n\n\n\nDue to the varying times of the moonrise\, please note that the event start time is as follows: \n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 10th: 7:00-9:00pm (moonrise is at 8:06pm)Sunday\, September 11th: 7:30-9:30pm (moonrise at 8:26pm)\n\n\n\nIn celebration of Moonviewing\, the raked gravel in the Flat Garden is designed in a special\,&nbsp\;once-a-year checkerboard raking pattern\; the alternating squares of white river gravel cast shadows in the moonlight. Experience the Flat Garden during Moonviewing through this&nbsp\;video.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY7GofUhcsE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details:\n\n\n\nTickets benefit Portland Japanese Garden cultural programming.There will be traditional Japanese musical performances throughout the event.

SUMMARY:Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show 2022
DESCRIPTION:\nCelebrating the Chrysanthemum Festival (Kiku Matsuri)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIkebana International (Portland Chapter 47) celebrates the chrysanthemum in this special two-day only exhibition. Ikebana International Chrysanthemum show was first celebrated Kiku Matsuri at Portland Japanese Garden in 1983. Local ikebana artists from various schools\, or styles\, will create arrangements featuring chrysanthemums\, known as kiku in Japanese.\n\n\n\nKiku Matsuri\, or Choyo no Sekku\, observed in Japan on September 9\, is the final of the five seasonal Go-Sekku  festivals in Japan’s traditional lunar calendar.&nbsp\;Chrysanthemums symbolize longevity\, dignity\, and nobility. A 16-petaled chrysanthemum even appears on the imperial family crest. Since being introduced from China in the 8th century\, the flower has been cultivated in Japan. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nIkebana and many other Japanese arts share similar goals with Japanese garden design\, where the physical manifestations are the product of careful mastery of time-honored processes. With mastery of these processes comes the understanding and appreciation of the human endeavor.\n\n\n\nIkebana International is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of ikebana. Ikebana International does not teach any single type of ikebana. Rather\, it is an interest group made up of people of many nationalities who enjoy ikebana and other arts of Japan.\n\n\n\nParticipating Schools (alphabetical order):\n\n\n\nIchiyo (一葉式)Ikenobo (池坊)Ohara (小原流)Ryuseiha (龍生派)Saga Goryu (嵯峨御流)Sogetsu (草月)\n\n\n\n\n

These symposia are our signature program coming out of Japan Institute and is part of our Peace Programs series – special events and experiences created to inspire conversations about peace through the lens of cultural diplomacy. Ultimately\, the Japan Institute will hold six Peace Symposia on six continents over the course of three years – the first fittingly being in Tokyo\, Japan. Our time in Tokyo will be preceded by a presentation of replicas of our beloved Peace Lantern as symbolic gifts to Hiroshima\, Nagasaki\, and Tokyo. The second Peace Symposium will be in London\, UK\, at the historic Guildhall on December 6th.\n\n\n\nAmong those speaking are Her Imperial Highness\, Princess Tsuguko\, who will give the congratulatory address. Taro Kono\, Minister of Digital Agency of Japan has graciously agreed to give a keynote speech. Furthermore\, James Kondo\, Chairman of the International House of Japan will be giving remarks. We couldn’t ask for a more honorable presence to kick off our international programming this year.\n\n\n\nThe Peace Symposia will also feature the work of gifted young poets. In partnership with Young Poets Network\, writers 25 and under are invited to submit poems that explore the concept of peace. The first round of the competition is open from July 12 through September 12\, 2022. Selected poets in this initial stage will have the opportunity to recite their poem in Tokyo and be published in an anthology at the conclusion of all six Peace Symposia.

SUMMARY:Kenji Ide: A Poem of Perception
DESCRIPTION:\nIn Kenji Ide’s installation\, A Poem of Perception\, the Kanagawa-based artist has created a constellation of found objects and small-scale sculptures that encourage viewers to heighten their sensitivity to their own experience of time\, place\, and imagination. Created specifically for the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery\, Ide’s art engages in a spiritual dialogue with the context of its surroundings. His work mirrors a Japanese garden’s elemental foundation of natural materials shaped by human hands and reflects its aesthetic ideals\, expressed through the careful arrangement of objects and empty space. This deep consideration of space echoes Garden of Resonance: The Art of Jun Kaneko\, an art exhibition simultaneously on display at Portland Japanese Garden.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIde’s sculptures of carved wood\, paper\, and concrete\, combined with found postcards and ephemera such as stones and fallen foliage\, can be thought of as a kind of material poetry—each element’s form creates the shape of the poem\, their placement in space creating its rhythm. For this exhibition\, Ide has labored to remove the focus of his work on sculptures as individual entities\, instead reconceptualizing each piece within a holistic installation.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIde is interested in the passage of time\, both for the weight it carries in our everyday lives\, but also for its connection to the experience of a Japanese garden.&nbsp\;Drawing inspiration from his belief in the beauty of everyday life—the materials in Ide’s work are familiar and commonplace\, creating an accessible visual language that is quietly powerful in its emotional familiarity. For example\, Ide views the postcards incorporated into his installation as antiquated sculptures of communication. Unlike today’s digital messages\, postcards have their own unique shape\, weight\, and color. They possess a physicality that people can project their own emotions or experiences onto. As physical objects that must travel through time and space to reach their recipients\, postcards foster contemplative dialogue across distances.\n\n\n\nPhoto by Kenji Ide.\n\n\n\nIn Ide’s work\, and in a Japanese garden\, things are best experienced when one takes their time to open their hearts and minds to be moved by the smallest details.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCurator: Matt Jay (1987-2022)\n\n\n\nMatt Jay at the Golden Crane reception for the opening of Garden of Resonance: The Art of Jun Kaneko. Photo by Nina Johnson.\n\n\n\nMatt Jay was the Founder and Director of End of Summer\, a cross-cultural art program dedicated to exploring and supporting contemporary art from Japan. End of Summer regularly organizes satellite exhibitions and symposiums in the&nbsp\;U.S. and Japan with its programming centering around an annual artist residency and lecture series in Portland\, Oregon. Additionally\, Jay was the co-founder of THAT YEAR\, an interdisciplinary creative studio\, which forges connections between Asia and the U.S. through art and design.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Sogetsu Portland Fall Show: Radiance of Autumn
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School of Ikebana believes ikebana can be practiced anytime\, anywhere\, by anyone. Local artists from Sogetsu Portland Branch will create a wide range of styles from basic to abstract which use objects of sculptural intent and character. The three main elements designers use are line\, mass\, and color\, with an emphasis on the designer’s individual artistic expression and creativity. Visit the Garden to see how their arrangements both suit and enhance the Yanai classroom.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can arrange ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Gardens for a 20th-Century Japan: Sutemi Horiguchi\; Mirei Shigemori
DESCRIPTION:\nLecture &amp\; Book Signing by Marc Treib\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: There will be a book sale from 1:00 -1:30 PM and 3:00 - 4:00 PM (before and after the lecture) outside the Yanai Classroom. There will be a book signing from 3:00 - 4:30 PM. Members receive a 10% discount on their purchase. The lecture will take place from 1:30 - 3:00 PM. \n\n\n\n\nMarc Treib\, a prolific critic\, author\, and historian of architecture and landscape architecture explores what influenced 20th-century garden designs in Japan in reference to his most recent book\, “Thinking a Modern Landscape Architecture\, West &amp\; East: Christopher Tunnard\, Sutemi Horiguchi.”\n\n\n\n\nHoriguchi (1895-1984) was an architect and historian of Japanese architecture who taught at Kanagawa and Meiji universities. He was one of the first Japanese architects to explore western modernist architecture&nbsp\; and one of six founding members of Japan’s first organization of modernist architects - the Bunriha Architectural Society\, which\, like the Vienna Secession\, sought to break from the established architectural practices of the time. Horiguchi was a noted critic of the meaningless use of ornament or traditional forms in contemporary architecture\, likening it to moss and duckweed floating on stagnant water. Yet he still retained a deep respect for Japan’s architectural heritage\, embodying modernist principles without trivializing the past.\n\n\n\nWhile Horiguchi looked to eighteenth-century Rimpa painting as a source for making a modern garden\, Mirei Shigemori (1896–1975) sought other\, more contemporary sources for his design ideas. Trained as a painter at the Tokyo University of the Arts and long involved with invigorating the practice of ikebana\, Shigemori applied ideas drawn from modern art to garden making.\n\n\n\nBoth Horiguchi and Shigemori used history and tradition to suit their purposes\, although Shigemori used them more willfully and shifted between historical references and modern invention. Horiguchi’s landscapes tended to be more introspective than demonstrative\, ever refined and ever elegant\; Shigemori's were more demonstrative and exuberant\, but always enriched by historical references.\n\n\n\nAbout Marc Treib\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarc Treib is Professor of Architecture Emeritus at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a noted landscape and architectural historian and critic who has taught internationally and published widely on modern and historical subjects in Japan\, the United States\, and Scandinavia. He is co-author with Ron Herman of the definitive “Guide to the Gardens of Kyoto” as well as author of many books including: “Thinking a Modern Landscape Architecture”\, “West &amp\; East: Christopher Tunnard\, Sutemi Horiguchi”\, “Garrett Eckbo: Modern Landscapes for Living”\, “Space Calculated in Seconds: The Philips Pavilion” and “Sanctuaries of Spanish New Mexico”. He is editor of multiple volumes including “An Everyday Modernism: The Houses of William Wurster” and “Modern Landscape Architecture: A Critical Review”\, and co-editor of “Regional Garden Design in the United States”. Trieb is the recipient of several honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship\, Fulbright Fellowships\, American Academy in Rome Fellowship\, American Society of Landscape Architects Honor Awards\, and Best Exhibition Publication Award from the Society of Architectural Historians.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Impressions of Autumn – Ornamental Grasses
DESCRIPTION:\nPresented by Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOhara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter presents Impressions of Autumn – Ornamental Grasses. Ikebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. Come see arrangements featuring a wide variety of ornamental grasses including miscanthus and pampas during the special two-day show\, held in the Yanai Classroom in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Learning Arts Center at Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter\, stated the artists seek to “bring the essence of nature into their arrangements.”\n\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for moribana\, which broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an Ikebana presentation by Carolyn Alter from the Ohara School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nABOUT OHARA SCHOOL\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana is noted for developing the moribana style. This broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers. The selection and arrangement of seasonal materials genuinely allows the ikebana devotee to connect with and reflect nature’s beauty.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Explorations in Glass: Jun Kaneko and Portland's Bullseye Glass Co.
DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto by Ryan Watson\, Bullseye Glass Co.\n\n\n\nPresented in connection with the current art exhibition\, Garden of Resonance: The Art of Jun Kaneko\, this lecture takes a behind-the-scenes look at the glasswork of renowned artist\, Jun Kaneko. We've invited Ted Sawyer\, Director of Research and Education at Bullseye Glass Co. (a Portland-based trailblazing glass art manufacturer at the forefront of glass art innovation)\, to provide a look into the fascinating medium of kiln-formed glass and the work of Kaneko. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is held at the Yanai Classroom at Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nAbout Ted Sawyer\, Director of Research and Education at Bullseye Glass Co.:\n\n\n\n\nTed Sawyer&nbsp\;received a bachelor of arts degree in art with a focus in ceramics from Lewis and Clark College. From 1992-1993 he was the Artist-in-Residence at the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland\, Oregon. In 1997\, he joined Bullseye\, where he has been the Director of Research &amp\; Education since 2002. (Photo by Hanmi Meyer\, Bullseye Glass Co.)\n\n\n\n\nSawyer directs Bullseye’s Artist-in-Residence program\, where he first met and began working with Jun Kaneko\, an artist whom he had admired for many years.&nbsp\;Sawyer also oversees fabrication of large-scale glass artwork through Bullseye Studio\, teaches and lectures internationally\, and directs the production of Bullseye’s online educational videos. His artwork—featured in the Corning Museum of Glass’s New Glass Review 28\, 30\, 31\, and 35—has been exhibited at galleries and museums around the world. See his work at&nbsp\;tedsawyer.com.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout Jun Kaneko:\n\n\n\n\nJun Kaneko is a celebrated artist whose work across the mediums of sculpture\, drawing\, and painting have made a lasting impression on the international art world. Originally from Nagoya\, Japan\, Kaneko eventually settled in Omaha\, Nebraska\, where he established a studio along with his wife and fellow artist\, Ree Kaneko. For over 40 years\, Jun Kaneko has pushed the limits of his artwork to new horizons and has exhibited globally in galleries\, museums\, and public spaces. (Photo by Nina Johnson)\n\n\n\n\nAbout Bullseye Glass Co.:\n\n\n\nEstablished in 1974 in Portland\, Oregon by Dan Schwoerer\, Boyce Lundstrom\, and Ray Ahlgren\, Bullseye Glass Co. pioneered the development and manufacture of colored art glass for use in the kiln. Bullseye collaborates with artists\, architects and designers worldwide to lead the innovation of new materials and methods that expand the expressive and functional possibilities with glass.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know? Large Panel #22 featured in Garden of Resonance: The Art of Jun Kaneko\, was generously donated by Bullseye to Portland Japanese Garden earlier this year. This presentation commemorates the inclusion of this artwork in Portland Japanese Garden’s permanent collection by providing an exclusive walk-though of production processes for a range of Kaneko’s works in glass including development drawings\, initial experiments\, and technical innovations to develop final kiln-formed glass artworks.

SUMMARY:Talking Sustainability - Ancient Wisdom\, Modern Practice
DESCRIPTION:\nJapan Society &amp\; Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden Present: The Third Live Webinar of the 2022-23 Living Traditions Series\, A Multi-Part Program Designed to Examine Iconic Facets of Japanese Culture From Ancient Roots to Modern Day\n\n\n\nDuring the pandemic lockdown\, many people across the world returned to nature\, with a dramatic increase in outdoor activities such as nature walks\, wildlife watching\, and gardening. This time outdoors helped inspire an increasing awareness of the importance of living in harmony with the natural world\, which includes greater environmental sustainability and reusing and repairing resources through a diverse and circular economy. Not coincidently\, there is a growing global discourse around the role of  architecture and landscape architecture to re-evaluate traditional land-use methods\, their possible applications to modern life\, and how they might support more robust biodiversity.\n\n\n\nTalking Sustainability—Ancient Wisdom\, Modern Practice invites audiences around the globe to a virtual discussion around the core issues of environmental sustainability in architecture and landscapes\, drawing on how the wisdom of the past still informs the way that contemporary architects seek to harmonize built and natural environments. Highlighting award-winning projects by architects Hiroshi Sambuichi and Hiroshi Nakamura\, our expert speakers will explore the pre-modern relationship between humanity and the rest of nature while assessing how global connectivity may create a true symbiosis between the two.\n\n\n\nThis is a free event\, with advance registration required. The program will be live streamed through YouTube and registrants will receive the viewing link by email on the day before the event. Participants can submit questions through YouTube during the live stream.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\n\n\n\nLiving Traditions webinar series is co-presented with Japan Society and supported by the Government of Japan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:* UPDATE: Cancelled due to weather and safety concerns. Cultural Performance: Shakuhachi Flute
DESCRIPTION:\nThe shakuhachi\, an end-blown bamboo flute\, is among the most recognizable of Japan’s traditional instruments. The instrument is associated with the&nbsp\;Fuke sect of&nbsp\;Zen buddhism in the practice of sui zen. Join us at the Cultural Corner from 1:15 – 2:30pm for a shakuhachi performance by Hanzaburo\, Araki Kodō VI. The Araki Family has been playing and passing down the skills and traditions of Kinko-Ryu shakuhachi since the 19th century. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor six generations\, the Araki family has carried the Kodō name and its perspective on the tradition of Kinko-Ryū shakuhachi. Named for his great-great grandfather\, Hanzaburō\, or Hanz as he’s commonly known\, made his professional debut in 1988 in Shimonoseki\, Japan where he was given the name Baikyoku by his father\, Kodō Araki V. He attained the name Kodō at his father’s retirement ceremony in Tokyo in 2009. Hanz performed and taught in Japan until 1992 when he returned to the United States and shifted his focus almost entirely to performing. Notable appearances include The Newport Folk Festival\, The Vancouver Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections in Glasgow\, Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto\, The Gates Estate\, and was a featured soloist for The Seattle Symphony “Celebrate Asia” concert in 2013. He was also invited to perform and speak at the Interdependence Day Celebration in Mexico City and The Future of Music Coalition conference in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to his career in traditional Japanese music Hanz is a Juno Award-winning Irish flute and whistle player and singer. His most recent album of Irish music was recorded in his mother’s ancestral village of Dingle\, Co. Kerry with Lúnasa founding member Donogh Hennessy producing.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Hina Matsuri\, Doll's Day
DESCRIPTION:\nDoll's Day in 2018. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is a special time to pray for the growth and happiness of girls. It is also called Momo no Sekku\, or “Peach Blossom Festival". Visitors can view and take photos with a traditional display of dolls in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner representing the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court. An ikebana arrangement with peach blossoms will also be on display all day. \n\n\n\nCome see a musical performance by Takohachi Collab. Project\, a duo of a shamisen player and singer\, from 10:45 -11:15 am and again at 11:45 am – 12:15 pm in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner. \n\n\n\nWe will have three Ikebana workshops in the Yanai Classroom throughout the day\, hosted by Carolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the&nbsp\;Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter:\n\n\n\n1st Woskshop: 11:00 am-11:30 am\n\n\n\n2nd Workshop: 12:00-12:30 pm\n\n\n\n3rd Workshop: 1:00-1:30 pm\n\n\n\nEach Ikebana workshop can have 18 attendees on a first come first served basis. \n\n\n\nHina Matsuri is said to have originated in the Heian period (794-1185)\, a time when people believed that dolls had the power to drive away evil spirits. Paper or straw&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition called&nbsp\;nagashi bina&nbsp\;still takes place in some regions in Japan.\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\,&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls are passed down from previous generations.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nDisplay of hina dolls. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nHina&nbsp\;dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds the two imperial dolls. The Emperor doll holds a ritual baton and the Empress a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin bayashi) each holding a musical instrument except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Workshop Series: Seasonal Textiles with Judilee Fitzhugh
DESCRIPTION:\nThis is a workshop series with 4 sessions. Session dates are: 1/25\, 2/8\, 2/22\, &amp\; 3/15.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeap into the new year with Japan-inspired textile projects! Portland Japanese Garden is partnering with textile artisan Judilee Fitzhugh to provide workshops that will have its participants make charming pieces ranging from rabbit bags in honor of the Year of the Rabbit to leaf-printed notebooks.\n\n\n\nEach workshop will run from 9:30am-4:00pm\, which includes 6 hours of instruction and a 30-minute lunch break. Participation is limited to 20 students. Workshops are open to students of all levels of sewing abilities.\n\n\n\nAll tools and materials are included in the workshop fee. Coffee\, tea\, water\, and light snacks will be served. Students should bring their own lunch and a water bottle. Students may bring a small sewing kit if desired.\n\n\n\n\n[Session 1 of 4] Pieced and Stitched Rabbit Bags&nbsp\;Wednesday\, January 25\, 2023 / 9:30am - 4:00pm\n\n\n\n2023 is the year of the rabbit. According to folklore\, people born under this zodiac sign are talented\, admired\, and have fine taste. Relax and enjoy the rhythmic dance of needle and thread as we use the meditative art of hand-stitching to construct a Japanese-inspired bag celebrating the New Year. In this class\, one can draw inspiration from the Japanese traditional craft of omiyage\, darling and whimsical gifts crafted from scraps of beautiful fabric. Participants will use new and vintage fabrics and embroidery to decorate a charming drawstring bag with a rabbit (usagi in Japanese) design. The finished bag will measure about 6”x9” and be suitable for gift-giving or to hold precious objects.\n\n\n\n\n\n[Session 2 of 4] Boro MendingWednesday\, February 8\, 2023 / 9:30am - 4:00pm \n\n\n\n“Thrift is poetic because it is creative\; waste is unpoetic because it is waste.” (G.K. Chesterton\, What's Wrong with the World).\n\n\n\n\nThe term boro describes profusely stitched and mended Japanese textiles that receive an extended life with an abundance of functional but beautiful handwork. In this class\, attendees will piece\, patch\, appliqué\, and stitch a small cloth suitable for a table mat or personal tool bag. Alternatively\, students may bring an item to mend: denim jeans or jacket\, moth-eaten wool\, threadbare cotton. Students will learn a variety of embellishing stitches to breathe new life into well-loved items.\n\n\n\n\n[Session 3 of 4]: Layered and Stitched Koi PaintingWednesday\, February 22\, 2023 / 9:30am - 4:00pm \n\n\n\nMembers and visitors love to visit Portland Japanese Garden’s koi that swim under the Zig Zag bridge or in the Lower Pond. Koi symbolize love and friendship in Japan because the word “koi” is a homonym for the Japanese word that means “affection” or “love.” Capture one of our beloved koi by “painting” with layers of fabric and a variety of hand embroidery stitches in this meditative workshop. Students will leave class with an enchanting postcard-sized koi of their very own.\n\n\n\n\n\n[Session 4 of 4] Leaf-Printed Paper BookWednesday\, March 15\, 2023 / 9:30am - 4:00pm \n\n\n\nCelebrate the Garden’s beautiful foliage by making a leaf-printed book to take notes or share secrets. Attendees will use contact-printed papers dyed with real leaves along with a “Secret Belgian” binding technique to construct a 4 x 4” book with customized decorative stitching along the spine. Students are welcome to bring their own precious papers to use for accents. No previous bookbinding experience is required.\n\n\n\n\nAbout Judilee Fitzhugh\n\n\n\nJudilee Fitzhugh is a textile artisan who specializes in natural plant dyes and couture sewing. A tour of duty in Japan with the U.S. Navy led to a profound Japanese influence and a lifelong affection for indigo and plant fibers. She gained her Certificate in Craft at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in 2002 and taught in the BFA and Studio School programs until the school’s closure in 2019. Her finely crafted work combines natural objects with vintage fabric remnants\, hand weaving\, and surface design to portray a single moment in history.\n

SUMMARY:Subtle Intimacy: Here and There
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nAfter two seasonal residencies in Portland\,&nbsp\;Japan Institute’s&nbsp\;inaugural Artist-in-Residence\, Rui Sasaki\, will exhibit her site-specific works inspired by the natural beauty of Portland Japanese Garden in an exhibition titled Subtle Intimacy: Here and There.\n\n\n\nPhoto by Jonathan Ley \n\n\n\nSasaki\, who works primarily in glass\, is known for her meticulous studies of the environment around her.

Sasaki aims to create immersive and multi-sensory experiences through her glass art installations that invite viewers to explore their own relationship with the natural world.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCourtesy of Bullseye Glass Co.\, Photo by Hanmi Meyer\n\n\n\nTour the Exhibition Online\n\n\n\nPavilion Gallery:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCalvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat People Are Saying\n\n\n\n“As one approaches more closely\, one might wonder whether one has stumbled into the laboratory of some mad botanist bent on the esoteric taxonomy of exotic plants. Rui Sasaki’s site-specific installation\, “Subtle Intimacy:&nbsp\;Here and There\,” lends itself readily to such fanciful readings\, occupying the intersection of vegetal science and the provinces of poetry and philosophy…The overall effect is dreamy\, mesmerizing\, and more than a little elegiac.”\n\n\n\nRichard Speer\, Visual Art Source\n\n\n\n“Glass artist Rui Sasaki takes into account place\, history\, people\, plants and weather as she works in kiln-shaped glass with Bullseye Studio. She has sandwiched plants in glass to make luminescent tiles and plates that capture the ghostly image of the burned-out stems and leaves\, plus the random bubbles where gases collected…The artist’s home is in Kanazawa\, Japan\, as gray and rainy as Portland\, so expect some sympathetic shimmering from this self-confessed pluviophile (rain lover).”\n\n\n\nJoseph Gallivan\, Preview\n\n\n\n“Subtle Intimacy: Here and There is a new Garden experience that sparkles.”\n\n\n\nSteve Redlin\, KGW-TV\n\n\n\n“Rui Sasaki is described as a ‘glass virtuoso’ by The New York Times. I can see why!...We’ve shown [photos taken of the exhibition] a couple times throughout the course of the morning and every time I’m just enamored...”\n\n\n\nTravis Teich\, KOIN-TV\n\n\n\n“Instead of traditional exhibition methods with works displayed on walls\, viewers can traverse through Sasaki’s exhibition that brings together the flora of Japan and the Pacific Northwest in an ethereal experience that is both scientific and magical\, organic and mechanical.”\n\n\n\nJason N. Le\, Oregon ArtsWatch\n\n\n\nSasaki firing glass art at Bullseye Glass Co. Photo by Quincy Woo\n\n\n\nWe are honored that&nbsp\;Subtle Intimacy: Here and There&nbsp\;is funded in part by the&nbsp\;National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the theme of tomo\, it invites visitors to approach and connect with the arrangement from multiple viewpoints. Logs\, stone\, pear\, pine\, and flowers come together and stand apart\, interpreting tomo in ways both personal and universal.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “the way of flowers.” This artform dates back to the sixth century when China and Korea introduced Buddhism to Japan. Floral offerings\, known as kuge\, were placed on the altar of temples. For this year’s arrangement\,&nbsp\;Saga Goryu North America Chapter takes inspiration from the annual theme or odai word of 2023\, “tomo.” The odai word is a tradition in Japan in which a single character or theme is chosen by the Imperial Household for national reflection.\n\n\n\nThe Saga Goryu School\, headquartered at Daikakuji Temple in Kyoto\, was founded more than 1\,200 years ago by Emperor Saga. It continues to draw on its traditional philosophical and spiritual foundations to interpret the modern world through floral artistry.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shakuhachi Flute
DESCRIPTION:\nThe shakuhachi\, an end-blown bamboo flute\, is among the most recognizable of Japan’s traditional instruments. The instrument is associated with the&nbsp\;Fuke sect of&nbsp\;Zen buddhism in the practice of sui zen. Join us at the Cultural Corner from 1:15 – 2:30pm for a shakuhachi performance by Hanzaburo\, Araki Kodō VI. The Araki Family has been playing and passing down the skills and traditions of Kinko-Ryu shakuhachi since the 19th century. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor six generations\, the Araki family has carried the Kodō name and its perspective on the tradition of Kinko-Ryū shakuhachi. Named for his great-great grandfather\, Hanzaburō\, or Hanz as he’s commonly known\, made his professional debut in 1988 in Shimonoseki\, Japan where he was given the name Baikyoku by his father\, Kodō Araki V. He attained the name Kodō at his father’s retirement ceremony in Tokyo in 2009. Hanz performed and taught in Japan until 1992 when he returned to the United States and shifted his focus almost entirely to performing. Notable appearances include The Newport Folk Festival\, The Vancouver Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections in Glasgow\, Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto\, The Gates Estate\, and was a featured soloist for The Seattle Symphony “Celebrate Asia” concert in 2013. He was also invited to perform and speak at the Interdependence Day Celebration in Mexico City and The Future of Music Coalition conference in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to his career in traditional Japanese music Hanz is a Juno Award-winning Irish flute and whistle player and singer. His most recent album of Irish music was recorded in his mother’s ancestral village of Dingle\, Co. Kerry with Lúnasa founding member Donogh Hennessy producing.\n\n\n\n\n

Each session will include both demonstrations by Carolyn and hands-on time for the students to create.\n\n\n\nThe first session will focus on the basic principles of ikebana\; its history\, reasons to study ikebana\, the aesthetics of ikebana design\, and the mechanics of arrangement. The instructor will guide students through each phase with a demonstration and then hands-on time to create. The subsequent three sessions will build on the basic principles\, where students will review the Rising Form and Ohyo variations using different materials.\n\n\n\nIkebana Study Course Schedule (4 sessions total): Each session is available for morning or afternoon (no mixing of sessions). Students will receive ~9 hours of instruction per series.\n\n\n\nMorning session option:\n\n\n\nSession 1: Thursday\, March 9 9 am – noon Session 2: Thursday\, March 23 10am – noon Session 3: Thursday\, April 13 10am – noon Session 4: Thursday\, April 27 10am – noon \n\n\n\nAfternoon session option:\n\n\n\nSession 1: Thursday\, March 9 1pm – 4 pm Session 2: Thursday\, March 23 1pm – 3pm Session 3: Thursday\, April 13 1pm – 3pm Session 4: Thursday\, April 27 1pm – 3pm \n\n\n\nPhoto by Peter Friedman \n\n\n\nAbout Carolyn Alter\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter began studying in the Ohara School of Ikebana under Sensei Kitty (Natsue) Akre in 1993. She began teaching weekly classes and founded Wednesday’s Flowers in 2012.

She is also the Head Teacher and Treasurer of the Oregon Chapter of the Ohara School. As a physical therapist for more than thirty years\, she appreciates the healing aspects of nature through practicing ikebana. She loves being outdoors\, gardening\, and the beauty of Japanese culture.\n\n\n\nAbout The Ohara School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials’ individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for moribana\, which broke with more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.\n

SUMMARY:Finding Solace in the Soil
DESCRIPTION:\nBook sale at Yanai Classroom (2:30-3pm\, 4:30-5pm)\, Lecture (3-4:30pm)\, Book signing (4:30-5pm).\n\n\n\nJoin a lecture from distinguished scholar\, Dr. Bonnie Clark\, based on her latest book\, Finding Solace in the Soil: The Archaeology of Garden and Gardeners at Colorado’s Japanese American Incarceration Camp. Using trailblazing research\, Clark explored how gardens bridge people through time and space by centering on the horticultural efforts of wrongly incarcerated Japanese Americans at Amache\, a World War II concentration camp in Southeastern Colorado.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nClark’s lecture will unearth a microcosm through the intertwined relationship of gardens\, community\, and culture. Beyond a reflection of the past\, this lecture will share how Amache’s historical significance is still relevant today.\n\n\n\nCopies of Finding Solace in the Soil will be available for purchase in the Yanai Classroom prior to the event’s start\, and a book signing will immediately follow Clark’s lecture.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is held during Asian American Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage (AANHPI) Month\, which is a time to reflect upon and celebrate the remarkable role of the AANHPI 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.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\n\n\nDr. Bonnie Clark is committed to using tangible history – objects\, sites\, and landscapes—to broaden understanding of our diverse past.&nbsp\; She began her career as a professional archaeologist and now serves as a Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of Denver (DU)\, as well as the Curator for Archaeology of the DU Museum of Anthropology.&nbsp\;She is the author or editor of numerous publications \n\n\n\n\nincluding Finding Solace in the Soil: An Archaeology of Gardens and Gardeners at Amache and On the Edge of Purgatory: An Archaeology of Place in Hispanic Colorado. &nbsp\;Dr. Clark leads the DU Amache Project\, a community collaboration committed to researching\, preserving\, and interpreting the physical history of Amache\, Colorado’s WWII-era Japanese American internment camp. That work has been highlighted in numerous venues including Archaeology and American Archaeology magazines. In 2011\, Dr. Clark’s work was recognized by her peers with the University of Denver’s Teacher/Scholar of the Year award.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nMORE ABOUT FINDING SOLACE IN THE SOIL\n\n\n\nFrom the University Press of Colorado:\n\n\n\nFinding Solace in the Soil tells the largely unknown story of the gardens of Amache\, the War Relocation Authority incarceration camp in Colorado. Combining physical evidence with oral histories and archival data and enriched by the personal photographs and memories of former Amache incarcerees\, the book describes how gardeners cultivated community in confinement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore incarceration\, many at Amache had been farmers\, gardeners\, or nursery workers. Between 1942 and 1945\, they applied their horticultural expertise to the difficult high plains landscape of southeastern Colorado. At Amache they worked to form microclimates\, reduce blowing sand\, grow better food\, and achieve stability and preserve community at a time of dehumanizing dispossession. In this book archaeologist Bonnie J. Clark examines botanical data like seeds\, garden-related artifacts\, and other material evidence found at Amache\, as well as oral histories from survivors and archival data including personal letters and government records\, to recount how the prisoners of Amache transformed the harsh military setting of the camp into something resembling a town. She discusses the varieties of gardens found at the site\, their place within Japanese and Japanese American horticultural traditions\, and innovations brought about by the creative use of limited camp resources.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Clark's TEDx Mile High talk provides a concise overview of her research on Amache's gardens: The surprising archaeology of Japanese American internment gardens | Bonnie J. Clark | TEDxMileHigh - YouTube\n\n\n\nFinding Solace in the Soil: An Archaeology of Garden and Gardeners at Amache by Dr. Bonnie J. Clark will be sold at the Garden Gift Shop from May 1st through the 29th. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Growing with Community: Celebrating Cultural Festivals at Portland Japanese Garden
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nEmbark on a captivating journey through a myriad of festivals\, immersing yourself in the vibrant tapestry of cultural celebrations through our new art exhibition in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery\, Growing with Community: Celebrating Cultural Festivals at Portland Japanese Garden.  \n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden’s mission is Inspiring Harmony and Peace. For sixty years\, the Garden has promoted cultural understanding of Japan with locals and visitors from around the world through the beauty of the Garden as well as through cultural programs. Since the 1970s\, Portland Japanese Garden has brought together the community to celebrate traditional cultural festivals.\n\n\n\nIn Japan\, five traditional festivals dating back to the Heian Period (794-1185)\, known as Go Sekku\, are observed throughout the year. The term sekku (節句) literally means turning points of seasons\, and also refers to making a food offering to God to ensure good fortune.\n\n\n\n• Jinjitsu or Nanakusa no Sekku- Human Day on January 7\n\n\n\n• Joshi or Momo no Sekku (Hina Matsuri) - Doll’s Day on March 3\n\n\n\n• Tango no Sekku (Kodomo no Hi) - Children’s Day on May 5\n\n\n\n• Shichiseki no Sekku (Tanabata) - The Star Festival on July 7\n\n\n\n• Chōyō or Kiku no Sekku - Chrysanthemum Festival on September 9\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden hosts community events for Doll’s Day\, Children’s Day\, and the Star Festival. We celebrate New Year’s Day\, the most important holiday of the year in Japan\, instead of Human Day. We mark the Chrysanthemum Festival in partnership with Ikebana International Chapter #47 with an ikebana exhibition featuring mums. In addition\, we celebrate O-Bon in mid-August and O-Tsukimi\, or Moonviewing\, when the Harvest Moon rises in September or October.\n\n\n\nWe invite you to learn more about these festivals or better yet\, join us in celebrating the diversity and beauty of culture at Portland Japanese Garden. \n

"The most rewarding part of my travels is creating partnerships with independent craftsmen - I'm always left feeling inspired by the experience. With these partnerships\, the Garden supports the livelihoods and\, in some cases\, helps keep interest in their crafts from waning. In return\, we offer our visitors a unique product selection and help to create a greater understanding of Japanese craftsmanship and culture."\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, The Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nIllustration of Orihime and Hikoboshi by George Katagiri\, who was a longtime friend of Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanabata was inspired by an ancient Chinese folk legend. In it\, Orihime and Hikoboshi were in love but were banished by Orihime’s father the Sky King to opposite ends of the Milky Way for neglecting their work to spend time together. Moved by his daughter’s sorrow over this\, the Sky King allowed them to meet just once a year on the 7th night of the 7th month. On this night a flock of magpies use their wings to form a bridge so that the Orihime can cross the Milky Way to be united with Hikoboshi. The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7 is a clear night\; if it rains\, they must wait another year. Because of this legend\, many Japanese people pray for a clear night on July 7. \n\n\n\nTanabata is one of five seasonal festivals celebrated in Japan since the 8th century.\n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n\n10:30am - 2:30pm PDT: Wish writing in the Yanai Classroom.\n\n\n\n11:45am and 12:45pm PDT: Musical performances by Takohachi Q Ensemble (taiko drums\, shinobue flute) featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story at the Pavilion’s East Veranda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SoundsTruck NW Summer Concert in the Garden: Celebrating the Japanese-French Connection 
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nCome enjoy classical music with friends and family in the beauty of dusk at Portland Japanese Garden. \n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden has partnered with SoundsTruck NW to bring a first-of-its-kind musical concert to the Garden! SoundsTruck NW is the region's premier mobile music venue that brings live ensemble music and family-oriented programming into neighborhoods\, nature\, and institutions.\n\n\n\nTaking place at a time when the verdant landscape of Portland Japanese Garden basks in the golden hue of approaching sunset\, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy an alluring combination of flutes\, piano\, and percussion in a unique arrangement from GRAMMY-nominated composer Andy Akiho. \n\n\n\nThe Japanese-French Connection builds off the inspiration musicians from both nations have provided each other. The International Exposition held in Paris in 1867 featured a major Japanese traditional art movement that captivated French culture makers and launched an interchange of creativity and outlook that ultimately blossomed into one of modern history’s strongest cross-cultural bridges. French composers developed a passion for Japanese aesthetics and design\, and Japanese composers likewise became very interested in French tonality and musical approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nMichio Miyagi (1894-1956)\, Haru No Umi - flute and piano\, 7 minutes&nbsp\;Tōru Takemitsu (1930-1996)\, Towards the Sea -&nbsp\; alto flute and marimba\, 11 minutes&nbsp\;Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979)\, Vers la vie nouvelle - piano solo\, 4 mins&nbsp\;Oliver Messiaen (1908-1992)\, Le Merle Noir - flute and piano\, 6 minutes&nbsp\;Andy Akiho (b. 1979)\, Murasaki&nbsp\; - steel pan\, 6 minutes&nbsp\;IntermissionMakoto Shinohara (b. 1931)\, Kassouga - flute and marimba\, 8 minutes&nbsp\;Claude Debussy (1862-1918)\, Syrinx - bass flute\, 3 minutes&nbsp\;Hitomi Kaneko (b. 1965)\, Un jour avec pour piano\, 6 minutes&nbsp\;Andy Akiho (b. 1979)\, Karakurenai&nbsp\; - flute\, piano\, marimba and steel pan\, 4 minutes&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis performance is presented in partnership with the SoundsTruck NW. Food is provided by Bamboo Sushi (vegetarian option available) and St. Honore Bakery\, with wine by Torii Mor and beer by Sapporo. Tables and seating are provided by Snow Peak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Yamazaki 55 is an incredibly rare whisky distilled in the ’60s under famed Japanese distiller Shinjiro Torii. Only 100 bottles of Yamazaki 55 are in existence worldwide\, some selling for over $800\,000. This event marks one of the few times a bottle has been publicly opened in the U.S.\n\n\n\nDetails on the Two-Day Schedule\n\n\n\nDay 1: Friday\, July 21\, 2023 (5:00-9:30pm) at Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nLocation: Portland Japanese Garden at 611 SW Kingston Ave. Portland\, OR 97205. \n\n\n\nThis evening includes:\n\n\n\nWelcome receptionGuided tour of Portland Japanese GardenLecture and tasting led by Shinji Fukuyo\, Chief Blender of Suntory Yamazaki DistilleryFour-course tasting menu by Marybeth Boller\, chef and culinary diplomat who was the former Executive Chef and Events Planner of the US Embassy Residence in Japan under Ambassador Caroline Kennedy\, with cocktail pairings by Jim Meehan\, esteemed writer and James Beard Award-winning mixologistFireside chat with Shinji Fukuyo and David Broom\, award-winning international whisky writer \n\n\n\nNOTE: Standalone tickets for just this evening to celebrate a century of Japanese whisky at Portland Japanese Garden are also available.

Price is $500 to members and $600 to non-members. \n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\nIn June of 2020\,&nbsp\;Yamazaki&nbsp\;released 100 bottles of the oldest Japanese whisky ever made – a&nbsp\;55-year old single malt distilled in 1960. Of those 100 bottles\, 20 made it to the United States\, a handful arrived on the West Coast\, and one has been welcomed at the Multnomah Whisk{e}y&nbsp\;Library.\n\n\n\nWhen Multnomah Whisk{e}y Library Owner\, Ed Hutson\, learned about this bottle\, and that one of the component whiskies was distilled under House of Suntory Founder Shinjiro Torii himself\, Hutson knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring a key chapter in whisky lore to Portland\, Oregon. “It was an honor for the Library to be selected as one of the few international recipients of the Yamazaki 55\,” said Hutson\, “and it's our honor to open the bottle right here in the Library with members and friends\, and to partner with the Portland Japanese Garden to celebrate the occasion.”\n\n\n\nThis event grows out of a longtime friendship between Multnomah Whisk{e}y Library and Portland Japanese Garden\, sparked by a reverence for nature and culture. Unlike other Yamazaki 55 openings in the U.S.\, event guests will have the opportunity to celebrate this symbol of outstanding craftsmanship and history within the context of two venerated institutions. The Multnomah Whisk{e} Library is honored by its continued partnership with Portland Japanese Garden\, whose belief in the power of cultural exchange and in the excellence of craft has inspired peace and connection within the Portland community for 60 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis special event is hosted by Multnomah Whisk{e}y Library\, Portland Japanese Garden\, and guest of honor Suntory Yamazaki Distillery. In keeping with the House of Suntory’s long-standing philanthropic spirit\, Multnomah Whisk{e}y Library will donate a portion of the event proceeds to Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:"In Praise of Time" Celebrating a Century of Japanese Whisky

Alongside the renowned "Yamazaki 12 Years\," "Yamazaki 18 Years\," "Hakushu 12 Years\," and "Hakushu 18 Years\," attendees will also have the pleasure of sampling two 100th anniversary commemorative limited-edition whiskies: "Yamazaki Mizunara 18 Years" and "Hakushu 18 Years Peated Malt."\n\n\n\nEvening Itinerary\n\n\n\nLocation: Portland Japanese Garden at 611 SW Kingston Ave. Portland\, OR 972055:00 PM | Doors open5:30-6:00 PM | Custom tour of Portland Japanese Garden6:15-7:15 PM | Exclusive tasting program by Shinji Fukuyo\, Chief Blender\, Suntory Whisky7:30 PM | Special culinary experience produced by chef Marybeth Boller\, and curated mixology by Jim Meehan\, esteemed writer and James Beard Award-winning mixologist.8:30-9:15 PM | Fireside chat&nbsp\;with Shinji Fukuyo and Dave Broom9:30 PM |&nbsp\;Evening concludes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto by Jordan Hughes\n\n\n\nMore About Whisky as Cultural Heritage:\n\n\n\nGood whisky is made at the intersection of botanical science and art with “time” as its magical ingredient\, where the natural order of things and the characteristics of landscape shape and influence the taste of the end results. Like gardens\, whisky distilleries are informed and defined by the surrounding natural resources as much as they are by the craftsmen who nurture their creation. When considering the location for a distillery\, these artisans pay great attention to the surrounding water\, available timber\, terroir\, moisture\, temperature\, and climate\, which together define the terroir of a great whisky.\n\n\n\n\nYamazaki 55\, pictured to the left\, is an incredibly rare whisky distilled in the ’60s under famed Japanese distiller&nbsp\;Shinjiro Torii. Only 100 bottles of Yamazaki 55 are in existence worldwide.\n\n\n\n\nJapanese Whisky: 100 Years in the Making\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt was in 1923 when Shinjiro Torii\, the founder of Suntory\, began construction on the Yamazaki Distillery\, Japan’s first malt whisky distillery\, on the outskirts of Kyoto. For 100 years\, Suntory Whisky\, the founding house of Japanese whisky\, has dedicated itself to the productions of high quality malt\, grain and blended whiskies\, but this did not translate to immediate attention on the world stage. Japan first emerged as an international player in the world of whisky\, alongside Scotland\, Ireland\, Canada\, and the United States\, when Suntory's single malt whisky "The Yamazaki 12 Years Old" won the Gold Award in the 2003 International Spirits Challenge – the first ever Japanese whisky to achieve this honor. Suntory Whisky gained further prominence when Jim Murray’s influential Whisky Bible named Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 its Whisky of the Year. This released a wave of interest in whiskies from Japan – one which continues to grow.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden's Cultural Village.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\nOhara School of Ikebana\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an Ikebana presentation by Meng Markillie\, of the Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter\, in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nABOUT THE OHARA SCHOOL OF IKEBANA\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials’ individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for moribana\, which broke with more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.

SUMMARY:O-Bon\, The Spirit Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nO-Bon\, the Spirit Festival\, is an important Buddhist festival to honor ancestors and pray for the souls of the departed. The souls of the ancestors are believed to return to the world from beyond. The Garden’s O-Bon event features sutra chanting of the Lotus Sutra by Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi\, reading names of the recently departed\, and the quiet reverence of toro nagashi (lantern floating).\n\n\n\nJoin us during the magical hours of dusk in the Garden as we pay tribute to the memory of loved ones by lighting incense and watching candles float in the Upper Pond near the Moon Bridge. \n\n\n\nO-Bon festival at Portland Japanese Garden\, 2019. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nIn traditional beliefs\, the spirits of the ancestors come back to their homes to be reunited with their family during O-Bon. In Japan\, candles\, lanterns\, and other fires are lit to guide the spirits back to the heavens. Tōrō-nagashi\, a ceremony of floating lanterns\, is celebrated in many regions on the last night of O-Bon. Floating paper lanterns are lit with candles and released into a river or the sea to guide the ancestral spirits back to the spirit world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThroughout Japan\, Buddhist services are held at temples and homes during O-Bon to pray for one’s ancestors\, particularly those who have died within the past year. This serves as a reminder of the importance of family ties\, as a gesture of respect for those who have gone before\, and as an acknowledgment of the brevity and preciousness of life as a family.\n\n\n\nThis event is reserved for Portland Japanese Garden members only. For those who are unable to join in-person\, we will be livestreaming this event on our Instagram on Saturday\, August 19th. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Bosco Sodi: Baku
DESCRIPTION:\nStill from Baku (2012)\, HD video\, 21:20. Image courtesy of the artist and Paul Kasmin Gallery.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFor 60 years\, Portland Japanese Garden has promoted cultural diversity and peace through nature and art. The Garden's exhibitions\, featuring a rich variety of different media made by traditional and contemporary artists\, explore ideas and aesthetics integral to the fabric of life in Japan. Following this theme\, Portland Japanese Garden is delighted to be participating in “Social Forms: Art as Global Citizenship\,” the upcoming iteration of a biennial program produced by local arts nonprofit Converge45. “Social Forms” is a Portland-wide exhibition that intersects regional\, national and international perspectives around art and the futures it seeks.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFrom August 24 through September 11\, the Garden will show a video from Mexico City-born artist Bosco Sodi in its Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Titled Baku (2012)\, this single-channel video documents the meticulous care of the gardener at the Konchi-In temple in Kyoto\, Japan. Viewers will see the temple gardener perform his morning task of erasing the gravel garden\, cleaning it\, and remaking it. At once Sisyphean and meditative\, the rhythm between the gardener and the garden becomes a hypnotic dance\, engaging the viewer in a state of contemplation on the cyclical nature of life. \n\n\n\nAbout Bosco Sodi\n\n\n\nBosco Sodi (b. 1970\, Mexico City) is an internationally celebrated artist best known for his textured large-scale paintings and his sculptural installations composed of bricks\, cubes\, and spheres formed from the clay near his studio in Oaxaca. Sodi’s practice has long been influenced by wabi-sabi\, the Japanese aesthetic that embraces imperfections and transience\, simplicity and austerity\, and the effects of forces of nature on natural objects. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show 2023
DESCRIPTION:\nCelebrating the Chrysanthemum Festival (Kiku Matsuri)\n\n\n\nPhoto: Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nIkebana International (Portland Chapter #47) celebrates the chrysanthemum in this special\, two-day only exhibition. Ikebana International first celebrated Kiku Matsuri\, the Chrysanthemum festival\, at Portland Japanese Garden in 1983. On September 9 and 10\, local Ikebana artists from various schools\, or styles\, will create arrangements featuring chrysanthemums\, known as kiku in Japanese. \n\n\n\nKiku Matsuri\, or Choyo no Sekku\, observed in Japan on September 9\, is the final of the five seasonal Go-Sekku festivals in Japan's traditional lunar calendar. Chrysanthemums symbolize longevity\, dignity\, and nobility. A 16-petaled chrysanthemum even appears on the imperial family crest. The flower has been cultivated in Japan since it was first introduced in China in the 8th century. \n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nWelcome arrangement at 2022 show by Saga Goryu North American Chapter\n\n\n\nAbout Ikebana International \n\n\n\nIkebana International is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of ikebana. Ikebana International does not teach any single type of ikebana. Rather\, it is an interest group made up of people of many nationalities who enjoy ikebana and other arts of Japan.\n\n\n\nParticipating Schools (alphabetical order\; subject to change):\n\n\n\nIchiyo (一葉式)Ikenobo （池坊）Ohara (小原流)Saga Goryu (嵯峨御流)Sogetsu (草月)\n\n\n\n\n

These individuals wanted to provide the citizens of Portland with a garden of great beauty and serenity and forge a healing connection to Japan on the heels of World War II.\n\n\n\n\nToday\, Portland Japanese Garden is known globally as the most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan and the preeminent Japanese cultural organization in North America.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/bj0k4gpVsZ4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee here if you're looking for information on our 60th Anniversary Gala in October.\n

SUMMARY:Takahiro Iwasaki: Nature of Perception
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nA preview from Iwasaki’s studio: Reflection Model (Rashomon)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki\, Courtesy of ANOMALY\n\n\n\nFeaturing the Work of 2023 Japan Institute Artist-in-Residence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden and Japan Institute is are thrilled to exhibit the artwork of their 2023 Artist-in-Residence*\, Takahiro Iwasaki. The Hiroshima-based Iwasaki gained worldwide recognition when he represented Japan at the 2017 Venice Biennale\, a renowned contemporary art and architectural exposition often described as the Olympics of the art world.\n\n\n\nLearn More About Takahiro Iwasaki and His Time in Portland\n\n\n\nIwasaki's work plays with our sense of the familiar\, using everyday materials and transforming them into extraordinary model landscapes that literally turn our expectations upside down.\n\n\n\nViewers may experience Iwasaki's work both in the Pavilion Gallery and the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery. In the Pavilion Gallery\, experience the striking Reflection Model (Rashomon)\, a suspended model of the historical Rajo Gate\, as well as two Tectonic Models\, two artworks that Iwasaki created during his residency in Portland using books as his artmaking material (pictured below).\n\n\n\nReflection Model (Rashomon)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nTectonic Model (Paul Anderer Kurosawa’s Rashomon)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nIwasaki hand-cut the majority of the cypress used to create Reflection Model (Rashomon)\, often stacking two pieces of wood together and then breaking simultaneously so the pieces would break in roughly the same ways to achieve the reflection effect. The cypress was left untreated\, as natural wood is highly valued in traditional Japanese architecture. This approach also resonates with the idea of mono no aware\, or appreciating the transient nature of things. In traditional Japanese architecture\, the wood indeed rots over time. The beauty of this construction method is instead of nails\, the wood has been crafted so pieces interlock and hold together\, so parts can be substituted as needed. Buildings were one with the changing environment and were constantly changing as repairs and maintenance were needed.\n\n\n\nIn the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery\, located in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center\, viewers are met with an expansive installation that Iwasaki created during his residency this September 2023: Out of Disorder (Thread through Time) depicts the iconic landscape of Portland\, Oregon using fabric. Read more about the inspiration and process behind this artwork here.\n\n\n\nOut of Disorder (Thread through Time)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki.

Experiencing Japanese arts and culture in the serene environment of the Garden forges deeper connections between nature and humanity that reinforces our interdependence.

SUMMARY:Out of Disorder (Thread Through Time)
DESCRIPTION:\nFrom Takahiro Iwasaki: Nature of Perception\n\n\n\nOut of Disorder (Thread through Time)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nDuring his three weeks at Portland Japanese Garden\, Japan Institute Artist-in-Residence Takahiro Iwasaki demonstrated a remarkable amount of resourcefulness\, flair\, and imaginativeness in creating this locally inspired artwork. Arriving in Portland with just a laptop and sketchbook\, Iwasaki started conducting research into Portland's contours\, topography\, history and culture. As he experienced Portland’s community\, he started to collect discarded garments from Goodwill\, shops\, and the Garden’s community. With this mountain of anonymous fabrics\, Iwasaki transformed the L-shaped glass-cases of the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery into the bend of the Willamette River\, showcasing a miniaturized reflection of Portland’s landscape as seen from Portland Japanese Garden. Striations of colorful cloth form sedimentary layers that reflect the geological past but more importantly\, hint at the different cultures\, memories\, and histories that have built Portland into what it is today.\n\n\n\nOut of Disorder (Thread through Time)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nMeticulously created miniature bridges\, transmission towers\, and billboards sculpted from the garments’ threads suggest familiar landmarks that pull viewers into the artwork. For Iwasaki\, bridges and gates act as a metaphor of connection\, linking different conceptual elements such as in/out\, up/down\, and here/there\, inviting the viewer to look again from a new frame of reference. Out of Disorder (Thread through Time) corresponds to Iwasaki’s Reflection Model floating in the Pavilion Gallery\, as both pieces covertly point to the multiple facets of history\, character\, and perception behind every place and individual. Closer examination unravels many layers of truth and interpretation.\n\n\n\nContrasting with the subtle greens outside in the Garden\, Iwasaki’s playful riot of color grounds the work in a fundamental Japanese garden principle of striving for a sense of unity at the intersection of architecture and nature.\n\n\n\nOut of Disorder (Thread through Time)\, 2023 Takahiro Iwasaki.

SUMMARY:With An Eye Towards Nature: A Japanese Garden Design Intensive
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nAfter a pandemic-induced hiatus\, the Japanese Garden Training Center is happy to announce the return of an educational opportunity for design professionals: a Japanese garden Design Intensive. Aimed at meeting professional learning needs\, this 3-day course is taught by Portland Japanese Garden staff.\n\n\n\nDates: October 5-7\, 2023&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nLocation: Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nWho can apply: Design professionals\, primarily landscape architects\, landscape designers\, and architects. Members of other design disciplines are welcome to apply.\n\n\n\nCapacity: 10 participants\n\n\n\nTuition: $1\,350&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nInstructors: Sadafumi Uchiyama\, Chief Curator of Portland Japanese Garden and Director of the Japanese Garden Training Center\, and other guest instructors.\n\n\n\nKey dates:\n\n\n\nApplications due on August 21\, 2023 (Extended to August 25\, 2023)Applicants will be notified by September 1\, 2023Payment fulfilled by September 6\, 2023\n\n\n\nPre-seminar study module: A required pre-seminar study module will be made available via e-mail by September 6\, 2023\, with readings and a short preparatory assignment to be completed and submitted by September 15\, 2023.\n\n\n\nCourse summary: Designing with nature is a powerful but relatively recent approach in the western garden-making tradition. In Japan\, for well over a millennium\, garden-makers have been guided by the philosophy that nature is the first design teacher. That tradition has much to teach us about making places capable of answering ecological needs and providing visitors with a sense of space\, stillness\, and balance even in a hectic\, crowded urban setting.\n\n\n\nThis three-day course provides 25 hours of theoretical and hands-on training in the Japanese approach to designing with nature and its modern use and application. Traditional techniques of arranging stone\, plants\, and water according to nature’s design principles are placed in historical perspective and given contemporary social context as tools for creating meaningful spaces that connect people to their environment. On-site thematic garden tours and lectures offer theoretical instruction in observing and analyzing composition and representations of nature in the garden.\n\n\n\nDrawing by hand is foundational to critical thinking\, absorbing skills at the intuitive level\, and developing a cultivated eye\, and is the course’s core hands-on activity. Participants are expected to keep documentation of their observations and drawing work in a sketchbook. A required preparatory module will provide readings and assignments in advance of the course.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Sogetsu Portland Fall Show: Harmony and Peace
DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto: Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School of Ikebana believes ikebana can be practiced anytime\, anywhere\, by anyone. Local artists from the Sogetsu Portland Branch will create a wide range of styles from basic to abstract which use objects of sculptural intent and character. The three main elements designers use are line\, mass\, and color\, with an emphasis on the designer’s individual artistic expression and creativity. Visit the Garden to see how their arrangements both suit and enhance the Yanai classroom.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigawara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\nOn Sunday at 1:15 pm\, the show will also feature an ikebana demonstration by Nana Bellerud\, Branch Director of Sogetsu Portland\, in the Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Restoring Kinship with Nature through Japanese Gardens
DESCRIPTION:\nResearch Project in Kanazawa\, Japan\, by the United Nation’s University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince 2017\, the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) has examined the role of Japanese gardens as they pertain to our modern lives\, particularly around urban sustainability\, community building\, and biocultural diversity. Working in collaboration with more than 40 different cultural\, political\, business\, and grassroots organizations\, UNU-IAS\, led by acclaimed project researcher\, Dr. Juan Pastor-Ivars\, sought to understand and draw connections between nature and humanity through the lens of Kanazawa\, Japan’s urban nature and its renowned Japanese gardens. For this lecture\, we’ve invited Dr. Pastor-Ivars to share relevant findings from this research and how we might use them to build a better future for all.\n\n\n\nThe city of Kanazawa in the Hokuriku region of Japan was built around castles and gardens over generations that strategically combined function and beauty throughout its over 500-year history. Kanazawa is often considered one of the cultural epicenters of Japan\, known for its diversity of its surrounding ecosystems — from forests to freshwater\, to plains\, and marine environments. This biocultural “mosaic” provides it with an abundance of resources and services that are critical for the coexistence of humanity and nature.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an Ikebana&nbsp\;presentation by Carolyn Alter from the Ohara School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nABOUT OHARA SCHOOL\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana is noted for developing the moribana style. This broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers. The selection and arrangement of seasonal materials genuinely allows the ikebana devotee to connect with and reflect nature’s beauty.

SUMMARY:Portland Premiere: Edo Avant Garde\, a film by Linda Hoaglund
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJapan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden and Portland State University are co-hosting the Portland premiere screening of a compelling documentary film\, Edo Avant Garde. \n\n\n\nDuring the Edo era (1603‒1868)\, Japanese artists innovated many strategies to bring the natural world and its creatures to life. To animate trees\, puppies\, waves\, and clouds they incorporated asymmetry\, abstraction\, stylization\, and empty space—techniques that profoundly influenced modern art in the West. In Linda Hoaglund’s film Edo Avant Garde\, she explores the origins of Japanese artists’ creative efflorescence by filming some of the most closely-guarded Edo-era masterpieces in museum and private collections across the U.S. and Japan\, unraveling how artists hundreds of years ago in one of the world’s most isolated countries captured the natural world in strikingly unique ways. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe film’s exquisite cinematography by Japanese Academy Award-winner Norimichi Kasamatsu and outstanding original soundtrack by Satoshi Takeishi and Shoko Nagai present a remarkable\, immersive experience of the Edo era’s byobu\, folding screens.&nbsp\; Simultaneously dynamic and mesmerizing\, at its heart\, Edo Avant Garde offers a unique opportunity to look closely and see how radically different Japanese art emerged in the 17th century.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nRun time: 83 minutes \n\n\n\nAfter the premiere\, join the filmmaker for a discussion and Q&amp\;A session. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the event location is at Portland State University's Lincoln Recital Hall. \n\n\n\n*Reservations are being managed by Portland State University\, using Eventbrite. Reservations are free and open to anyone\, but registration through Eventbrite is required. Portland Japanese Garden membership accounts are not connected to Eventbrite\, but if you have difficulty registering please contact reservations@japanesegarden.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Film Maker\n\n\n\n\nLinda Hoaglund is a bilingual filmmaker born and raised in Japan. The daughter of American missionary parents\, she attended Japanese public schools and graduated from Yale University. She has directed and produced five feature-length films about art and the relationship between Japan and the U.S.: Wings of Defeat (2007)\, ANPO: Art X War (2010)\, Things Left Behind (2012)\, The Wound and The Gift (2014)\, and Edo Avant Garde (2019). Most recently\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art created a K-12 Arts Curriculum inspired by Edo Avant Garde with Hoaglund.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is brought to you by the Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden in partnership with the College of Liberal Arts &amp\; Sciences at Portland State University.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Workshop: Year of the Dragon Stitched Postcard with Judilee Fitzhugh
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is partnering with textile artisan\, Judilee Fitzhugh\, to provide a one-day workshop that will have its participants make a charming stitched postcard in honor of the Year of the Dragon. Soar into the new year or make a treasured holiday gift with this Japan-inspired textile project!\n\n\n\nAccording to folklore\, those born under the Year of the Dragon are ambitious\, confident\, and seen as natural-born leaders. Capture the imagery of the powerful dragon by “painting” with layers of fabric and a variety of hand embroidery stitches in this meditative workshop. Students will leave with a large postcard-sized (5"x 7") textile appropriate for display or gifting for the New Year.\n\n\n\nThis workshop will run from 9:30am-4:00pm\, which includes 6 hours of instruction and a 30-minute lunch break. Participation is limited to 20 students. The workshop is open to students of all levels of sewing abilities.\n\n\n\nAll tools and materials are included in the workshop fee. Coffee\, tea\, water\, and light snacks will be served. Students should bring their own lunch and a water bottle. Students may bring a small sewing kit if desired.\n\n\n\nAbout Judilee Fitzhugh\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJudilee Fitzhugh is a textile artisan who specializes in natural plant dyes and couture sewing. A tour of duty in Japan with the U.S. Navy led to a profound Japanese influence and a lifelong affection for indigo and plant fibers. She gained her Certificate in Craft at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in 2002 and taught in the BFA and Studio School programs until the school’s closure in 2019. Her finely crafted work combines natural objects with vintage fabric remnants\, hand weaving\, and surface design to portray a single moment in history.\n

DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

Students will receive a creative outlet\, a respite from the fast speed of life\, as well as the chance to connect with nature\, nurture their spirit\, and learn about an aspect of Japanese culture.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangements. Workshop instructor Carolyn Alter will teach students how to “bring the essence of nature into their arrangements.” Participants will learn beginner Hana Isho (flower design) in the Ohara School method and based on the curriculum set forth by the Ohara School of Ikebana. Each session will include both demonstrations by Carolyn and hands-on time for the students to create.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first session will focus on the basic principles of ikebana\; its history\, reasons to study ikebana\, the aesthetics of ikebana design\, and the mechanics of arrangement. The instructor will guide students through each phase with a demonstration and then hands-on time to create. The subsequent three sessions will build on the basic principles\, where students will review the Rising Form and Ohyo variations using different materials.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIkebana Study Course Schedule:\n\n\n\nThere are 4 sessions total. Each session is available for morning or afternoon. Students will receive 9 hours of instruction per series.\n\n\n\nMorning session option:\n\n\n\nREVISED - Session 1: Thursday\, February 8\, 2024\, 9am – noonSession 2: Thursday\, February 15\, 2024\, 10am – noonSession 3: Thursday\, February 29\, 2024\, 10am – noonSession 4: Thursday\, March 7\, 2024\, 10am – noon\n\n\n\nAfternoon session option:\n\n\n\nREVISED - Session 1: Thursday\, February 8\, 2024\, 1pm – 4pmSession 2: Thursday\, February 15\, 2024\, 1pm – 3pmSession 3: Thursday\, February 29\, 2024\, 1pm – 3pmSession 4: Thursday\, March 7\, 2024\, 1pm – 3pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:\n\n\n\nYanai Classroom\, Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPricing:\n\n\n\nWorkshop Series\n\n\n\nMembers: $300Non-Members: $375Participation is limited to 15 students per session.All tools and materials are included in the workshop fee.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Morning Sessions\nRegister for Afternoon Sessions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Carolyn Alter:\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter began studying in the Ohara School of Ikebana under Sensei Kitty (Natsue) Akre in 1993. She began teaching weekly classes and founded Wednesday’s Flowers in 2012.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance and Lecture: Edo Kotobuki Jishi
DESCRIPTION:\nShishimai features a dancer dressed as a lion accompanied by musicians playing shinobue\, taiko\, and atarigane.\n\n\n\nShishimai is the traditional Japanese lion dance\, and Edo Kotobuki Jishi is the celebratory shishimai of Tokyo. Come see a performance by Portland Shishimai Kai followed by a lecture by the group’s founder\, Eien Hunter-Ishikawa\, from 1:15-2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nThroughout Japan\, shishimai has been used for hundreds of years to bring good luck and chase away evil spirits. During this performance\, the shishi will go into the audience and gently bite people’s heads to offer good luck for the rest of the year. It is common in Japan to see audiences waving bills of money to attract the shishi to come in their direction. Shishimai is typically performed during New Year’s celebrations\, weddings\, company functions\, parties\, and other festive occasions. After the performance\, Eien will discuss the details of this fascinating art form such as its historical roots\, how it’s taught\, the costume parts\, the musical accompaniment\, and much more.\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_37039" align="alignleft" width="282"] Eien Hunter-Ishikawa holds his lion mask\, known as a shishigashira.[/caption]\nPortland Shishimai Kai is a group dedicated to performing and teaching the traditional celebratory lion dance of Tokyo\, the Edo Kotobuki Jishi. The group also performs Edo Bayashi (traditional festival music of Tokyo) and the Ryomen Odori (double-masked dance). Under the close mentorship of Kyosuke Suzuki of Wakayama Shachu\, we aim to preserve its history and culture by offering good luck to businesses\, organizations\, and anyone who celebrates in the presence of the shishi. Membership to the Portland Shishimai Kai is open to anyone interested in helping to introduce and deepen appreciation of this art form to a wider audience.\n\n\nEien Hunter-Ishikawa is a musician based in Portland\, Oregon and is the founder of Portland Shishimai Kai. Eien started learning Edo Kotobuki Jishi in 2001 under the instruction of Kenny Endo\, continuing on to study with Kyosuke Suzuki\, a longtime member of Wakayama Shachu (Nationally Designated Important Intangible Cultural Asset of Folk Arts). Since 2011\, Eien has coordinated Suzuki sensei’s United States performance and teaching tours\, providing translation and organizational assistance. He has been granted approval to teach all four parts (mai\, taiko\, shinobue\, atarigane) of Wakayama Ryu Edo Bayashi\, Ryomen Odori\, and Kotobuki Jishi.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Hina Matsuri\, Doll’s Day
DESCRIPTION:\nThe top tier of a hina doll display features the Emperor and the Empress while the following tiers hold their imperial attendants. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. In Japan\, families with daughters mark the festival by displaying intricately crafted hina dolls dressed in ornate costumes several days before the festival. Visitors can view and take photos with a traditional display of hina dolls in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner.\n\n\n\nMarch 3 is also called Momo-no-Sekku\, or Peach Blossom Festival\, because according to the lunar calendar peach blossoms were in full bloom on this day. It was also believed that peach blossoms had the power to drive away evil spirits. At Portland Japanese Garden\, like many families in Japan\, we display sprigs of peach blossoms together with hina dolls. An ikebana arrangement by Carolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter\, featuring peach blossoms will accompany the display. \n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter assists a student at last year’s ikebana workshop.\n\n\n\nFestival visitors may sign up to participate in a family-friendly ikebana class\, learning the fundamental foundations of ikebana and creating their very own arrangement to take home. Each ikebana workshop can have 18 attendees on a first come first served basis. The workshops in the Yanai Classroom will take place at the following times: \n\n\n\n1st Workshop: 11:00 am-11:30 am&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n2nd Workshop: 12:00-12:30 pm&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n3rd Workshop: 1:00-1:30 pm&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn the Miller Living Room\, two family-friendly music and dance performances by TAKOHACHI - Kotori Kai Shamisen School from 10:45 -11:15 am and again at 11:45 am – 12:15 pm in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner. The performances will feature Tsugaru shamisen (a three-stringed lute)\, taiko drums\, shinobue (a side-blown bamboo flute with a high-pitched sound)\, minyo (Japanese folk songs) vocals\, and dance. \n\n\n\nAbout HINA MATSURI\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri is said to have originated in the Heian period (794-1185)\, a time when people believed that dolls had the power to drive away evil spirits. Paper or straw hina dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition called nagashi bina still takes place in some regions in Japan.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying hina dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of hina dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\, hina dolls are passed down from previous generations.  \n\n\n\nHina dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds the two imperial dolls. The Emperor doll holds a ritual baton and the Empress a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin bayashi) each holding a musical instrument except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin and sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces. \n\n\n\nThe five court musicians. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Cultural Talk: Higo Camellia by Garland Bayley\, Oregon Camellia Society
DESCRIPTION:\nCamellias blooming in Portland Japanese Garden. Photo by Julia Taylor.\n\n\n\nCome view and learn about the elegant beauty of camellias. Garland Bayley of the Oregon Camellia Society (OCS) will present a special talk on Higo camellias in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center from 1:15 – 2:15pm.\n\n\n\nCamellias are some of the few flowers guests to Portland Japanese Garden may see blooming throughout our landscape in colder months. While they appear throughout our grounds\, one favorite location is the Camellia Tunnel\, an interwoven arch of these flowers that has been in the Strolling Pond Garden since its earliest years. When facing the 18-foot-tall Sapporo Pagoda Lantern\, veer right toward the Moon Bridge to pass through the tunnel.\n\n\n\nNative to Japan\, China and Southeast Asia\, these evergreen broad-leaf shrubs can reach heights of six to 12 feet tall. Treasured in Japan for centuries\, camellias are also well-suited for Oregon gardens. They are drought tolerant\, easy to prune\, and are resistant to insects and pests. With a remarkable number of different blooms with varying sizes\, colors\, forms\, textures\, and sometimes even fragrances\, these stunning and culturally important flowers are best appreciated in person.\n\n\n\nAbout the Oregon Camellia Society\n\n\n\nThe Oregon Camellia Society (OCS) is dedicated to promoting\, growing\, and caring for camellias. Established in 1942\, the OCS is one of the oldest camellia societies in the country\, and also propagates unusual camellia cultivars for eventual planting in local communities. Garland Baley serves as the organization’s president.\n

DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe.

It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStarting in April 2024\, Mindfulness Tours will be offered to members twice a month\, to increase the number of tours available for members. Reservations for all tours between April and December will be released on Wednesday\, March 13th at 7:00am PDT.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting with Torii Mor
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an exclusive evening wine tasting! For more than a decade\, Torii Mor has been the official winery of Portland Japanese Garden. In this special wine tasting held during the twilight hours in our Cultural Village\, Torii Mor will present five of its best wines\, each of which will be accompanied by light bites\, curated to complement their complex flavors. Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase the wines they will be tasting at the event’s conclusion.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPaired with this special culinary event will be thoughts from Jon Tomaselli. Tomaselli\, a warm and engaging storyteller\, comes from a family with three generations of Italian winemakers—his earliest days in viticulture came at the age of 4. After moving to Oregon in 2006\, Tomaselli joined Torii Mor under the leadership of eighth-generation Burgundian winemaker Jacque Tardy. Tomaselli\, now Head Winemaker for Torii Mor\, will discuss wine making\, tasting\, and pairing. \n\n\n\nAbout Torii Mor&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nOperating out of one of the oldest established vineyards in the Willamette Valley\, Torii Mor derives its name from the Torii gate that welcomes people in the property’s Japanese garden and “mor\,” a Scandinavian word meaning “earth” and a nod to the Nordic roots of its founder\, longtime Garden friend and supporter\, Dr. Donald Olson. The winery has been producing thousands of cases of high-quality Pinot Noir\, Pinot Gris\, and Chardonnay annually since its first vintage in 1993. Key to Torii Mor’s award-winning and delicious wines is the nature from which it is sourced: older vines at 800 feet in elevation in the rich Jory soil of the Dundee Hills.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto and Cello by SamaZama
DESCRIPTION:\nMasumi Timson and Joseph Harchanko performing at Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nSamaZama Koto/Cello Duo is a collaboration of the Koto – a Japanese traditional musical instrument played By Masumi Timson and the Cello played by Joseph Harchanko. “Samazama” is the Japanese word for variety. The SamaZama Duo combines the esoteric nature of traditional and contemporary Japanese music with tango\, jazz\, blues and western classical music\, blending the instruments and music of Eastern and Western cultures in a moving and uncommon musical synthesis. Their music deftly unites these two widely divergent instruments through traditional and contemporary Koto works to create a vibrant musical soundscape that soothes and inspires.\n\n\n\nARTIST BIO:&nbsp\;MASUMI TIMSON\n\n\n\nMasumi Timson is a performer and instructor of the Koto and Shamisen – traditional musical instruments of Japan. She holds a Master’s Degree in Music with a specialization in the Koto and Shamisen from Seiha Conservatory of Japanese Traditional Music\, one of the most prestigious Koto schools in Japan. Masumi plays both classical and contemporary Koto music\, and also sings Japanese classical songs with Koto and Shamisen accompaniment. She also enjoys collaborating with various western musical instruments to explore a wide range of musical genres\, from jazz and tango\, to western classical compositions by Bach and Mozart. Masumi has participated in many recordings of Pink Martini\, and has performed with the band at various venues around the world\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. She also directs the koto club at Willamette University and teaches Japanese language and culture at Chemeketa Community College. We’re truly fortunate to have her as a cultural partner.\n\n\n\nMasumi Timson\, October 2023.\n\n\n\nARTIST BIO:&nbsp\;JOSEPH HARCHANKO\n\n\n\nDr. Joseph Harchanko is an award-winning composer and cellist living and teaching in Salem\, Oregon. He received his D.M.A. in composition at The University of Texas and holds Masters degrees in cello and composition from The Florida State University. He has written extensively for traditional ensembles and digital media. His music has been described as both "energetic and exhilarating" and "mystically alluring." Dr. Harchanko is principle cellist of the Salem Orchestra in Oregon and a founding member of the Salem Cello Quartet. He performs frequently with his teenage daughter\, Elena\, under the name String Theory Cello Duo. Many of his compositions and performances are inspired by western landscapes. His works have been performed across North and South America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia including performances at New York’s Carnegie Hall\, London’s Colourscape\, France’s Bourges and Videoformes festivals\, and New Music in Tasmania.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century.

DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an Ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigawara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the Oregon Arts Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of Oregon and the National Endowment for the Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Painting with Thread: The Art and Culture of Fukusa
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nFukusa from the Sinton Collection. Photo by Nina Johnson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommemorating the recent donation of The Peter and Beverly Sinton Japanese Gift and Altar Cover Collection\, this exhibition showcases the art of gift-giving through the beauty of fukusa. Fukusa are ornate textiles traditionally made of Japanese silk that were draped over formal gifts and presented amongst prominent families during the Edo period (1603 – 1868) through Taishō period (1912-1926) in Japan. A fukusa could be embellished through weaving\, dyeing\, painting and embroidery or sometimes a combination of techniques. The fukusa was often not part of the gift\, but an important aspect of the gift-giving ritual and would be returned to the original owner often with a small reciprocal gift. Simplified versions of this practice remain in Japan today to commemorate weddings\, births and funerals.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery\, nature-inspired fukusa&nbsp\;related to the plants and scenes familiar within Portland Japanese Garden are on display. The elaborate designs and materials used to create the fukusa also revealed a message filled with symbolism about the gift\, gift-giver\, and occasion to the recipient.&nbsp\;These functional works of art embody a high level of technique and artistry in their designs.  Visit Painting with Thread: The Art and Culture of Fukusa to learn more about this fascinating textile artform and the practice of gift-giving in Japanese culture.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout Peter and Beverly Sinton: &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPeter and Beverly Sinton of San Francisco\, CA have long held an interest and passion for Japanese art. Peter is a 4th generation San Franciscan and Beverly is a 4th generation Japanese American from Honolulu. Together\, they spent two years in the Peace Corps and throughout their careers pursued an interest in art collecting and Japanese textiles. In 2024\, they generously donated their collection of fukusa\, gift-covers\, and uchishiki\, altar covers\, to Portland Japanese Garden to be enjoyed and appreciated by guests as The Peter and Beverly Sinton Gift and Altar Cover Collection.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn addition to a lifetime of collecting art\, the couple share a commitment to public service. After earning an MA from Stanford\, Peter Sinton pursued a journalism career\, writing for Time and Business Week magazines as well as the San Francisco Chronicle. Peter has served as a volunteer docent at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and board member of the Society for Asian Art.  Beverly Sinton earned a BA in Art History from the University of California\, Berkeley and worked for a law firm and workplace evaluation company. She also volunteered at Shanti Project and Zen Hospice to support terminally ill patients\, as well as the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. On June 23\, 2024 Portland Japanese Garden looks forward to hosting the couple as Peter Sinton presents on the fascinating world of Japanese textiles from their decades of collecting.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames F. and Marion L.

However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStarting in April 2024\, Mindfulness Tours will be offered to members twice a month\, to increase the number of tours available for members.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, The Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nIllustration of Orihime and Hikoboshi by George Katagiri\, who was a longtime friend of Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nTanabata\, the Star Festival\, is one of five seasonal festivals that has been celebrated in Japan since the 8th century. Each summer in Japan\, people prepare for the festival by writing their wishes on narrow strips of paper called tanzaku and hanging them with other origami paper ornaments on bamboo branches displayed at the entrance to their homes and public places. Guests attending Portland Japanese Garden's Tanabata celebration will be invited to the Yanai Classroom to write their own wishes on tanzaku. Volunteers will be present to assist guests with hanging their tanzaku on the bamboo in the Crumpacker Bamboo Allee\, adding to the colorful display. The festival will also feature music from Takohachi featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story.\n\n\n\nWarm weather is expected! Be sure to bring water bottles\, sun protection\, and items to stay cool.\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n10:30am - 2:30pm: Wish writing in the Yanai Classroom.\n\n\n\n11:45am - 12:15pm: Musical performances by Takohachi featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story inside in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n12:45pm - 1:15pm: Musical performances by Takohachi featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story inside in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nMore About Tanabata\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanabata was inspired by an ancient Chinese folk legend of two stars—Hikoboshi\, the Cowherder Star (Altair)\, and his lover\, Princess Orihime\, the Weaver Star (Vega). Orihime and Hikoboshi were in love\, but banished to opposite ends of the Milky Way by Orihime’s father\, the Sky King\, for neglecting their work to spend time together. Moved by his daughter’s sorrow over this\, the Sky King allowed them to meet just once a year on the 7th night of the 7th month. On this night a flock of magpies use their wings to form a bridge so that Orihime may cross the Milky Way to be united with Hikoboshi. The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7th is a clear night\; if it rains\, they must wait another year. Because of this legend\, many Japanese people pray for a clear night on July 7.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana by Diane Dixon
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana arrangement by Diane Dixon\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Diane Dixon from the Ohara School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout Ohara School\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana is noted for developing the moribana style. This broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers. Ohara School emphasizes seasonal qualities\, natural growth processes\, and the beauty of natural environments. The selection and arrangement of seasonal materials genuinely allows the ikebana devotee to connect with and reflect nature’s beauty.\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\nDiane Wang Dixon is an accomplished artist with extensive experience in the traditional Japanese floral art of Ikebana.  Ms. Dixon practices with the Ohara school of Ikebana both in the United Stated and Asia.  She conducts private exhibitions and workshops\, charity fundraising events and artist workshops.  \nMs. Dixon is a global citizen and a seasoned business professional with a diverse cultural background.  She has lived and worked throughout Asia Pacific and North America.  Living in Tokyo for more than ten years allowed her to immerse herself in the true spirit of Ikebana Japanese art\, truly demonstrated by the excellence of her work. Her presentations demonstrate high quality\, authenticity\, and inspiration.\nMs. Dixon is the President of The Asian Art and Culture Foundation and she currently serves as the officer on the Board of Ikebana International\, Portland Chapter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden receives support from the&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;Arts&nbsp\;Commission\, a state agency funded by the State of&nbsp\;Oregon&nbsp\;and the National Endowment for the&nbsp\;Arts.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigawara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:O-Bon\, The Spirit Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nSaturday\, 8/17 Event Canceled: \n\n\n\n\nThe 8/17 event has been canceled due to inclement weather. However\, on Saturday from 8am-4pm\, while the weather holds\, we will have a table set up with O-Bon decorations and incense at the Garden so that you may still have a way to honor your loved one in a meaningful way. We apologize for the inconvenience and disruption in plans.\n\n\n\nIf you submitted a name\, it will be read at this evening's O-Bon event (Friday\, 8/16). You can watch it by visiting Portland Japanese Garden’s Instagram page here. We apologize for the inconvenience and the disruption of your plans. Thank you for your understanding.\n\n\n\n\nO-Bon festival at Portland Japanese Garden\, 2019. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden members are invited to take part in O-Bon\, the Spirit Festival\, an important Buddhist festival to honor ancestors and pray for the souls of the departed.\n\n\n\nJoin us during the magical hours of dusk in the Garden as we pay tribute to the memory of loved ones. O-Bon is both one of Portland Japanese Garden’s longest-held traditions and biggest events of the year. Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi\, who proposed the idea of hosting the Spirit Festival to our organization in 1976\, has introduced members of all religions and backgrounds to the Buddhist tradition of honoring the departed for close to half a century.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReverend Zuigaku Kodachi chants the Lotus Sutra\, Myohorengekyo\, 2023. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nAt the Upper Pond\, Rev. Kodachi chants the Lotus Sutra\, or Myohorengekyo\, in Japanese. Members mourn peacefully together as names of the recently departed are read. During toro nagashi\, a ceremony of floating lanterns\, members watch with quiet reverence as candles float in the Upper Pond near the Moon Bridge. The beautiful five-story Sapporo Pagoda Lantern in our Strolling Pond Garden and other lanterns throughout our landscape are lit to help the spirits find their way home.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThis event is available exclusively to members of Portland Japanese Garden. For those who are unable to join in-person\, we will be livestreaming this event on our Instagram. To learn when this livestream will place\, please reference our weekly newsletter.\n\n\n\n2023 O-Bon Photo by Portland Japanese Garden. \n\n\n\nAbout O-Bon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nO-Bon is a Buddhist festival for commemorating ones’ ancestors\, which dates back more than 1\,300 years. Traditionally\, the spirits of the ancestors are believed to temporarily return to this world to reunite with their relatives during O-Bon. Other than New Year’s Day\, O-Bon is the other most important holiday in Japan.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThroughout Japan\, Buddhist services are held at temples and homes from August 13-15 to pray for one’s ancestors\, particularly those who have died within the past year. This serves as a reminder of the importance of family ties\, as a gesture of respect for those who have gone before\, and as an acknowledgment of the brevity and preciousness of life as a family.\n\n\n\nCandles\, lanterns\, and other fires are lit to guide the spirits back to the heavens.&nbsp\;Toro-nagashi\,&nbsp\;a ceremony of floating lanterns\, is celebrated in many regions on the last night of O-Bon. Floating paper lanterns are lit with candles and released into a river or the sea to guide the ancestral spirits back to the spirit world.\n\n\n\nFamilies also visit the cemetery to clean the graves of relatives and pay their respects by offering flowers and burning incense. Also\, people clean their homes and offer a variety of foods to the spirits of their ancestors in front of their butsudan (family altar)\, decorated with flowers and paper lanterns.\n\n\n\nRemarks from Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi on the History of O-Bon\n\n\n\nReverend Zuigaku Kodachi in Portland Japanese Garden in 1990. Photo courtesy of Ed McVicker.\n\n\n\nReverend Zuigaku Kodachi is Head Priest of the Buddhist congregation\, Nichiren Shu Minori Kai\, and Professor Emeritus at Lewis &amp\; Clark University. Reverend Kodachi first moved to the United States from his native Japan more than 60 years ago and has helped educate multiple generations on both Buddhism and Japanese culture writ large. Among the many acts of cultural diplomacy the Reverend has embarked on was the introduction of O-Bon (the Spirit Festival) to Portland Japanese Garden in 1976.\n\n\n\nPrior to chanting\, Reverend Kodachi walks guests through the significance of O-Bon as well as the etymology of the word O-Bon to deepen their understanding. Below is a summary of what he has shared over the years:\n\n\n\n"O-Bon is an opportunity for people and communities to gather to honor our beloved ones who have passed and express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to them.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;The O-Bon was officially introduced in Japan in 606 C.E. during the reign of the 33rd Japanese Emperor\, Empress Suiko\, but it originated in Central Asia.\n\n\n\nO-Bon is the transliteration of the title of the Mahayana sutra\, the Ullambana-Sutra. This sutra was very popular among Mahayana Buddhist texts. According to linguistic scholar Dr. Yutaka Iwamoto\, the word Ullambana was derived from the ancient Iranian word Urvan\, which means soul.\n\n\n\nThrough the transmigration this Buddhist text\, we can observe the existence of international communication and diversity in the history of mankind.\n\n\n\nSogdiana (Sogdia) was an ancient Iranian state in the Old Persian Empire\, spanning present-day Uzbekistan\, Turkmenistan\, Tajikistan\, Kazakhstan\, and Kyrgyzstan. Sogdiana was an important international trading hub between the East and West. Sogdiana's capital city\, Samarkand\, was known as one of the major historical oasis cities on the Silk Road in Central Asia. It is through this vast network that the Sogdian people brought the tradition and custom of O-Bon to China in the fifth century before it would be transmitted to Japan.\n\n\n\nThe origin of O-Bon's concept of Oneness has great influence on mankind and the history of peace in the world. Even though the tradition of O-Bon is closely related to Buddhism\, its spirit is universal and widely appreciated by people\, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds."\n\n\n\nWritten by Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nThis demonstration is featured as part of the&nbsp\;Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show 2024.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigawara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:O-Tsukimi\, the Moonviewing Festival - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:\nMoonviewing\, or O-Tsukimi in Japanese\, is the practice of gazing at the full moon and enjoying its sacred beauty. Since 1990\, Portland Japanese Garden has scheduled this beloved annual event to coincide with the harvest moon\, which occurs anytime from September to early October. There is no better place in Portland to share the romance and mystery of this special custom than from the eastern overlook of the Portland Japanese Garden Pavilion with its views of the city skyline and Mount Hood.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Moonviewing\, guests can:\n\n\n\n\nStart the evening with a light vegetarian meal catered by Obon Shokudo\, accompanied by a shamisen (3-stringed instrument) performed by Yumi Torimaru in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard. Joto Sake and Japanese lager by Pfriem Family Brewers will also be served.\n\n\n\nStroll the lantern-lit garden. Along with O-Bon (The Spirit Festival)\, this is one of only two events each year in which our stone lanterns are illuminated.\n\n\n\nMove to the Mount Hood Overlook and anticipate the moonrise with a cup of Jasmine Pearl Tea and an opportunity to compose haiku as shakuhachi (bamboo flute) music performed by Patrick Johnson wafts through the air.\n\n\n\nView a candle-lit tea ceremony in Kashintei Tea House led by Marjorie Yap-Tenney.\n\n\n\nAppreciate a special display of ikebana accompanied by tsukimi dango. The 15 white rice cakes\, symbolize the 15th day of the 8th lunar month\, when Moonviewing was traditionally celebrated in Japan. Nana Bellerud’s ikebana will feature plumes of miscanthus (susuki in Japanese)\, representing the bounty of rice plants\, which the plant resembles. \n\n\n\nAdmire the raked gravel in the Flat Garden\, designed in a special\,&nbsp\;once-a-year checkerboard raking pattern called ichimatsu in Japanese\; the alternating squares of white river gravel cast shadows in the moonlight.\n\n\n\n\nYumi Tomimaru performing shamisen at Moonviewing\, 2023. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nFlat Garden raked for Moonviewing \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY7GofUhcsE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Notes:\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that there are three separate evenings available for Moonviewing this year: September 16\, September 17\, and September 18.\n\n\n\nThis event will take place rain or shine.\n\n\n\nPhotographers are asked not to bring tripods or use flash photography.\n\n\n\nTickets benefit Portland Japanese Garden’s cultural programming.\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout O-Tsukimi\n\n\n\nO-Tsukimi (literally\, “looking at the moon”) is the practice of gazing at the harvest moon\, the full moon in mid-autumn\, and enjoying its beauty. In Japan\, the custom of holding these celebrations is thought to have been started by aristocrats in the Heian period that lasted from the 8th to 12th centuries. Courtiers gathered for an elegant evening to admire the full moon\, drink saké\, recite poetry\, play musical instruments\, and pray for good fortune and an abundant harvest.\n\n\n\nPatrick Johnson performing shakuhachi at Moonviewing\, 2023\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Since 1990\, Portland Japanese Garden has scheduled this beloved annual event to coincide with the harvest moon\, which occurs anytime from September to early October. There is no better place in Portland to share the romance and mystery of this special custom than from the eastern overlook of the Portland Japanese Garden Pavilion with its views of the city skyline and Mount Hood.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Moonviewing\, guests can:\n\n\n\n\nStart the evening with a light vegetarian meal catered by Obon Shokudo\, accompanied by a koto (13-stringed zither) performed by Mitsuki Dazai in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard. Joto Sake and Japanese lager by Pfriem Family Brewers will also be served.\n\n\n\nStroll the lantern-lit garden. Along with O-Bon (The Spirit Festival)\, this is one of only two events each year in which our stone lanterns are illuminated.\n\n\n\nMove to the Mount Hood Overlook and anticipate the moonrise with a cup of Jasmine Pearl Tea and an opportunity to compose haiku as shakuhachi (bamboo flute) music performed by Kodō Araki&nbsp\;wafts through the air.\n\n\n\nView a candle-lit tea ceremony in Kashintei Tea House led by Sayo Tanne.\n\n\n\nAppreciate a special display of ikebana accompanied by tsukimi dango.

SUMMARY:END OF SUMMER: The Creativity of a New Generation 
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\nJapan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden is proud to present a week-long celebration of the artist-in-residency project End Of Summer in downtown Portland with mini-exhibitions on display from Sep. 21 - 27 at the Bullseye Projects in the Pearl District.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstablished in 2016 by Matt Jay (1987 – 2022)\, End Of Summer is a cross-cultural art program based in Portland\, Oregon.&nbsp\; It is comprised of an annual summer residency for emerging artists and creators from Japan\, to immerse themselves in the natural and creative landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. The gallery space will share how the&nbsp\;residency&nbsp\;program began\, including personal stories from the participating artists&nbsp\;that&nbsp\;relay how the experience of working in the art communities of the Pacific Northwest changed their lives and their understanding of an artist’s practice.\n\n\n\nExhibitions on Display\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Matt Jay (1987-2022)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Jay was the Founder and Director of&nbsp\;End Of Summer\,&nbsp\;a cross-cultural art program dedicated to exploring and supporting contemporary modes of expression from Japan. End Of Summer regularly organizes satellite exhibitions and symposiums in the&nbsp\;U.S. and Japan with its programming centering around an annual artist residency and lecture series in Portland\, Oregon. Additionally\, Jay was the co-founder of THAT YEAR\, an interdisciplinary creative studio\, which forges connections between Asia and the U.S. through art and design.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About End Of Summer\n\n\n\nEnd Of Summer (EOS) exists to build a dialogue between the U.S. and Japan through the Pacific Northwest and the expression of creative ideas. End Of Summer explores the art of Japan in an increasingly globalized society\, reconsidering notions of East and West\, center and periphery.\n\n\n\nIn its original format under the creative vision of Matt Jay\, up to six Japanese artists were invited to participate in the program through an open call. The residency uses the setting of Portland\, a city with deep cultural ties to Japan\, a community-oriented ethos\, and dynamic arts scene—a haven for creative exploration. Furthermore\, the program emphasizes research-based experiences rather than a demand for artistic production.\n\n\n\nCarrying the creed of the project manifested by its founder\, End Of Summer looks forward to&nbsp\;continuing its mission. While Japan Institute seeks to harness the traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge artistry already embedded in Portland Japanese Garden\,&nbsp\;both organizations are supported&nbsp\;by the vibrant and creative energy of the Pacific Northwest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Japan Institute\n\n\n\nJapan Institute was established in 2020 as a programmatic arm of Portland Japanese Garden to provide a cultural intersection between the East and West through the shared appreciation of nature and creativity. This sibling organization allows the Garden to share and expand the arts and cultural programs beyond the Garden’s physical boundaries\, deepening international partnerships with like-minded organizations\, while continuing to engage diverse people in dialogues about creativity and connection to nature.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented by Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden and Art J Foundation in partnership with Bullseye Projects\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Yuki Wallen\, the Matt Jay End Of Summer Program Manager\, at ywallen@japanesegarden.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden and Japan Institute share the mission: Inspiring Harmony &amp\; Peace\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:END OF SUMMER: Cafe Talks with Studio Bang-Gu
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nEND OF SUMMER: The Creativity of a New Generation Related Event\n\n\n\nJoin us for a retrospective on the design evolution of End Of Summer at the&nbsp\;Bullseye Projects in the Pearl District.\n\n\n\nWhen Matt Jay and Studio Bang-Gu first began conceptualizing End Of Summer in 2015\, the artist residency program did not yet exist\, and the idea was still in its infancy. Today\, through the collaboration with Matt Jay and Studio Bang-Gu\, the residency has firmly established itself within Portland’s art community\, gaining international recognition for its innovative programming\, esteemed artist alumni\, and distinctive designs.\n\n\n\nWith a new partnership with the Japan Institute\, End Of Summer embarks on an exciting new chapter.\n\n\n\nIn this in-depth presentation\, Studio Bang-Gu’s Lucien Ng and Daisy Dalhae Lee will discuss the development of the End Of Summer branding alongside Matt Jay\, showcasing how the design has evolved in tandem with the residency program over the years. They will also unveil the new visual identity for 2024.\n\n\n\nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&amp\;A session and refreshments.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudio Bang-Gu is a collaborative design practice founded by Daisy Dalhae Lee &amp\; Lucien Ng in 2016. Engaged in ongoing partnerships in the fields of art &amp\; commerce\, our work is fueled by a multifaceted influence of eastern and western sensibilities. With a combined background in design\, motion\, fashion and technology\, our creative process is rooted in ideas first\; unbounded by a singular discipline. We are obsessed by an interdisciplinary design approach that allows us to create contemporary and unconventional forms of expressions with our collaborators.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About End Of Summer\n\n\n\nEnd Of Summer (EOS) exists to build a dialogue between the U.S. and Japan through the Pacific Northwest and the expression of creative ideas.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:END OF SUMMER: Cafe Talks with Ai Sugiura and Hanae Utamura in conversation with Keenan Jay
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nEND OF SUMMER: The Creativity of a New Generation Related Event\n\n\n\nPlease join End of Summer alumni Ai Sugiura (2019) and Hanae Utamura (2017) for presentations on the themes of time\, communication\, and distance in their&nbsp\;works at the&nbsp\;Bullseye Projects in the Pearl District.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThey will be joined by Keenan Jay for a discussion regarding their experiences during the residency and for Q and A with the audience.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAi Sugiura is Tokyo based multidisciplinary artist who focuses on the trivial objects of everyday life and rethinks their meaning and function. Sugiura’s artistic practice is driven by her interest in material and space\, inside/outside\, memory\, and the transition between the ordinary and extraordinary. Sugiura’s work often takes the form of sculpture and installation\, and in recent years she has been incorporating photography into her three-dimensional production and take the technique of photo collage. Since 2015\, Sugiura has been part of the artist collective&nbsp\;Sabbatical Company.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPortrait by Corey Aldrich\n\n\n\nHanae Utamura is a Japanese interdisciplinary artist based in New York and Tokyo.&nbsp\;Her work engages with historical memory\, questioning the notion of progress in modernity\, ecology and technology. Utamura’s media include video\, performance\, installation\, and sculpture. She connects human beings and the earth\, using the physical human body as a conduit. She explores negotiations and conflicts between the human and the non-human\, and how all the varieties of the wills of life manifest such as in the field of science. By decentralizing the human perspective\, Utamura diversifies historical narratives\, and enters the imagination of nature.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Moderator&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nKeenan Jay is an art historian based in Tokyo\, Japan.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About End Of Summer\n\n\n\nEnd Of Summer (EOS) exists to build a dialogue between the U.S. and Japan through the Pacific Northwest and the expression of creative ideas.

The residency uses the setting of Portland\, a city with deep cultural ties to Japan\, a community-oriented ethos\, and dynamic arts scene—a haven for creative exploration.

End Of Summer and Japan Institute together are seeking to harness the traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge artistry of Japan already embedded in Portland Japanese Garden\, supported by the vibrant and creative energy of the Pacific Northwest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Japan Institute\n\n\n\nJapan Institute was established in 2020 as a programmatic arm of Portland Japanese Garden to provide a cultural intersection between the East and West through the shared appreciation of nature and creativity. This sibling organization allows the Garden to share and expand the arts and cultural programs beyond the Garden’s physical boundaries\, deepening international partnerships with like-minded organizations\, while continuing to engage diverse people in dialogues about creativity and connection to nature.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented by Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden and Art J Foundation in partnership with Bullseye Projects\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Yuki Wallen\, the Matt Jay End Of Summer Program Manager\, at ywallen@japanesegarden.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden and Japan Institute share the mission: Inspiring Harmony &amp\; Peace\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I was drawn in by each element of the landscape\, which brought up nostalgic childhood memories of my grandparents taking me to various Japanese gardens in Kyoto. Moss carpets created spaces of deep tranquility and transcendent beauty\; water flowing through the rocks of the creek symbolized the flow of life\; and skillfully pruned pine trees were stylized structures that lent each of the specimens its own personality. I was fascinated by the authenticity and magic of Portland Japanese Garden. At the end of my visit\, I realized that care and love are the main ingredients of this place. It was unmistakable that staff\, volunteers\, visitors\, and all who were involved in this Garden\, were giving so much love\, care\, passion\, and pride here. This truly resonates with my kintsugi artwork. Kintsugi is a 500-year-old art form of mending damaged ceramics with urushi\, natural lacquer\, dusted with powdered gold. This method of mending is seen as enhancing the beauty and value of objects by celebrating their imperfection and impermanence. This approach is the opposite of traditional Western ceramic restoration\, in which the damage to the work is sought to be hidden\, which I studied and practiced for 25 years.”\n\n\n\nNaoko Fukumaru in the process of creating her artwork.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shakuhachi Flute
DESCRIPTION:\nThe shakuhachi\, an end-blown bamboo flute\, is among the most recognizable of Japan’s traditional instruments. The instrument is associated with the&nbsp\;Fuke sect of&nbsp\;Zen buddhism in the practice of sui zen. Join us at the Cultural Corner from 1:15 – 2:30pm for a shakuhachi performance by Hanzaburo\, Araki Kodō VI. The Araki Family has been playing and passing down the skills and traditions of Kinko-Ryu shakuhachi since the 19th century. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor six generations\, the Araki family has carried the Kodō name and its perspective on the tradition of Kinko-Ryū shakuhachi. Named for his great-great grandfather\, Hanzaburō\, or Hanz as he’s commonly known\, made his professional debut in 1988 in Shimonoseki\, Japan where he was given the name Baikyoku by his father\, Kodō Araki V. He attained the name Kodō at his father’s retirement ceremony in Tokyo in 2009. Hanz performed and taught in Japan until 1992 when he returned to the United States and shifted his focus almost entirely to performing. Notable appearances include The Newport Folk Festival\, The Vancouver Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections in Glasgow\, Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto\, The Gates Estate\, and was a featured soloist for The Seattle Symphony “Celebrate Asia” concert in 2013. He was also invited to perform and speak at the Interdependence Day Celebration in Mexico City and The Future of Music Coalition conference in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to his career in traditional Japanese music Hanz is a Juno Award-winning Irish flute and whistle player and singer. His most recent album of Irish music was recorded in his mother’s ancestral village of Dingle\, Co. Kerry with Lúnasa founding member Donogh Hennessy producing.\n\n\n\n\n

Photo by Naoko Fukumaru.\n\n\n\nWe've been very fortunate to have received some kind words from our guests who have visited the exhibition. Here are some of the highlights:\n\n\n\n"This exhibit has greatly helped me process the recent death of my baby girl\, who was stillborn on her due date. I have been struggling with feelings of grief\, worthlessness\, and feeling like a&nbsp\;bad mother. This exhibit brought tears to my eyes and helped me reach a higher level of self-acceptance and peace. Thank you infinitely!"\n\n\n\n"I was entranced by the additions the artist made to some of the mended articles. The kintsugi mended items from other cultures put the exhibit way over the top! They greatly expanded the message of the global need and possibility to create&nbsp\;wholeness and acceptance of difference\, and of what can be only partially mended. Simply the best garden experience ever."\n\n\n\n"This exhibit and the explanation about kintsugi has the positive effect of years of therapy! :)"\n\n\n\n"I came broken on a ride on the shuttle - fractured tibia\, knee fractures\, and recent pulmonary valve replacement - so this message spoke to me reverently!"\n\n\n\n"Staff member welcomed me as I entered\, oriented me to the gallery\, educated me on Kintsugi and met me as I moved through the exhibit\, adding to my enjoyment and understanding. As a result\, my life-perspective was enhanced. And I could relate my Zen Buddhist practice to the process of Kintsugi. With deep gratitude for Naoko Fukumaru\, many blessings and bows."\n\n\n\n"This was amazing. People need to understand how to apply kintsugi into their lives."\n\n\n\nNaoko Fukumaru in the process of creating her artwork.

SUMMARY:Kintsugi and the Nature of Mindfulness: A Fireside Chat
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nLecture with Artist Naoko Fukumaru\n\n\n\nIn celebration of the start of the exhibition&nbsp\;Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru\, join us for a fireside chat exploring the ways that the artform of kintsugi speaks to themes of healing\, everyday aesthetics\, and mindfulness. Kintsugi\, (pronounced keen-tsue-ghee) is the 500-year-old Japanese method of mending damaged ceramics so that imperfections are highlighted\, rather than hidden. In recent years\, this traditional restoration technique has gained worldwide attention as a poignant metaphor for healing and self-affirmation. Fukumaru’s work reflects both traditional kintsugi and the expressive power of kintsugi as an art form\, creating artworks that draw inspiration from the natural world as well as themes of renewal and liberation. As we collectively recover from a global pandemic and the stresses of daily life\, Portland Japanese Garden invites you to join us for this special conversation on mindfulness and aesthetics within the meditative&nbsp\;embrace of our Garden.\n\n\n\nNaoko Fukumaru in the process of creating her artwork. Photo by Naoko Fukumaru.\n\n\n\nArtist Naoko Fukumaru will be joined by Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art\, and Education Aki Nakanishi as well as Dr. Yuriko Saito\, Professor Emeritus at Rhode Island School of Design and author of "Everyday Aesthetics" among other volumes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They will explore the musical and philosophical themes of&nbsp\;Nisei&nbsp\;– Akiho’s first cello&nbsp\;concerto\, which will be&nbsp\;premiered by the Oregon Symphony&nbsp\;and Jeffrey Zeigler on October 5-7 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.\n\n\n\nThe title&nbsp\;Nisei&nbsp\;takes its name from the first generation of Japanese American children born in the United States. The piece was written by Akiho for Zeigler\, who are both half-Japanese. The&nbsp\;concerto&nbsp\;draws upon the two men’s diverse musical roots and shared cultural lineage: both Akiho and Zeigler have roots in South Carolina and have collaborated artistically for more than a decade. In the piece\, Akiho infuses the traditional chamber orchestra with a culmination of his many musical influences over the years: the rhythms of Trinidadian steel&nbsp\;pan orchestras and West African drum and dance ensembles\,&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;sounds&nbsp\;of the Japanese Koto\, the jazz solos of John Coltrane and Miles Davis\, and the bold sonic experiments of Zeigler himself. The&nbsp\;concerto&nbsp\;delivers a deeply personal examination of identity\, artistic voice\, and the collision of cultures that have shaped both Akiho and Zeigler’s lives. This recital and Q&amp\;A will speak to those same themes and influences.\n\n\n\nTo join the Oregon Symphony concert on October 5-7\, use promo code&nbsp\;NISEI25&nbsp\;for BOGO tickets and no handling fees.\n\n\n\n\n\nPerforming Artist Profiles\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Lecture: Katazome
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Octopus’s Garden by Karen Illman Miller. Photo courtesy of Ed Miller\n\n\n\nKatazome is a Japanese technique of dying fabrics or paper using a resist paste made of rice flour applied to fabric through a stencil. For 500 years\, Japanese kimono and textiles have been produced with paper stencils. Come hear Karen Illman Miller\, who has worked in the artform since 1994\, for an introduction to katazome from 1:15-2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n“Kata” means pattern\, and “zome” means to dye. Miller describes katazome\, Japanese stencil dying\, as “a process more like printmaking than painting.” She will discuss the history of the craft\, describe the tools and techniques used to make the stencils\, and explain how the stencils are used. She will also share examples of historic and modern textiles\, including her own work.\n\n\n\nArtist’s Biography - Karen Illman Miller\n\n\n\nKaren Miller was a marine biologist at Oregon State University and her art is often inspired by her scientific background. Her interest in textiles and Japan dates extends back to her childhood. In 1994\, she was introduced to katazome and carved her first stencil\, which was a turning point in her artistic life. She studied the craft with American katazome expert John Marshall. She began carving stencils using mostly traditional Japanese patterns. Now using her own hand-cut and personally designed stencils\, Miller produces fabric for art quilts\, silk garments\, linen hangings\, and indigo-dyed cottons. She is passionate about the patterns found in natural forms\, detailed biological images like tree branches\, leaf skeletons\, or marine animals\, and especially the abstractions nature produces.\n\n\n\nMiller’s work has been exhibited twice in Japan and\, numerous private and public collections\,. Her art was hung in the Washington D.C. office of Jane Lubchenco\, the head of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the first Obama administration. She has taught katazome nationally and internationally and has published several articles. She was featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat\, in October 2007.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Exploring Japan’s Best Kept Secrets | Volume 1 - Japanese Gardens
DESCRIPTION:\nFlat Garden at Portland Japanese Garden in Fall\n\n\n\nNote: Thank you to all who attended the first volume of this exciting collaboration with JapanCraft21. If you weren't able to attend\, you can watch the conversation in the video below.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vaz7qvw23k\n\n\n\n\nJapan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden invites you to deepen your knowledge of the aesthetic essence underlying Japanese art and craft. This three-part webinar series begins in October\, inviting Steve Beimel from JapanCraft21 to speak on the craftsmanship invested into Kyoto’s Japanese gardens. Continuing in November\, the webinar will dive deeper into Japanese aesthetics with a look at the nation’s remarkable crafts\, a rich and diverse output that has influenced several Japanese cultural pursuits\, including gardening. In December\, the series will wrap up by focusing on the artistry of everyday ceramic vessels that Japanese craftspeople make extraordinary.  \n\n\n\nThis opportunity to learn more about some of the finest and most highly-regarded Japanese gardens in the world arrives as Portland Japanese Garden enters a season of dazzling visuals: its revered fall colors and a new exhibition: &nbsp\;Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru. This show\, running September 28 through January 27\, 2025\, features master conservator and artist Naoko Fukumaru’s skilled work through the craft of kintsugi\, a 500-year-old Japanese method of beautifully restoring broken ceramics with lacquer and gold.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout JapanCraft21&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJapanCraft21 is an action-oriented\, Japan-based nonprofit organization working to reverse the rapid decline of traditional Japanese crafts. By identifying the issues artisans face and implementing solutions for the 21st century\, the organization promotes a tuition-free school to train young carpenters in advanced wood joinery\; an apprentice program that supports both aged master craftspeople and the young people aspiring to mastery\; and a nationwide contest that identifies the best and &nbsp\;brightest craftspeople\, awarding them substantial financial and promotional support as well as membership to their Craft Leader Program. JapanCraft21 Educational Outreach aims to raise awareness of the magnificence of Japan’s brilliant yet fragile cultural future through in-depth webinars offered in English to an international audience.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nSteve Beimel has worked in Japanese culture since the early 1970s and is a longtime resident of Japan who lives in the Kyoto foothills with his wife\, Ritsuko\, an ikebana instructor. Founding Esprit Travel &amp\; Tours in 1992\, he produced in-depth cultural tours of Japan. In 2018\, he founded the nonprofit organization\, JapanCraft21\, to save and revitalize Japanese Master Crafts. The organization started a school in Kyoto to teach joinery skills to young carpenters and focused on developing a program to support apprenticeships in vulnerable craft genres such as lacquer work\, textile arts\, and bamboo basketry. Today the organization holds national contests to provide ongoing support to craftspeople. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented by Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden in partnership with JapanCraft21.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Impressions of Autumn: The Colors of Autumn
DESCRIPTION:\nPresented by Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter\n\n\n\nA Heika Upright Style with millet\, chrysanthemums and peony leaves by Carolyn Alter. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 12th\, 2024 / 10:00am – 5:30pm*\n\n\n\nSunday\, October 13th\, 2024 / 10:00am – 5:00pm*\n\n\n\n*This show will also be open during Member Hours starting at 9:00am\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe stunning displays of brilliant reds and golds in autumn and ikebana arrangements have something in common\, they are both fleeting. Visit Portland Japanese Garden during our special two-day exhibition\, Impressions of Autumn: The Colors of Autumn. Over this October weekend\, you’ll be able to appreciate the beauty of both fall in the Garden and ikebana arrangements in the Yanai Classroom in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Learning Arts Center.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement.\n\n\n\nArtists from the Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter look forward to embracing the season and showcasing artistry that will complement the Garden’s atmosphere. They will use a variety of floral materials including trees\, shrubs\, flowers and grasses in the multitude of colors that make autumn such a beloved and beautiful time of year.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter\, states the artists seek to “bring the essence of nature into their arrangements.” On Saturday at 1:15pm\, she will present an&nbsp\;ikebana demonstration in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center as part of this show.\n\n\n\nAbout the Ohara School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for moribana\, which broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

Photo by Paula Zapata.\n\n\n\nIn this thought-provoking lecture hosted at Portland Japanese Garden\, global thought leader Lungi Morrison will explore the powerful role of Indigenous knowledge in driving social impact. Drawing on examples from the history of her native country\, South Africa\, contemporary Indigenous expressions\, and insights from the Japan Institute’s South Africa Peace Programming\, she will illuminate how culture\, art\, and nature can be harnessed to foster peace-making\, community-building\, and active citizenship. This lecture from the granddaughter of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate\, Archbishop Desmond Tutu\, offers a compelling vision of how inclusive dialogue and cultural exchange can contribute to creatively addressing contemporary social challenges.\n\n\n\nAbout Lungi Morrison\n\n\nLungi Morrison is a true hyphenate and polyglot passionate about building Africa's Creative Economy. Born in South Africa during the nation’s Apartheid era\, Lungi was raised in Ibadan Nigeria for a decade from the age of three. Her family spent brief periods in other Southern African states including Zimbabwe\, Lesotho and Botswana. A global citizen\, Morrison also spent time in London\, Oslo\, Brazil and San Francisco after leaving Auckland\, New Zealand where she spent her early adult life. Her academic qualifications include a master’s degree in social anthropology and sociology from the University of Auckland in New Zealand where she wrote a thesis in Indigenous Knowledge Systems.  Morrison also studied emerging markets and the BRICS economies through an executive development program at Harvard Business School. \n\n\nMorrison’s life's work is&nbsp\;encapsulated&nbsp\;by her&nbsp\;vision and belief in drawing from ancient modalities\,&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;vestiges of knowledge enshrined in African heritage\, practice and praxis pertinent to reimagining our shared humanity&nbsp\;-&nbsp\;a&nbsp\;world where peace and empathy become a collective lived experience.&nbsp\;This commitment Morrison underscores and seeks to embolden via&nbsp\;her newly established art advisory platform Ifé Consult –&nbsp\;www.ifeconsult.com.&nbsp\;She currently serves on the board of&nbsp\;Lalela&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;as&nbsp\;a sustainability consultant with the African Leadership Institute (AFLI)&nbsp\;Tutufellows&nbsp\;program.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStarting in April 2024\, Mindfulness Tours will be offered to members twice a month\, to increase the number of tours available for members. Reservations for all tours between April and December will be released on Wednesday\, March 13th at 7:00am PDT.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Reconciliation and Integration Through Art Kintsugi and Heart Maps
DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto courtesy of Prolongar Foundation\, Colombia\n\n\n\nExplore how art fosters reconciliation and social integration\, through a panel discussion featuring insights from three global visionary leaders—Maria Elisa Pinto-Garcia (Colombia)\, Lungi Morrison (South Africa)\, and Toc Soneoulay-Gillespie (Laos and Oregon). Through a close look at practical applications of the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics with gold\, kintsugi (金継ぎ)\, and the Heart Maps methodology of using dialogue and drawings to positively shift perspectives and stereotypes\, the conversation will highlight the transformative power of art and creativity to heal\, repair and reimagine aspects of our humanity that may otherwise be labeled as “broken”.\n\n\n\nAbout the Panelists:\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Moderator:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJapan Institute is the global cultural initiative of Portland Japanese Garden\, created to facilitate and inspire conversations about peace\, art\, and the human relationship with the natural world. Japan Institute’s programs convene thought leaders from numerous cultural\, intellectual\, and diplomatic fields to explore the evolving role of art\, cultural institutions\, and public spaces as platforms for peacebuilding and community engagement.\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible through a grant from the Japan World Exposition 1970 Commemorative Fund. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Sogetsu Portland Fall Show
DESCRIPTION:\nIkebana done by the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. Photo by Don Davidson.\n\n\n\nSaturday\, November 2nd\, 2024 / 10:00am – 4:30pm*\n\n\n\nSunday\, November 3rd\, 2024 / 10:00am – 4:00pm*\n\n\n\n*This show will also be open during Member Hours starting at 9:00am\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School of Ikebana believes ikebana can be practiced anytime\, anywhere\, by anyone. Local artists from the Sogetsu Portland Branch will create a wide range of styles from basic to abstract which use objects of sculptural intent and character. The three main elements designers use are line\, mass\, and color\, with an emphasis on the designer’s individual artistic expression and creativity. Visit the Garden to see how their arrangements both suit and enhance the Yanai Classroom in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, a Japanese artform\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n

In November\, the&nbsp\;second installment of this three-part webinar series invites Steve Beimel from JapanCraft21 to dive more deeply into Japanese aesthetics with a look at the nation’s remarkable crafts\, a rich and diverse output that has influenced several Japanese cultural pursuits\, including gardening. In December\, the series will wrap up by focusing on the artistry of everyday ceramic vessels that Japanese craftspeople make extraordinary. &nbsp\;The first part of this series\, held in October\, is focused on the craftsmanship invested into Kyoto’s Japanese gardens.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nA conversation on Japan’s captivating crafts pairs well with&nbsp\;Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru. This show\, running September 28 through January 27\, 2025\, features master conservator and artist Naoko Fukumaru’s skilled work through the craft of kintsugi\, a 500-year-old Japanese method of beautifully restoring broken ceramics with lacquer and gold.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout JapanCraft21&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJapanCraft21 is an action-oriented\, Japan-based nonprofit organization working to reverse the rapid decline of traditional Japanese crafts. By identifying the issues artisans face and implementing solutions for the 21st century\, the organization promotes a tuition-free school to train young carpenters in advanced wood joinery\; an apprentice program that supports both aged master craftspeople and the young people aspiring to mastery\; and a nationwide contest that identifies the best and &nbsp\;brightest craftspeople\, awarding them substantial financial and promotional support as well as membership to their Craft Leader Program. JapanCraft21 Educational Outreach aims to raise awareness of the magnificence of Japan’s brilliant yet fragile cultural future through in-depth webinars offered in English to an international audience.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolume 1 - Japanese Gardens\n\n\n\nOn October 11\, our webinar series began with Aki Nakanishi\, Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art\, and Education for Portland Japanese Garden and Japan Institute\, Steve Beimel from JapanCraft21 speaking on the craftsmanship invested into Kyoto’s Japanese gardens.

Founding Esprit Travel &amp\; Tours in 1992\, he produced in-depth cultural tours of Japan. In 2018\, he founded the nonprofit organization\, JapanCraft21\, to save and revitalize Japanese Master Crafts. The organization started a school in Kyoto to teach joinery skills to young carpenters and focused on developing a program to support apprenticeships in vulnerable craft genres such as lacquer work\, textile arts\, and bamboo basketry. Today the organization holds national contests to provide ongoing support to craftspeople. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented by Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden in partnership with JapanCraft21.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Modern Kintsugi Workshop with Emi Joyce
DESCRIPTION:\nRepaired ceramics\, photo courtesy of Emi Joyce\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is partnering with Emi Joyce\, a Portland-based kintsugi restorer and instructor\, to provide two modern kintsugi workshops on November 9. Kintsugi (金継ぎ\, gold joinery) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. In this centuries-old practice\, fractures transform from hidden weak points into beautiful golden elements worth celebrating. The philosophy of kintsugi teaches us to embrace imperfections in our life and appreciate the beauty of human flaws. While the traditional method used by experts is challenging and requires cautious handling of materials like urushi lacquer\, the “modern” kintsugi method uses accessible materials and is ideal for beginners. The Garden is thrilled to offer this opportunity for its guests to get hands-on experience with this beloved artform as it simultaneously presents its final art exhibition of 2024\, Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru.\n\n\n\nParticipants can register for the morning session (9:30am – 12:30pm) or the afternoon session (1:30pm – 4:30pm). Each workshop will include three hours of instruction. Participation is limited to 12 students for each session. Beginners are welcome.\n\n\n\nAll supplies will be provided as part of the price of admission to this workshop\, including a broken ceramic bowl. Please bring a cardboard box or something similar that will allow you to carry your items home without touching the repaired parts. Please also note that the ceramic vessel you will be repairing is not food safe—it is intended for display only.\n\n\n\nNOTE: Participants are also welcome to bring a couple of damaged glazed ceramics\, but please review the following guidelines:\n\n\n\n\nThe item must be 10 inches or smaller.\n\n\n\nThe material must be ceramic or porcelain.\n\n\n\nPlease do not bring glass\, wood\, damaged family heirlooms\, or items broken into more than four pieces.\n\n\n\nChips must be half an inch or less. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emi Joyce:\n\n\n\nPhoto of Emi Joyce\, taken by Alexandra Hughes\n\n\n\nEmi Joyce\, formerly a full-time bench jeweler and apparel designer\, is currently a kintsugi restorer and instructor\, repairing hundreds of broken ceramics and regularly teaching kintsugi in Portland\, Oregon. Her lifelong craftsmanship and knowledge of fine motor skills moved on to repair ceramics. Instead of creating new products\, Joyce loves mending damaged\, but precious objects to give them new life.

It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a special musical performance featuring shinobue flute and piano by Maido Mind. This performance will also feature a special guest visiting from Japan\, as well as members of Bachido\, an international Shamisen community founded by Kyle Abbott. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:30pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

Guests will also have the opportunity to learn more about Go\, a game that is believed to have been played in Japan since the Nara Period (710-794).\n\n\n\nGo is an ancient board game which takes minutes to learn the rules and a lifetime to master the strategies. The game’s equipment includes a wooden board marked with a 19x19 grid\, black stones\, and white stones. The object of the game is to surround the largest area and avoid being surrounded. Many players see Go as an analogy for life\, an exercise in abstract thinking\, or a beautiful art in which black and white dance in a delicate balance across the board.\n\n\n\nVisitors to the Garden will be able to quietly observe the tournament games in progress in the Yanai Classroom. Anybody curious about Go can come to the public presentations by Stewart Towle of Portland Go Club to learn about the origins and cultural history of Go and learn to play this 5000-year-old game of skill.\n\n\n\nAbout the Portland Go Club\n\n\n\nThe Portland Go Club is the official Portland chapter of the AGA (American Go Association). They meet to play and discuss the game of Go. Players of any level or those interested in becoming players are welcome to attend their events\, which include weekly meetings where that feature casual games and discussions of strategy. \n\n\n\nTournament play at Portland Japanese Garden in 2022.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tea Ceremony Workshop: Learn the Role of a Guest with Jan Waldmann
DESCRIPTION:\nJan Waldmann\, Sosui  \n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden's Tea Ceremony Workshop offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditional practice of Chanoyu\, or the Way of Tea. Experience the art of tranquility\, mindfulness\, and omotenashi\, whole-hearted hospitality.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIt is not an exaggeration to say that through tea\, one can understand much of Japanese culture. Tea’s influence can be found in many of the nation’s most beloved artforms\, including&nbsp\; arranging flowers\, calligraphy\, incense\, ceramics and lacquerware. Japanese gardens are also deeply intertwined with tea ceremony. The four principles of tea\, wa (harmony)\, kei (respect)\, sei (purity)\, and jaku (tranquility)\, are explored by the gardeners of Portland Japanese Garden in their work every day.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nGuided by skilled instructor Jan Waldmann\, Sosui\, the focus of this workshop is to learn to be a guest in the tea ceremony\, an important aspect to this historic tradition. Participants will learn the proper etiquette for attending a tea ceremony\, including how to receive and take sweets and matcha\, and most importantly\, the reasons behind each of the steps. Additionally\, you will gain insight into what it entails to be a host— understanding the occasion and seasonality\, attention to aesthetics\, careful preparation\, and the thoughtful gestures made toward the guests.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nParticipants will first attend a presentation of tea ceremony in our Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner alongside visitors to the Garden (2-2:30pm) before they are taken into their exclusive workshop in the Yanai Classroom (2:45-4:15pm). No previous experience is needed. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Jan Waldmann\, Sosui\n\n\n\nJan Waldmann. Photo by Aaron Lee.\n\n\n\nJan Waldmann began the study of Chado\, the Way of Tea in 1971\, while living in Japan. Over the years\, she studied in both Japan and America\, receiving her teaching degree from Urasenke Foundation in Kyoto\, Japan\, in 1989. She specializes in blending the traditional philosophy and movements of Chado with contemporary views of the Ceremony itself. Jan is the President of the Urasenke Wakai Tankokai Association and is currently teaching the Way of Tea privately as well as at Lewis &amp\; Clark College.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout Urasenke\n\n\n\nUrasenke Konnichian of Kyoto is one of the major establishments within Japan that has preserved the tradition of Chado or the Way of Tea.  From the first Urasenke generation\, Sen no Rikyu (1522-91) to the current headmaster Zabosai Genmoku Soshitsu XVI (b.1956 -)\, the Sen family lineage has devoted great effort to fostering the philosophy of Tea through the simple words of Wa - Harmony\, Kei -Repect\, Sei - Purity &amp\; Jaku - Tranquility. Over the years Urasenke has established connections in over 21 cities worldwide.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Yukizuri Create Winter Scenery
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThis winter\, visitors to Portland Japanese Garden will experience a rare and beautiful addition not seen on the grounds since the 1980s: yukizuri (sometimes transliterated as “yukitsuri”). Yukizuri (雪吊り) are aesthetically pleasing support systems designed to protect and prepare trees for winter. The word yuki means “snow” and zuri or tsuri means “lifting\,” and the technique involves casting straw ropes down from a central pole\, resembling the frame of an umbrella. These ropes are tied to branches to help lift them\, ensuring they can withstand heavy snowfall or frost.\n\n\n\nYukizuri in the Flat Garden. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nInstallation of Yukizuri\n\n\n\nWari-bochi are the woven straw covers at the very top of the pole. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\n\nYukizuri have been installed in two locations this year. Trees in the Flat Garden\, including its weeping cherry and maples\, feature yukizuri with ropes tied to spikes driven into the raked gravel. In the Cultural Village\, ropes will be tied directly to tree limbs. While Portland’s typical winters don’t bring the heavy snowfall seen in Japan\, these additions serve as an aesthetic touch\, showcasing the craftsmanship and cultural traditions of Japanese gardens. The Garden’s rice straw ropes\, reminiscent of shimenawa\, are favored in Kanazawa and used in Shinto rituals. These ropes symbolize the border of sacred spaces and act as a ward against evil spirits. \n\n\n\nHistorical Significance\n\n\n\nYukizuri was first introduced to Portland Japanese Garden during the tenure of Garden Director Kichiro Sano (1982-84). Sano\, inspired by the heavy snows of his hometown Kanazawa\, brought this feature to Portland as a focal point for winter\, even aligning the initial installation with the 1984 Winter Olympics.\n\n\n\nYukizuri in the 1980s. Photo by William "Robbie" Robinson.\n\n\n\nOther Winter Preparations\n\n\n\nJoining yukizuri this winter will be komo-maki and shiki-matsuba:\n\n\n\n\nKomo-maki are straw mats gently wrapped around tree trunks with straw rope to prevent insects from reaching tree roots.\n\n\n\nShiki-matsuba are coverings of dried pine needles placed on moss to protect it from frost.\n\n\n\n\nThese winter preparations reflect the concept of tei-en no fuyu-jitaku (庭園の冬支度)\, or “garden’s winter preparation\,” ensuring plants are protected and cared for during the colder months.\n\n\n\nShiki-matsuba in the Flat Garden. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.Komo-maki on red pine in the Cultural Village. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nVisit Us This Winter\n\n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to see the rare beauty of yukizuri\, along with other traditional winter touches\, at Portland Japanese Garden. These features are available to view throughout the winter season into early March.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with CEO Steve Bloom
DESCRIPTION:\nFeaturing Special Guest: Dorie Vollum\, Trustee at Portland Japanese Garden&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nDorie Vollum and Steve Bloom\, October 2024. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nJoin us for a fireside chat with Steve Bloom for his final public event as CEO\, as he reflects on more than 30 years of service to his community.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFireside chat session information (identical sessions):\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: 1:00-2:15pm\n\n\n\nSession 2: 3:00-4:15pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince his hiring in 2005\, Bloom has dramatically transformed the organization from a humble\, local garden that hosted infrequent programming into an internationally renowned garden and preeminent cultural institution. His efforts include the Cultural Crossing Expansion Project (which expanded the Garden from 5.5 to 12.5 acres) and the establishment of a curatorial department to improve and strengthen the Garden’s physical landscape as well as host world-class programming and events. In 2022\, he led the creation of Japan Institute\, a global cultural initiative and sibling organization that has connected Portland with visionaries across every continent in the fields of gardening\, art\, design\, and diplomacy. In recognition for his work\, Bloom has been the recipient of several honors\, including the Foreign Minister’s Commendations from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. \n\n\n\nRelated: Read more about Steve Bloom's 20 years of leadership at Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nAlongside Bloom will be special guest Dorie Vollum\, his dear friend and a member of the Garden’s Board of Trustees. As Bloom prepares to retire in January\, don’t miss this rare opportunity to journey through the stories\, wisdom\, and legacy of a leader who has left an indelible mark on Portland Japanese Garden and beyond.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Steve Bloom&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSteve Bloom has led Portland Japanese Garden as CEO since 2005 and has transformed not only the landscape of Portland but the international field of Japanese gardens and the global conversation around the art and importance of cultural diplomacy. Bloom’s visionary approach promotes the belief that at the intersection of the built\, natural\, intellectual\, and creative environments\, humanity can achieve better mutual understanding. Through the creation of Portland Japanese Garden’s curatorial department –which oversees more than 200 events annually and has kept its grounds in world-class condition – Bloom has proven that cultural landscapes can be a platform that use art\, design\, nature\, dialogue\, diplomacy\, and knowledge to evolve societal attitudes and tolerances towards a more peaceful world.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTo read his full bio\, click here.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout Dorie Vollum&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nDorie Vollum has served on the Board of Trustees of Portland Japanese Garden since 2010\, serving as both Board President (2017-18) and Co-Chair along with her husband\, Larry\, for the $37m Cultural Crossing Capital Campaign. Vollum returned to the organization’s Board of Trustees in May of 2021 and currently serves as the Co-Chair of its Fundraising Committee.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nVollum is a dedicated advocate and supporter of artists and the arts.&nbsp\; She was a member of the Board of Trustees for the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA) for 12 years. Additionally\, Vollum served as a member of the Regional Art and Culture Council’s Public Art Advisory Committee\, overseeing the acquisition and installation of both permanent and temporary artworks for the City of Portland’s collection. She has served as an advisor on numerous projects for the Portland Department of Transportation (PDOT). Vollum is currently a member of the advisory committee that is commissioning art for the Port of Portland’s renovation and expansion of the Portland International Airport.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n

If you weren’t able to attend\, you can watch the conversation in the video below:\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2lrCWkgWT0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJapan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden invites you to deepen your knowledge of the aesthetic essence underlying Japanese art and craft. In December\, the third and final installment of this three-part webinar series invites Steve Beimel from JapanCraft21 to speak on the artistry of everyday ceramic vessels that Japanese craftspeople make extraordinary. The first part of this series\, held in October\, is focused on the craftsmanship invested into Kyoto’s Japanese gardens. The second installment\, held in November\, looks more deeply at Japanese aesthetics through the nation’s crafts.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nBorn from earth and fire\, the ceramic arts encapsulate many of the aesthetic principles discussed throughout the series and correspond with &nbsp\;Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru. This show\, running September 28 through January 27\, 2025\, features master conservator and artist Naoko Fukumaru’s skilled work through the craft of kintsugi\, a 500-year-old Japanese method of beautifully restoring broken ceramics with lacquer and gold.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout JapanCraft21&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJapanCraft21 is an action-oriented\, Japan-based nonprofit organization working to reverse the rapid decline of traditional Japanese crafts. By identifying the issues artisans face and implementing solutions for the 21st century\, the organization promotes a tuition-free school to train young carpenters in advanced wood joinery\; an apprentice program that supports both aged master craftspeople and the young people aspiring to mastery\; and a nationwide contest that identifies the best and &nbsp\;brightest craftspeople\, awarding them substantial financial and promotional support as well as membership to their Craft Leader Program. JapanCraft21 Educational Outreach aims to raise awareness of the magnificence of Japan’s brilliant yet fragile cultural future through in-depth webinars offered in English to an international audience.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nSteve Beimel has worked in Japanese culture since the early 1970s and is a longtime resident of Japan who lives in the Kyoto foothills with his wife\, Ritsuko\, an ikebana instructor. Founding Esprit Travel &amp\; Tours in 1992\, he produced in-depth cultural tours of Japan. In 2018\, he founded the nonprofit organization\, JapanCraft21\, to save and revitalize Japanese Master Crafts. The organization started a school in Kyoto to teach joinery skills to young carpenters and focused on developing a program to support apprenticeships in vulnerable craft genres such as lacquer work\, textile arts\, and bamboo basketry. Today the organization holds national contests to provide ongoing support to craftspeople. \n\n\n\nPrevious Installments\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented by Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden in partnership with JapanCraft21.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Taiko Drum by Taiyo Onoda\, member of Kodo
DESCRIPTION:\nTaiyo Onoda during a Kodo performance. Photo courtesy of Maiko Miyagawa\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free family-friendly taiko drum performance by Taiyo Onoda\, a member of the famed taiko group\, Kodō\, based in Sado Island\, Japan. Come and experience the soul-stirring rhythm\, unique sound\, resonance\, and physicality of a taiko performance from 1:15 to 2:30pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout Kodo\n\n\n\nThe taiko: a traditional Japanese drum with limitless rhythmic possibilities. Kodo’s mission is to explore these possibilities\, and in the process forge new directions for a vibrant living art-form. In Japanese\, the word “Kodo” holds a double meaning. It can be translated as “heartbeat\,” the primal source of all rhythm. Indeed\, the great taiko is thought to be reminiscent of a mother’s heartbeat as felt from the womb\, and babies are often lulled to sleep by its thunderous vibrations. If read in a different context however\, Kodo can also mean “children of the drum\,” which reflects the group’s desire to play the drums with the simple heart of a child.\n\n\n\nSince the group’s debut at Berliner Festspiele in 1981\, Kodo has given over 7\,000 performances in more than 50 countries and regions on five continents. In 2001\, members of Kodo became the first Japanese artists to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo\, Norway. This figure includes 4\,200 performances under the “One Earth” banner\, a theme that embodies Kodo’s desire to transcend language and cultural boundaries\, all while reminding their audiences of the common bonds we all share as human beings.\n\n\n\nAbout Taiyo Onoda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaiyo Onoda\, who was born in San Francisco\, started playing taiko in the USA when he was eight years old. He entered the Kodō Apprentice Centre in 2016 and became a Kodō Member in 2019. On stage\, Onoda is mainly featured on taiko drums. Earnest by nature\, he tackles every role with determination\, steadily gaining trust as he rises to each new challenge. Before moving to Japan to join Kodō\, Onoda majored in Food Science and Technology and Japanese at University of California\, Davis. Performing with Kodo is physically demanding\, so his cooking skills and knowledge about nutrition are great assets\, helping him look after himself and his colleagues. Onoda dreams of giving back to the North American taiko community through his work with Kodō\, hoping his activities will invigorate and inspire the people who raised him.\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, he has been working on video content creation around his performance activities\, editing and subtitling performance and educational videos. He has also taken on teaching and interpreting roles at Kodō Taiko School\, facilitating bilingual group lessons online that bring the international taiko community together to learn the spirit\, physique\, and technique that Kodō has cultivated to date.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto and Storytelling by Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. In this family-friendly performance\,  Oregon Koto-Kai members will also tell a story accompanied by koto music. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

The SamaZama Duo combines the esoteric nature of traditional and contemporary Japanese music with tango\, jazz\, blues and western classical music\, blending the instruments and music of Eastern and Western cultures in a moving and uncommon musical synthesis.

She also enjoys collaborating with various western musical instruments to explore a wide range of musical genres\, from jazz and tango\, to western classical compositions by Bach and Mozart. Masumi has participated in many recordings of Pink Martini\, and has performed with the band at various venues around the world\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. She also directs the koto club at Willamette University and teaches Japanese language and culture at Chemeketa Community College.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto and Storytelling by Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. In this family-friendly performance\, performers will tell a traditional New Year's themed Japanese story (Kasa Jizō) accompanied by koto music.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Engi no Ii Mono (Auspicious Items) in Ikebana for the New Year
DESCRIPTION:\nKadomatsu displays include auspicious items such as pine branches which symbolize longevity.\n\n\n\nCome celebrate the harmony of nature and Japanese tradition through the art of ikebana.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “the way of flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for a New Year’s focused ikebana presentation on auspicious items in ikebana by Rumiko Fadden and David Komeiji of the Saga Goryu Ikebana North American Branch in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nIn Japanese culture\, the concept of "engi no ii mono" (縁起のいいもの) refers to items or symbols believed to bring good fortune\, happiness\, or positive outcomes. These items have deep cultural and spiritual significance and are often incorporated into seasonal traditions\, festivals\, and artistic expressions like ikebana. By incorporating these auspicious elements into an ikebana arrangement\, we connect with traditional values and invite blessings into our lives.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Saga Goryu\n\n\n\nThe Saga Goryu School of Ikebana\, headquartered at Daikakuji Temple in Kyoto\, was founded more than 1\,200 years ago by Emperor Saga. It continues to draw on its traditional philosophical and spiritual foundations to interpret the modern world through floral artistry.\n

During this performance\, the shishi (lion) will go into the audience and gently bite people’s heads to offer good luck for the rest of the year. It is common in Japan to see audiences waving bills of money to attract the shishi to come in their direction. Shishimai is typically performed during New Year’s celebrations\, weddings\, company functions\, parties\, and other festive occasions.\n\n\n\n11:30 AM: Performance of Ryomen Odori (double-masked dance) (Miller Living Room)\n\n\n\nThe male mask of Ryomen Odori. Photo Courtesy of Zemekiss Photography\n\n\n\nRyomen Odori is the traditional double-mask dance. It features two cheerful characters portrayed by one dancer. The female mask is called Okame\, a famous Japanese character with a round face\, small nose\, and puffy cheeks. The male mask is called Warai\, meaning laughter\, and provides a comedic element to the performance.\n\n\n\nAbout Portland Shishimai Kai\n\n\n\nPortland Shishimai Kai is a group dedicated to performing and teaching the traditional celebratory lion dance of Tokyo\, the Edo Kotobuki Jishi. The group also performs Edo Bayashi (traditional festival music of Tokyo) and the Ryomen Odori (double-masked dance). Under the close mentorship of Kyosuke Suzuki of Wakayama Shachu\, we aim to preserve its history and culture by offering good luck to businesses\, organizations\, and anyone who celebrates in the presence of the shishi. Membership to the Portland Shishimai Kai is open to anyone interested in helping to introduce and deepen appreciation of this art form to a wider audience.\n\n\n\nAbout Eien Hunter-Ishikawa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEien Hunter-Ishikawa is a musician based in Portland\, Oregon and is the founder of Portland Shishimai Kai. Eien started learning Edo Kotobuki Jishi in 2001 under the instruction of Kenny Endo\, continuing on to study with Kyosuke Suzuki\, a longtime member of Wakayama Shachu (Nationally Designated Important Intangible Cultural Asset of Folk Arts).

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\nA close-up shot capturing Mitsuki Dazai in the midst of a captivating Koto performance. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Mitsuki Dazai&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Mitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s prestigious Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with the world-renowned virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her certificate in koto instruction at Sawai Koto Institute. Dazai moved to Oregon in 2002\, serving as a guest lecturer at universities in Oregon\, as an artistic director of new koto ensemble group\, Oregon Koto-Kai (Japanese Koto Society of Oregon)\, and touring throughout the US\, Europe\, South America and Japan.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai performing in the Pavilion during the Garden’s annual Moonviewing Festival. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007)\, and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) in collaboration with Grammy nominated composer Michael Hoppe. Her artistry is also featured on the album&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Composer\, Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she was invited to 21C Music Festival in Toronto\, Canada\, and played with Continuum Contemporary Music.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n

SUMMARY:Modern Kintsugi Workshop with Emi Joyce
DESCRIPTION:\nRepaired ceramics\, photo courtesy of Emi Joyce\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is partnering with Emi Joyce\, a Portland-based kintsugi restorer and instructor\, to provide two modern kintsugi workshops on September 21\, 2025. Kintsugi (金継ぎ\, gold joinery) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. In this centuries-old practice\, fractures transform from hidden weak points into beautiful golden elements worth celebrating. The philosophy of kintsugi teaches us to embrace imperfections in our life and appreciate the beauty of human flaws. While the traditional method used by experts is challenging and requires cautious handling of materials like urushi lacquer\, the “modern” kintsugi method uses accessible materials and is ideal for beginners.\n\n\n\nParticipants can register for the morning session (9:30am – 12:30pm) or the afternoon session (1:30pm – 4:30pm). Each workshop will include three hours of instruction. Participation is limited to 12 students for each session. Beginners are welcome.\n\n\n\nAll supplies will be provided as part of the price of admission to this workshop\, including a broken ceramic bowl. Please bring a cardboard box or something similar that will allow you to carry your items home without touching the repaired parts. Please also note that the ceramic vessel you will be repairing is not food safe—it is intended for display only.\n\n\n\nNOTE: Participants are also welcome to bring a couple of damaged glazed ceramics\, but please review the following guidelines:\n\n\n\n\nThe item must be 10 inches or smaller.\n\n\n\nThe material must be ceramic or porcelain.\n\n\n\nPlease do not bring glass\, wood\, damaged family heirlooms\, or items broken into more than four pieces.\n\n\n\nChips must be half an inch or less. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emi Joyce:\n\n\n\nPhoto of Emi Joyce\, taken by Alexandra Hughes\n\n\n\nEmi Joyce\, formerly a full-time bench jeweler and apparel designer\, is currently a kintsugi restorer and instructor\, repairing hundreds of broken ceramics and regularly teaching kintsugi in Portland\, Oregon. Her lifelong craftsmanship and knowledge of fine motor skills moved on to repair ceramics. Instead of creating new products\, Joyce loves mending damaged\, but precious objects to give them new life. In 2010\, her pursuits in textile education\, a fine jewelry career\, and experimental music scenes eventually led her to leave her birthplace of Tokyo\, Japan to settle in Portland\, Oregon\, where greater access to nature changed her life. You can learn more about Joyce’s kintsugi work on her Instagram: @modernkintsugirepairpdx.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Golden Crane Society Opening Reception for Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin Portland Japanese Garden in celebrating the opening reception of&nbsp\;Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen\, the Garden’s first exhibition of 2025.\n\n\n\nThis event is only available to those in our Golden Crane Recognition Society. Please RSVP to Melissa Tenorio by January 31st\, 2025. You can do so by calling (503) 542-9307\, or emailing developmentrsvp@japanesegarden.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReception Details\n\n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, February 7\n\n\n\nTime: 5:30-8:00pm\n\n\n\nLocation: Pavilion Gallery at Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nDetails: Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition\n\n\n\n\nArtwork by Jun Isezaki\, 2007. Photo by Chris Cassidy.\n\n\n\nArtwork by Masahiro Miyao\, 2005. Photo by Chris Cassidy.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nThis February\, Portland Japanese Garden is pleased to present&nbsp\;Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen&nbsp\;in the Pavilion Gallery.&nbsp\;On loan from the Collection of David Sneider and Naomi Pollock\,&nbsp\;this exhibition celebrates contemporary ceramic art and vessels that preserve a time-honored collaboration of earth\, fire\, and the artist’s hand. Recognized as one of the&nbsp\;Rokkoyō&nbsp\;(六古窯) Six Ancient Kilns of Japan\, Bizen is a ceramic center that has continued its unique form of pottery for over 900 years. Notable for their rustic\, textured\, and unglazed forms\, the ceramics featured in&nbsp\;Earthen Elegance&nbsp\;reveal the depths of the Bizen pottery tradition. Today the town of Bizen hosts nearly 300 active kilns with artists continuing to use local materials and an ancient wood-firing process. Featuring work by many of Bizen’s leading potters including Jun Isezaki and Ryuichi Kakurezaki\, the exhibition presents both functional vessels and innovative sculptural forms that expand the frontier of Bizen ware.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout the collection:\n\n\n\nDavid Sneider\, an international lawyer\, and Naomi Pollock\, an architect and author\, lived and worked in Japan for 30 years. Deeply moved by the artistry and craftsmanship of Japanese pottery\, they assembled an extensive collection which spans the full horizon of contemporary Japanese ceramics.&nbsp\; Within Bizen ceramics\, they marvel at how a particularly large number of innovative artists are applying local materials and time-honored techniques to create work that respects tradition and yet is truly modern.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPollock has written numerous books on Japanese architecture and design\, including her most recent books&nbsp\;Japanese Design Since 1945: A Complete Sourcebook&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;The Japanese House Since 1945. For these collectors\, the rough\, powerful\, and unglazed surface of Bizen pottery resonates with the natural setting of a Japanese garden\, especially as the warm\, earthen tones on the vessels’ surfaces create an inviting contrast to the colder winter months. Showcasing these unique expressions in clay born from centuries of tradition\,&nbsp\;Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen&nbsp\;will be on display from February 8\, 2025 – June 9\, 2025.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout Nana Bellerud\n\n\n\nNana Goto Bellerud has been studying the Sogetsu School of ikebana since 2005 and continues to be inspired and have new insights from its teachings.  Nana demonstrates\, exhibits\, and teaches ikebana at a wide range of venues including the Portland Art Museum\, Portland and Gresham Japanese Gardens\, various garden clubs\, and schools.  Through her demonstrations and workshops\, she seeks to introduce others to the art of ikebana and to intrigue and inspire them.  Beyond simply producing a beautiful work of art with flowers and natural objects\, she shows her audience how ikebana explores artistic concepts such as balance\, contrast\, and negative space.  Nana has been creating and posting daily ikebana on Instagram (nana_bellerud) and actively teaching via live interactive video since the pandemic hit.  \n\n\n\nNana holds Master of Arts degrees in Political Science and Agribusiness Management from Mississippi State University and has taught Japanese Culture at Mt. Hood Community College.  Nana is currently serving as President of Ikebana International Portland Chapter #47 and Branch Director of Sogetsu Portland.  She is also a member of the Ikebana Iwaya Fund Board of Directors. Nana also enjoys Haiku and Tanka (Japanese short poems like Haiku but a little longer) and trains in race walking.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n

Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Winter Ikebana Workshop Series with Carolyn Alter\, Ohara School
DESCRIPTION:\nA Heika Upright Style with millet\, chrysanthemums and peony leaves by Carolyn Alter. \n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter\, will bring the beauty of kado (the way of flowers) to Portland Japanese Garden this winter by teaching a workshop series consisting of four sessions. Students will receive a creative outlet\, a respite from the fast speed of life\, as well as the chance to connect with nature\, nurture their spirit\, and learn about an aspect of Japanese culture.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangements. Workshop instructor Carolyn Alter will teach students how to “bring the essence of nature into their arrangements.” Participants will learn beginner Hana Isho (flower design) in the Ohara School method and based on the curriculum set forth by the Ohara School of Ikebana. Each session will include both demonstrations by Carolyn and hands-on time for the students to create.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first session will focus on the basic principles of ikebana\; its history\, reasons to study ikebana\, the aesthetics of ikebana design\, and the mechanics of arrangement. The instructor will guide students through each phase with a demonstration and then hands-on time to create. The subsequent three sessions will build on the basic principles\, where students will review the Rising Form and Ohyo variations using different materials.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIkebana Study Course Schedule:\n\n\n\nThere are 4 sessions total. Each session is available for morning or afternoon. Students will receive 9 hours of instruction per series.\n\n\n\nMorning session option:\n\n\n\nSession 1: Thursday\, February 13\, 2025\, 9 am – noon - POSTPONEDSession 1: Thursday\, February 27\, 2025\, 9am – noonSession 2: Thursday\, March 6\, 2025\, 10am – noonSession 3: Thursday\, March 20\, 2025\, 10am – noonSession 4: Thursday\, April 3\, 2025\, 10am – noon\n\n\n\nAfternoon session option:\n\n\n\nSession 1: Thursday\, February 13\, 2025\, 1pm – 4 pm - POSTPONEDSession 1: Thursday\, February 27\, 2025\, 1pm – 4pmSession 2: Thursday\, March 6\, 2025\, 1pm – 3pmSession 3: Thursday\, March 20\, 2025\, 1pm – 3pmSession 4: Thursday\, April 3\, 2025\, 1pm – 3pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:\n\n\n\nYanai Classroom\, Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPricing:\n\n\n\nWorkshop Series\n\n\n\nMembers: $300 | Non-Members: $375Participation is limited to 15 students per session.All tools and materials are included in the workshop fee.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Carolyn Alter:\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter began studying in the Ohara School of Ikebana under Sensei Kitty (Natsue) Akre in 1993. She began teaching weekly classes and founded Wednesday’s Flowers in 2012. She is a long-time member of Portland Japanese Garden\, Ikebana International and the North American Ohara Teachers Association. She has attended numerous ikebana conferences in the US and taken classes in Japan\, chaired many exhibitions\, given numerous demonstrations\, and is certified as an Associate First Term Master of the Ohara School of Ikebana. She is also the Head Teacher and Treasurer of the Oregon Chapter of the Ohara School. As a retired physical therapist\, she appreciates the healing aspects of nature through practicing ikebana. She loves being outdoors\, gardening\, and the beauty of Japanese culture.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Ohara School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials’ individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for moribana\, which broke with more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback from past students:\n\n\n\nIt was a wonderfully supportive introduction in a gorgeous setting\, with high quality instruction and materials.\n\n\n\nGreat class. Carolyn’s so good at explanation and encouragement.\n\n\n\nGreat introduction to basic forms\, with increasing challenges along the way.\n\n\n\nI didn’t know anything about ikebana prior to this class\, and I learned so much.\n\n\n\nI appreciated the history in the first class. The approach in the class was great -&nbsp\; demonstration\, action\, correction.\n\n\n\nI’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time and I am so grateful that the PJG is offering it!\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

Paper or straw&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition\, called&nbsp\;nagashi bina\, still takes place in some regions in Japan.\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\,&nbsp\;the dolls are passed down from previous generations.&nbsp\; \n\n\n\nThe five court musicians. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Hina Matsuri\, Doll’s Day
DESCRIPTION:\nThe top tier of a hina doll display features the Emperor and the Empress while the following tiers hold their imperial attendants. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3rd to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. In Japan\, families with daughters mark the festival by displaying intricately crafted hina dolls dressed in ornate costumes several days before the festival. Visitors can view and take photos with a traditional display of hina dolls that were generously donated by the Dozono Family. Located in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center\, the seven-tiered display represents the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court.\n\n\n\nMarch 3 is also called Momo-no-Sekku\, or Peach Blossom Festival\, because according to the lunar calendar peach blossoms were in full bloom on this day. It was also believed that peach blossoms had the power to drive away evil spirits. At Portland Japanese Garden\, like many families in Japan\, we display sprigs of peach blossoms together with hina dolls.&nbsp\;An ikebana arrangement by Carolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter\, featuring peach blossoms will accompany the display.\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter assists a student at a previous ikebana workshop.\n\n\n\nFestival visitors may sign up to participate in an ikebana class for children\, learning the fundamental foundations of ikebana and creating their very own arrangement to take home.

Paper or straw&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition\, called&nbsp\;nagashi bina\, still takes place in some regions in Japan.\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\,&nbsp\;the dolls are passed down from previous generations.&nbsp\; \n\n\n\nHina dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds the two imperial dolls. The Emperor holds a ritual baton and the Empress a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin bayashi) each holding a musical instrument\, except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin and sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces.\n\n\n\nThe five court musicians. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade of Maido Mind.\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto Harp\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto harp is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\nIkebana Arrangement by Miwa Satoh with the Ohara School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by&nbsp\;Miwa Satoh from the Ohara School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\nMiwa Satoh obtained her teacher’s qualification from the Ohara school in Japan in 2000. After that\, she took a break from her Ikebana practice to study in the United States. Once her family life was settled\, she resumed her practice in 2017. She currently teaches in Vancouver\, Washington while studying under an assistant professor based in Japan. She belongs to the Ohara School Northern California chapter in the US\, and the Kurume chapter in Japan. \n\n\n\nAbout Ohara School\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials’ individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for&nbsp\;moribana\, which broke with more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Natural Patterns: Katazome Stencil Dyeing
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nExperience a range of nature-inspired artwork as diverse as the ecology of the Pacific Northwest itself!\n\n\n\nPrimarily used for elaborate patterns on kimono and yukata\, katazome is a method of using exquisitely cut paper stencils and resist paste to dye fabrics. Today\, katazome-created designs can be stand-alone art pieces\, or are often found on noren curtains\, futon covers\, and furoshiki gift wraps.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nRelated: Learn more about the exhibiting artist\, Karen Illman Miller\n\n\n\nLocal Oregon artist\, Karen Illman Miller\, has practiced katazome for the past 30 years\, infusing her designs with inspiration from the natural world and drawing from her background as a marine biologist. The Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery will host Miller’s extraordinary art\, which fuses traditional Japanese dyeing with our local landscape. The hallway&nbsp\;located just outside of the Yanai Family Classroom will feature a selection of antique katazome stencils collected by Miller throughout her artistic career.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nRelated: Discover the process that goes into making this stunning artwork\n\n\n\nFrom March 29th through June 5th\, the Tanabe Gallery will feature katazome artwork featuring flora and fauna of the Oregon landscape\, including many plants found within Portland Japanese Garden itself. Starting June 7th\, the second half of the exhibition will explore the rich tapestry of ocean life.\n\n\n\nRead Karen Illman Miller's artist bio and artist statement on the Artist Talk Event Page.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Opening Day Artist Talk: Karen Illman Miller’s Katazome
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the fascinating art of katazome at this special talk by Corvallis-based artist Karen Miller\, in celebration of the opening of Natural Patterns: Katazome Stencil Dyeing in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery. Miller\, whose artwork will be featured in this exhibition\, has practiced katazome for the past 30 years. She infuses her designs with inspiration from the natural world and drawing from her background as a marine biologist.\n\n\n\nAbout Karen Illman Miller\n\n\n\nArtist Biography\n\n\n\nKaren Miller was a marine biologist at Oregon State University and her art is often inspired by her scientific background. Her interest in textiles and Japan dates extends back to her childhood. In 1994\, she was introduced to katazome and carved her first stencil\, which was a turning point in her artistic life. She studied the craft with American katazome expert John Marshall. She began carving stencils using mostly traditional Japanese patterns. Now using her own hand-cut and personally designed stencils\, Miller produces fabric for art quilts\, silk garments\, linen hangings\, and indigo-dyed cottons. She is passionate about the patterns found in natural forms\, detailed biological images like tree branches\, leaf skeletons\, or marine animals\, and especially the abstractions nature produces.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nMiller’s work has been exhibited twice in Japan and\, numerous private and public collections\,. Her art was hung in the Washington D.C. office of Jane Lubchenco\, the head of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the first Obama administration. She has taught katazome nationally and internationally and has published several articles. She was featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat\, in October 2007.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nArtist Statement\n\n\n\nI grew up in a home where both art and science were respected. My father was an organic chemist and my mother an artist\, the daughter of one of the early naturalists in the Pacific Northwest. My grandfather traveled to Japan in 1910 and returned with an appreciation for the Japanese aesthetic as well as for their love of their own natural history as depicted in their art and textiles. He was a mentor for me as a child and his inspiration eventually influenced my choice of marine biology as a career. I spent 25 years as a research scientist at Oregon State University\, studying Octopus oxygen binding proteins. I now realize I was always an artist as well\, and my choice of career was made at least in part because of the beauty of the animals. I worked while raising three children but I always made time for art. My mother was a painter\, and a good one\, but I was genuinely drawn to textiles as my medium\, first embroidery\, then quilting and finally\, my real artistic home\, katazome 型染\, Japanese stencil dyeing. I had adored traditional Japanese stencil designs for nearly 30 years. Carving my first stencil in a class taught by a Japanese indigo dyer was a turning point in my artistic life and I have never looked back. Although I studied briefly with American katazome expert John Marshall\, most of my work over nearly thirty years has been independent\, carving hundreds of stencils and using them to make traditional and experimental textiles for art quilts\, garments and interiors.\n\n\n\nKatazome allows me to separate the production of the image from the application of color\, a process more akin to printmaking than to painting. The stencil katagami 型紙 is made from shibugami 渋紙. Several layers of thin mulberry fiber paper\, kozo\, are laminated with persimmon juice\, kakishibu 柿渋\, and smoked\, yielding an aromatic brown paper. It is brittle and easy to cut when dry\, but leathery and tough when wet. A layer of silk mesh\, sha\, lacquered on the top surface protects even the most intricate stencil from damage when the rice paste resist\, nori\, is spread through it onto the fabric. Then the fabric is either dipped into the indigo vat\, or stretched like a hammock and dye painted. The pattern emerges when the resist is soaked off. I began carving stencils using mostly traditional Japanese patterns and they taught me much about cutting techniques and the layout of the design. I consider this time spent my apprenticeship\, in time enabling me to design my own original stencils\, inspired by the images which speak most deeply to me.\n\n\n\nCombining art and science in my work\, I care deeply that what I depict is biologically accurate as well as beautiful. Although I am not an abstract artist\, pattern is my passion\, pattern found in natural forms\, detailed biological images like tree branches\, leaf skeletons\, or marine animals and especially the abstractions nature produces. Why invent when nature supplies such a wealth of beauty to use in my art?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank The Miller Foundation for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind.&nbsp\;This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\n\n\n\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nOregon Koto-Kai Performing at the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Photo courtesy of Oregon Koto-Kai.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan's most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai&nbsp\;is a group of people with a passion for Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither-like instrument with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble held its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since that time\, they have performed all over the state at multiple venues each year\, including Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Oregon Koto-Kai’s mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by creating opportunities for people to attend concerts or take lessons.&nbsp\; They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n

This conversation between experts and artists will touch on the processes\, history\, and aesthetics which allowed this tradition to endure and flourish over the years\, establishing Bizen ceramics as a truly iconic artform that continues to connect with new generations of audiences. This moderated discussion will take place before a Q&amp\;A.\n\n\n\nOur special guests for the webinar include:\n\n\n\n\nDavid Sneider\, of the David Sneider and Naomi Pollock Collection\n\n\n\nRobert Yellin\, Japanese Pottery Specialist and owner of Robert Yellin Yakimono Gallery\n\n\n\nKoichiro Isezaki\, Bizen Ceramic Artist\n\n\n\n\nThe conversation will be moderated by Aki Nakanishi\, Japan Institute Director and Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art\, and Education at Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nEarthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen\n\n\n\nThis webinar is presented as part of Earthen Elegance: Ceramic Art of Bizen. On loan from the Collection of David Sneider and Naomi Pollock\, this exhibition celebrates contemporary ceramic art and vessels that preserve a time-honored collaboration of earth\, fire\, and the artist’s hand.\n\n\n\nRecognized as one of the&nbsp\;Rokkoyō&nbsp\;(六古窯) Six Ancient Kilns of Japan\, Bizen is a ceramic center based in Okayama Prefecture that has continued its unique form of pottery for over 900 years. Notable for their rustic\, textured\, and unglazed forms\, the ceramics featured in&nbsp\;Earthen Elegance&nbsp\;reveal the depths of the Bizen pottery tradition.\n\n\n\nToday the town of Bizen hosts nearly 300 active kilns with artists continuing to use local materials and an ancient wood-firing process. Featuring work by many of Bizen’s leading potters including Jun Isezaki and Ryuichi Kakurezaki\, the exhibition presents both functional vessels and innovative sculptural forms that expand the frontier of Bizen ware.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto and Harp by Masumi Timson &amp\; Bethany Evans
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto and harp performance by Masumi Timson and Bethany Evans&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Masumi Timson\n\n\n\nMasumi Timson&nbsp\;is a performer and instructor of the&nbsp\;Koto&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shamisen –&nbsp\;traditional musical instruments of Japan. She holds a Master’s Degree in Music with a specialization in the&nbsp\;koto&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;shamisen&nbsp\;from Seiha Conservatory of Japanese Traditional Music\, one of the most prestigious koto schools in Japan. Masumi plays both classical and contemporary koto music\, and also sings Japanese classical songs with koto and shamisen accompaniment. She also enjoys collaborating with various western musical instruments to explore a wide range of musical genres\, from jazz and tango\, to western classical compositions by Bach and Mozart. Masumi has participated in many recordings of&nbsp\;Pink Martini\,&nbsp\;and has performed with the band at various venues around the world\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. Masumi is also a Japanese language professor and currently teaches Japanese language and culture at Chemeketa Community College in Salem\, Oregon.\n\n\n\nArtist Bio: Bethany Evans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBethany Evans\, a native of Salem\, Oregon\, began her music studies at age five. She began studying the harp four years later and found her passion. She received a Bachelor of Music in Harp Performance from the University of Arizona&nbsp\;summa cum laude and graduated with a 4.0 from the University of Oregon’s Master of Music program in Harp Performance. She has studied with Marion Fouse\, Suzanne McDonald\, Carrol McLaughlin\, and Laura Zaerr.&nbsp\; Ms Evans also has a law degree from Willamette University College of Law. She has performed extensively throughout Europe and the United States and has multiple award-winning recordings.

Her greatest devotion is being a mom to her daughter\, son\, and muse for her husband\, artist Kamron Coleman.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the&nbsp\;Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over. Learn more about the Koto.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mottainai: The Fabric of Life - Lessons in Frugality from Traditional Japan with Diane Durston\, Curator Emerita
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIn honor of Earth Day 2025\, Curator Emerita Diane Durston will be presenting a lecture that revisits a Japanese concept centered on the message of environmental awareness.\n\n\n\nMottainai means “nothing wasted\,” an often repeated saying in Japanese with which parents urge their children not to waste anything\, not even the smallest grain of rice. As part of a yearlong series of programs on the theme of “Living in Harmony with Nature” in 2011\, Portland Japanese Garden hosted a groundbreaking exhibition of bast fiber and recycled folk textiles in an exhibition entitled MOTTAINAI: The Fabric of Life. The exhibition showcased some of the remarkable ways in which the Japanese used foraged and recycled materials to cloth themselves in less affluent times\, “not wasting anything” as the adage mottainai advised.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Diane Durston\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Durston is a writer\, lecturer\, cultural consultant\, and educator\, who lived for 18 years in Japan. From 2007 to 2018\, Durston was the Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art &amp\; Education at Portland Japanese Garden\, where she has been instrumental in expanding the Garden’s reputation as a center of cultural learning\, laying the groundwork for the Garden’s new International Institute for Garden Arts and Culture. Upon her retirement in 2018\, Durston assumed the role of Curator Emerita. To learn more about Durston\, read the rest of her bio here.\n\n\n\n\n

However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members.

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto\, Cello\, and Storytelling by SamaZama
DESCRIPTION:\nMasumi Timson and Joseph Harchanko posing with their instruments.\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto and cello performance by&nbsp\;SamaZama&nbsp\;at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. SamaZama members will tell the beloved Japanese folk tale of Momotaro\, the Peach Boy\, a boy born from a peach who grows up to conquer some evil ogres. The Garden is excited to offer this family-family performance as part of it's extended celebration of&nbsp\;the festival\, Kodomo no Hi\, or Children’s Day.\n\n\n\nSamaZama Koto/Cello Duo is a collaboration of the Koto – a Japanese traditional musical instrument played by Masumi Timson and the cello played by Joseph Harchanko. “Samazama” is the Japanese word for variety. The SamaZama Duo combines the esoteric nature of traditional and contemporary Japanese music with tango\, jazz\, blues and western classical music\, blending the instruments and music of Eastern and Western cultures in a moving and uncommon musical synthesis. Their music deftly unites these two widely divergent instruments through traditional and contemporary Koto works to create a vibrant musical soundscape that soothes and inspires.\n\n\n\nMasumi Timson and Joseph Harchanko presenting Momotaro.\n\n\n\nARTIST BIO:&nbsp\;MASUMI TIMSON\n\n\n\nMasumi Timson is a performer and instructor of the Koto and Shamisen – traditional musical instruments of Japan. She holds a Master’s Degree in Music with a specialization in the Koto and Shamisen from Seiha Conservatory of Japanese Traditional Music\, one of the most prestigious Koto schools in Japan. Masumi plays both classical and contemporary Koto music\, and also sings Japanese classical songs with Koto and Shamisen accompaniment. She also enjoys collaborating with various western musical instruments to explore a wide range of musical genres\, from jazz and tango\, to western classical compositions by Bach and Mozart. Masumi has participated in many recordings of Pink Martini\, and has performed with the band at various venues around the world\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. She also directs the koto club at Willamette University and teaches Japanese language and culture at Chemeketa Community College. We’re truly fortunate to have her as a cultural partner.\n\n\n\nMasumi Timson\, October 2023.\n\n\n\nARTIST BIO:&nbsp\;JOSEPH HARCHANKO\n\n\n\nDr. Joseph Harchanko is an award-winning composer and cellist living and teaching in Salem\, Oregon. He received his D.M.A. in composition at The University of Texas and holds Masters degrees in cello and composition from The Florida State University. He has written extensively for traditional ensembles and digital media. His music has been described as both "energetic and exhilarating" and "mystically alluring." Dr. Harchanko is principle cellist of the Salem Orchestra in Oregon and a founding member of the Salem Cello Quartet. He performs frequently with his teenage daughter\, Elena\, under the name String Theory Cello Duo. Many of his compositions and performances are inspired by western landscapes. His works have been performed across North and South America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia including performances at New York’s Carnegie Hall\, London’s Colourscape\, France’s Bourges and Videoformes festivals\, and New Music in Tasmania.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE KOTO\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku&nbsp\;ensemble\, along with the three-string&nbsp\;Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana by Diane Dixon
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Diane Dixon from the Ohara School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout Ohara School\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana is noted for developing the moribana style. This broke with the more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers. Ohara School emphasizes seasonal qualities\, natural growth processes\, and the beauty of natural environments. The selection and arrangement of seasonal materials genuinely allows the ikebana devotee to connect with and reflect nature’s beauty.\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Wang Dixon is an accomplished artist with extensive&nbsp\;experience in the traditional Japanese floral art of Ikebana.&nbsp\; Ms. Dixon practices with the Ohara school of Ikebana both in the United Stated and Asia.&nbsp\; She conducts private&nbsp\;exhibitions and workshops\,&nbsp\;charity fundraising events and&nbsp\;artist workshops.\n\n\n\nMs. Dixon is a global citizen and a seasoned business professional with a diverse cultural background.&nbsp\; She has lived and worked throughout Asia Pacific and North America.&nbsp\; Living in Tokyo for more than ten years allowed&nbsp\;her to immerse herself in the true spirit of Ikebana Japanese art\, truly demonstrated by the excellence of her work.&nbsp\;Her&nbsp\;presentations demonstrate high quality\, authenticity\, and inspiration.\n\n\n\nMs. Dixon is the President of The Asian Art and Culture&nbsp\;Foundation and she currently serves as the officer on the Board of Ikebana&nbsp\;International\, Portland Chapter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Tea Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:\nChado\, the Way of Tea is intrinsically linked to Japanese Gardens\, and we're honored to partner with members of Kashintei Kai Tea Society who generously donate their time to demonstrate this ancient art form in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden will offer free public demonstrations of Chadō\, the Way of Tea\, at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center from 1:15 - 2:15pm.\n\n\n\nThe Way of Tea is intrinsically linked to Japanese gardens and understanding the kokoro (heart) of Japanese gardening.\n\n\n\nAbout Tea Ceremony\n\n\n\nThe traditional Japanese tea ceremony is a manner of preparing and drinking a bowl of tea. More than just making tea\, it reflects the Japanese sense of omotenashi\, or wholehearted hospitality. It involves choreographed movements where both the host and guest escape the fast pace of life and experience calm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tea Ceremony Workshop: Learn the Role of the Guest with Jan Waldmann
DESCRIPTION:\nJan Waldmann\, Sosui  \n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden's Tea Ceremony Workshop offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditional practice of Chanoyu\, or the Way of Tea. Experience the art of tranquility\, mindfulness\, and omotenashi\, whole-hearted hospitality.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIt is not an exaggeration to say that through tea\, one can understand much of Japanese culture. Tea’s influence can be found in many of the nation’s most beloved artforms\, including&nbsp\; arranging flowers\, calligraphy\, incense\, ceramics and lacquerware. Japanese gardens are also deeply intertwined with tea ceremony. The four principles of tea\, wa (harmony)\, kei (respect)\, sei (purity)\, and jaku (tranquility)\, are explored by the gardeners of Portland Japanese Garden in their work every day.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nGuided by skilled instructor Jan Waldmann\, Sosui\, the focus of this workshop is to learn to be a guest in the tea ceremony\, an important aspect to this historic tradition. Participants will learn the proper etiquette for attending a tea ceremony\, including how to receive and take sweets and matcha\, and most importantly\, the reasons behind each of the steps. Additionally\, you will gain insight into what it entails to be a host— understanding the occasion and seasonality\, attention to aesthetics\, careful preparation\, and the thoughtful gestures made toward the guests.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nParticipants will first attend a presentation of tea ceremony in our Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner alongside visitors to the Garden (2-2:30pm) before they are taken into their exclusive workshop in the Yanai Family Classroom (2:45-4:15pm).\n\n\n\nNo previous experience is need.\n\n\n\nAbout Tea Ceremony\n\n\n\nThe traditional Japanese tea ceremony is a particular manner of preparing and drinking a bowl of tea. More than just making and serving tea\, this tradition is based in formality and in many ways is a microcosm of the Japanese sense of&nbsp\;omotenashi\, which translates as wholehearted hospitality. It is a type of practice comprising of choreographed movements which serve as a foundation where both the host and the guest can escape from the fast pace of everyday life and involve all their senses and experience a serene feeling of calm.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Jan Waldmann\, Sosui\n\n\n\nJan Waldmann. Photo by Aaron Lee.\n\n\n\nJan Waldmann began the study of Chado\, the Way of Tea in 1971\, while living in Japan. Over the years\, she studied in both Japan and America\, receiving her teaching degree from Urasenke Foundation in Kyoto\, Japan\, in 1989. She specializes in blending the traditional philosophy and movements of Chado with contemporary views of the Ceremony itself. Jan is the President of the Urasenke Wakai Tankokai Association and is currently teaching the Way of Tea privately as well as at Lewis &amp\; Clark College.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Urasenke\n\n\n\nUrasenke Konnichian of Kyoto is one of the major establishments within Japan that has preserved the tradition of Chado or the Way of Tea.  From the first Urasenke generation\, Sen no Rikyu (1522-91) to the current headmaster Zabosai Genmoku Soshitsu XVI (b.1956 -)\, the Sen family lineage has devoted great effort to fostering the philosophy of Tea through the simple words of Wa - Harmony\, Kei -Repect\, Sei - Purity &amp\; Jaku - Tranquility. Over the years Urasenke has established connections in over 21 cities worldwide.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFeedback from Past Students\n\n\n\nJan was a wonderful teacher. She really unfurled the tea leaves to reveal more of the complexity of flavors and aromas within. So much beautiful complexity and thoughtfulness lies just below the surface of the experience and now I have a sense of how much there is to learn and appreciate.\n\n\n\nIt was just right for an introduction focused on the role of a guest.\n\n\n\nI feel like I can passably take part in a tea ceremony without causing unintentional offense.\n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring&nbsp\;shinobue&nbsp\;flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind.&nbsp\;This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\n\n\n\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n

However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Katazome (Japanese Stencil Dyeing) Scarf Workshop with Karen Illman Miller
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nKatazome silk scarves by Karen Illman Miller.\n\n\n\nFor 500 years\, Japanese kimono and textiles have been produced with paper stencils. Katazome is a Japanese technique of dyeing fabrics or paper using a resist paste made of rice flour applied to fabric through a stencil. “Kata” means pattern\, and “zome” means to dye. Portland Japanese Garden is partnering with Karen Illman Miller\, a Corvallis-based katazome artist who has worked in the artform since 1994\, to provide an introductory workshop. Miller describes katazome\, Japanese stencil dyeing\, as “a process more like printmaking than painting.”\n\n\n\nThe Garden is thrilled to offer this opportunity for its guests to get hands-on experience as it simultaneously presents Natural Patterns: Katazome Stencil Dyeing in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery. During the workshop\, participants will have an opportunity to apply resist paste\, cut a simple stencil and dye an oblong silk scarf using instant-set fiber dye.\n\n\n\nParticipation is limited to 12 students.\n\n\n\nAll tools and materials are included in the workshop fee. Registration fees are non-refundable.\n\n\n\nThe workshop includes six hours of instruction and a 30-minute lunch break. Coffee\, tea\, water\, and light snacks will be provided. Students should bring their own lunch.\n\n\n\nInstructor Biography\n\n\n\nKaren Miller was a marine biologist at Oregon State University and her art is often inspired by her scientific background. Her interest in textiles and Japan dates extends back to her childhood. In 1994\, she was introduced to katazome and carved her first stencil\, which was a turning point in her artistic life. She studied the craft with American katazome expert John Marshall and began carving stencils using mostly traditional Japanese patterns. Now using her own hand-cut and personally designed stencils\, Miller produces fabric for art quilts\, silk garments\, linen hangings\, and indigo-dyed cottons. She is passionate about the patterns found in natural forms and detailed biological images like tree branches\, leaf skeletons\, or marine animals\, and especially the abstractions nature produces.\n\n\n\nMiller’s work has been exhibited twice in Japan and in numerous private and public collections. Her art was hung in the Washington D.C. office of Jane Lubchenco\, the head of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the first Obama administration. She has taught katazome nationally and internationally and has published several articles. She was featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat in October 2007.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Tea Ceremony (Canceled)
DESCRIPTION:\nTea Ceremony Demonstration at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden will offer a free public demonstration of&nbsp\;Chado\, the Way of Tea\, in the Kashintei Tea House (in the Tea Garden) from 1:15 – 2:15pm. The Way of Tea is intrinsically linked to Japanese gardens and understanding the&nbsp\;kokoro&nbsp\;(heart) of Japanese gardening.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKashintei (literally “Flower-Heart Room”) is the name of the authentic Tea House that sits in the heart of our Tea Garden. The structure was made in Japan\, shipped in pieces\, and reassembled in the Garden. Tea houses are composed of several strictly defined spaces: the anteroom [mizuya]\, where the utensils for the ceremony are readied beforehand\; the sitting room [zashiki]\, where the tea ceremony is performed\; the alcove [tokonoma] where flowers and a calligraphy scroll are displayed.&nbsp\; Four-and-a-half tatami mats\, which are the standard dimensions of a traditional tea house\, cover the floor.\n\n\n\nPhoto by Tyler Quinn.\n

DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto Courtesy of Oregon Koto Kai\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm and 2:00pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither introduced to Japan in the 7th century. It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually becoming one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today\, its varied repertoire and wide range of playing techniques provide a rich palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences worldwide. Learn more about Koto.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai is a group passionate about the Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble performed its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since then\, they have performed throughout the state at venues like the Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival\, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Their mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by providing concerts and lessons. They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills\, and contribute to the cultural\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Garden+ Lecture | Niwa Akari: Landscape Lighting in Japanese Gardens
DESCRIPTION:\nLighting design by Janet Lennox Moyer\, Photo by George Gruel\n\n\n\nThroughout most of their history\, the only evening illumination seen in Japanese gardens came from the glow of stone lanterns or the moon. However\, as modern technology evolved\, so did these landscapes. Lighting in Japanese gardens\, or niwa akari\, throughout the world has now become a skill in itself—how can one make sure that the introduction of electric equipment fits within the aesthetic needs of a given space and not disrupt the harmonious orchestration of stone\, plants\, and water? Furthermore\, how can the illumination be done in a way that minimizes light pollution and still serves its function?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese questions and more will be discussed in the Japanese Garden Training Center’s 2025 lecture\, Landscape Lighting in Japanese Gardens. Tyler Nishitani\, a local architect who helped shape Portland Japanese Garden’s award-winning 2017 expansion\, will moderate a discussion with landscape lighting expert Tim Ryan. Together\, they will explore the potential of how lighting can complement the aesthetics of Japanese gardens and the technical challenges one must navigate.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe Japanese Garden Training Center\, a proud endeavor of the Garden’s global cultural initiative\, Japan Institute\, is excited to present this program as part of its “Garden Lecture+” series. These in-person gatherings aim to examine Japanese gardens through bold and inspiring new contexts by bringing designers\, authors\, practitioners\, and researchers to Portland Japanese Garden to share fresh ideas and expertise.\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Japanese Garden Training Center\n\n\n\nJapan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden’s Japanese Garden Training Center teaches the traditional skills and techniques for creating and fostering Japanese gardens\, while acquainting learners with a garden’s cultural heart. The Training Center offers learners of all levels\, from elementary school students to horticulture enthusiasts to seasoned professionals\, the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Japanese garden and its philosophies. It offers workshops\, themed tours\, school programs\, lectures\, professional seminars\, and design intensives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Japanese Folk Songs by Ikoi no Kai Singers and The Hirugohan Group
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Ikoi No Kai Singers and The Hirogohan Group\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free concert of Japanese folk songs by the Ikoi no Kai Singers and The Hirugohan Group at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center at 1:15 pm. This family-friendly performance will include a collection of children’s songs in Japanese including the beloved Kira Boshi\, Twinkle\, Twinkle Little Star. As part of our extended celebration of the Tanabata Festival\, the performance will also feature a song about Tanabata\, 七夕様 (Tanabatasama).\n\n\n\nIkoi No Kai\, the Japanese Ancestral Society of Portland\, was founded on February 14\, 1979 by a group of Issei to provide nutritious meals to older members of our community. The name was selected because of its meaning: “a place of rest.” Ikoi no Kai also provides an opportunity for people to get together to sing\, play cards\, and move with lessons in tai chi and chair hula.\n\n\n\nThe Ikoi no Kai Singers are accompanied by The Hirugohan Group. In Japanese\, the word for lunch is hirugohan. The singers and musicians perform a repertoire of half American and half Japanese songs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tanabata\, The Star Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nIllustration of Orihime and Hikoboshi by George Katagiri\, who was a longtime friend of Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nTanabata\, the Star Festival\, is one of five seasonal festivals that has been celebrated in Japan since the eighth century. Each summer in Japan\, people prepare for the festival by writing their wishes on narrow strips of paper called&nbsp\;tanzaku&nbsp\;and hanging them with other origami paper ornaments on bamboo branches displayed at the entrance to their homes and public places. Guests attending Portland Japanese Garden’s Tanabata celebration will be invited to the Yanai Family Classroom to write their own wishes on tanzaku. Volunteers will be present to assist guests with hanging their tanzaku on the bamboo in the Crumpacker Bamboo Allee\, adding to the colorful display. The festival will also feature music from Takohachi and storytelling of the Tanabata story.\n\n\n\nWarm weather is expected! Be sure to bring water bottles\, sun protection\, and items to stay cool.\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n10:30am – 2:30pm: Wish writing in the Yanai Family Classroom.\n\n\n\n10:45am – 11:15am: Musical performances by Takohachi featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story\n\n\n\n11:45am – 12:15pm: Musical performances by Takohachi featuring storytelling of the Tanabata story\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Tanabata\n\n\n\nA guest reads wishes written on tanzaku. \n\n\n\nTanabata was inspired by an ancient Chinese folk legend of two stars—Hikoboshi\, the Cowherder Star (Altair)\, and his lover\, Princess Orihime\, the Weaver Star (Vega). Orihime and Hikoboshi were in love but banished to opposite ends of the Milky Way by Orihime’s father\, the Sky King\, for neglecting their work to spend time together. Moved by his daughter’s sorrow over this\, the Sky King allowed them to meet just once a year on the seventh night of the seventh month. On this night a flock of magpies use their wings to form a bridge so that Orihime may cross the Milky Way to be united with Hikoboshi. The magpies will only make the bridge if July 7&nbsp\;is a clear night\; if it rains\, they must wait another year. Because of this legend\, many Japanese people pray for a clear night on July 7.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Miniature Ikebana Workshop with Nana Bellerud\, Sogetsu School
DESCRIPTION:\nMiniature ikebana arrangements by Nana Bellerud.\n\n\n\nVisit Portland Japanese Garden to learn a method of ikebana that takes the beauty of this Japanese artform and puts it into a tiny form! Nana Goto Bellerud\, Branch Director of Sogetsu Portland\, will teach a basic introduction to ikebana\, a Japanese and unique approach to flower arrangement that translates to “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” She will be focusing on miniature arrangements. No previous experience is needed.\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School of Ikebana believes&nbsp\;ikebana&nbsp\;can be practiced anytime\, anywhere\, by anyone. The three main elements designers use are line\, color\, and mass\, with an emphasis on the designer’s individual artistic expression and creativity. Miniature ikebana adds an additional layer of nuance.\n\n\n\n“When making the miniature ikebana of Sogetsu\, we first look for small\, used items such as shot glasses or seashells\,” Bellerud shares.&nbsp\;“Original vessels can be made of soft metals or clay. After the container has been chosen\, we consider the plant materials. We carefully observe the different parts–petals\, pistils\, stamens\, fruits\, leaves\, branches\, and stems—to make new discoveries of their distinctive appearance.&nbsp\; Then we combine the containers with plant parts to create a unique micro-world.”\n\n\n\nAn assortment of containers for miniature ikebana.\n\n\n\nParticipants will first attend a public ikebana demonstration at 1:15pm in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner alongside visitors to the Garden. The demonstration will cover the basic concepts\, techniques\, and tools of ikebana.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFollowing the demonstration\, workshop participants will be taken into their exclusive workshop in the Yanai Family Classroom. Beyond simply producing a beautiful work of art with flowers and natural objects\, Bellerud will show you how ikebana explores artistic concepts such as balance\, contrast\, and negative space. During the workshop\, participants will create three basic miniature arrangements in very small vessels\, which will be provided by the instructor.\n\n\n\nAbout Nana Goto Bellerud\n\n\n\nPhoto courtesy of Nana Bellerud\n\n\n\nNana Goto Bellerud has been studying the Sogetsu School of ikebana since 2005 and continues to be inspired and have new insights from its teachings.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Bellerud demonstrates\, exhibits\, and teaches ikebana at a wide range of venues including the Portland Art Museum\, Portland Japanese Garden\, Gresham Japanese Garden\, various garden clubs\, and schools. Through her demonstrations and workshops\, she seeks to introduce others to the art of ikebana and to intrigue and inspire them.&nbsp\;Beyond simply producing a beautiful work of art with flowers and natural objects\, she shows her audience how ikebana explores artistic concepts such as balance\, contrast\, and negative space.&nbsp\;Bellerud has been creating and posting daily ikebana on Instagram (@nana_bellerud) and actively teaching via live interactive video.\n\n\n\nBellerud holds Master of Arts degrees in Political Science and Agribusiness Management from Mississippi State University and has taught Japanese Culture at Mt. Hood Community College.&nbsp\; She is currently serving as President of Ikebana International Portland Chapter #47 and&nbsp\;Branch Director of Sogetsu Portland.&nbsp\; Bellerud is also a member of the Ikebana Iwaya Fund Board of Directors.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogestu School Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually becoming one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today\, its varied repertoire and wide range of playing techniques provide a rich palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences worldwide. Learn more about Koto.\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai is a group passionate about the Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither with over 1000 years of history.

St.Cousair was founded by Ryozo Kuze in 1976 from a jar of apple jam that his wife\, Mayumi made to serve guests at the ski lodge they were running in Nagano. Carrying on their parents' legacy with the same passion\, sons Ryota and Naoki created the Kuze Fuku &amp\; Sons brand to bring specialty traditional and modern Japanese food to the USA and to the world.

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Week
DESCRIPTION:\n\n  \n  Your browser does not support the video tag.\n\n\n\n\n\nForest&nbsp\;bathing\, or&nbsp\;shinrin yoku\, is the intentional practice of slowing down\, surrounding oneself in nature\, and being mindful of each sense. Join us in celebrating a week of self-care inspired by this practice. \n\n\n\nWe'll have prompts throughout our garden spaces that will take you on a self-guided journey so you can leave here feeling refreshed and energized. Keep an eye out for signs as you enter the Garden!\n\n\n\nFamily Studio\n\n\n\nParticipate in fun activities in the Family Studio on Saturday 8/9 and Sunday 8/10 during Forest Bathing week like Lego Bonsai building and coloring pages.\n\n\n\nAlso join us both days (8/9\, 8/10) for a Forest Bathing Giveaway in the Family Studio. The first 20 guests who complete the self-guided journey on either of these days will receive a Discovery Journal (children’s activity book available in English\, Spanish\, and Chinese) and a copy of Forest Bathing to Better Our Health.\n\n\n\nMore About Forest Bathing\n\n\n\nThe Entry Garden. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nOf the more formalized approaches to leveraging the special qualities of nature\, forest bathing has started to grow momentum in the American cultural zeitgeist. Only popularized as a term in 1982 by the Japanese Forestry Agency\, it can be thought of as the intentional practice of surrounding oneself in nature and being mindful of each sense—something more conscious and unplugged than staring at a smartphone underneath a tree.\n\n\n\nAs its format is still being shaped by its practitioners\, the results of forest bathing are coming into clearer view. Research has indicated that a variety of forest bathing activities are associated with positive mental and physical health outcomes and reveals that even different logistical approaches\, such as the length of time spent or specific actions (e.g.\, walking\, sitting) can correlate to beneficial outcomes. \n\n\n\nLearn more about forest bathing here.\n\n\n\nIf you're inspired to dig into this practice further\, check out our neighbors at Hoyt Arboretum as well as Leach Botanical Garden as they often offer Forest Bathing Tours!\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring&nbsp\;shinobue&nbsp\;flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind.&nbsp\;This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\n\n\n\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi\, who proposed the idea of hosting the Spirit Festival to our organization in 1976\, has introduced members of all religions and backgrounds to the Buddhist tradition of honoring the departed for close to half a century.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReverend Zuigaku Kodachi at Portland Japanese Garden's O-Bon event in 2023. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nAt the Upper Pond\, Rev. Kodachi chants the Lotus Sutra\, or Myohorengekyo\, in Japanese. Members mourn peacefully together as names of the recently departed are read. During toro nagashi\, a ceremony of floating lanterns\, members watch with quiet reverence as candles float in the Upper Pond near the Moon Bridge. The beautiful five-story Sapporo Pagoda Lantern in our Strolling Pond Garden and other lanterns throughout our landscape are lit to help the spirits find their way home.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThis event is available exclusively to members of Portland Japanese Garden. For those who are unable to join in-person\, we will be livestreaming this event on our Instagram. To learn when this livestream will place\, please reference our weekly newsletter.\n\n\n\nAbout O-Bon\n\n\n\nO-Bon is a Buddhist festival for commemorating ones’ ancestors\, which dates back more than 1\,300 years. Traditionally\, the spirits of the ancestors are believed to temporarily return to this world to reunite with their relatives during O-Bon. Other than New Year’s Day\, O-Bon is the other most important holiday in Japan. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThroughout Japan\, Buddhist services are held at temples and homes from August 13-15 to pray for one’s ancestors\, particularly those who have died within the past year. This serves as a reminder of the importance of family ties\, as a gesture of respect for those who have gone before\, and as an acknowledgment of the brevity and preciousness of life as a family.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCandles\, lanterns\, and other fires are lit to guide the spirits back to the heavens. Toro-nagashi\, a ceremony of floating lanterns\, is celebrated in many regions on the last night of O-Bon. Floating paper lanterns are lit with candles and released into a river or the sea to guide the ancestral spirits back to the spirit world.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFamilies also visit the cemetery to clean the graves of relatives and pay their respects by offering flowers and burning incense. Also\, people clean their homes and offer a variety of foods to the spirits of their ancestors in front of their butsudan (family altar)\, decorated with flowers and paper lanterns.\n\n\n\nRemarks from Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi on the History of O-Bon\n\n\n\nReverend Zuigaku Kodachi in Portland Japanese Garden in 1990. Photo courtesy of Ed McVicker.\n\n\n\nReverend Zuigaku Kodachi is Head Priest of the Buddhist congregation\, Nichiren Shu Minori Kai\, and Professor Emeritus at Lewis &amp\; Clark University. Reverend Kodachi first moved to the United States from his native Japan more than 60 years ago and has helped educate multiple generations on both Buddhism and Japanese culture writ large. Among the many acts of cultural diplomacy the Reverend has embarked on was the introduction of O-Bon (the Spirit Festival) to Portland Japanese Garden in 1976.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPrior to chanting\, Reverend Kodachi walks guests through the significance of O-Bon as well as the etymology of the word O-Bon to deepen their understanding. Below is a summary of what he has shared over the years:&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n“O-Bon is an opportunity for people and communities to gather to honor our beloved ones who have passed and express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to them.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n The O-Bon was officially introduced in Japan in 606 C.E. during the reign of the 33rd Japanese Emperor\, Empress Suiko\, but it originated in Central Asia.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nO-Bon is the transliteration of the title of the Mahayana sutra\, the Ullambana-Sutra. This sutra was very popular among Mahayana Buddhist texts. According to linguistic scholar Dr. Yutaka Iwamoto\, the word Ullambana was derived from the ancient Iranian word Urvan\, which means soul.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThrough the transmigration this Buddhist text\, we can observe the existence of international communication and diversity in the history of mankind.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSogdiana (Sogdia) was an ancient Iranian state in the Old Persian Empire\, spanning present-day Uzbekistan\, Turkmenistan\, Tajikistan\, Kazakhstan\, and Kyrgyzstan. Sogdiana was an important international trading hub between the East and West. Sogdiana’s capital city\, Samarkand\, was known as one of the major historical oasis cities on the Silk Road in Central Asia. It is through this vast network that the Sogdian people brought the tradition and custom of O-Bon to China in the fifth century before it would be transmitted to Japan.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe origin of O-Bon’s concept of Oneness has great influence on mankind and the history of peace in the world. Even though the tradition of O-Bon is closely related to Buddhism\, its spirit is universal and widely appreciated by people\, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds.”&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nWritten by Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi&nbsp\;\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Tea Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:\nTea Ceremony taking place in the Tea Garden. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden will offer a free public demonstration of&nbsp\;Chado\, the Way of Tea\, in the Kashintei Tea House (in the Tea Garden) from 1:15 – 2:15pm. The Way of Tea is intrinsically linked to Japanese gardens and understanding the&nbsp\;kokoro&nbsp\;(heart) of Japanese gardening.\n\n\n\nKashintei (literally “Flower-Heart Room”) is the name of the authentic Tea House that sits in the heart of our Tea Garden. The structure was made in Japan\, shipped in pieces\, and reassembled in the Garden. Tea houses are composed of several strictly defined spaces: the anteroom [mizuya]\, where the utensils for the ceremony are readied beforehand\; the sitting room [zashiki]\, where the tea ceremony is performed\; the alcove [tokonoma] where flowers and a calligraphy scroll are displayed.&nbsp\; Four-and-a-half tatami mats\, which are the standard dimensions of a traditional tea house\, cover the floor.\n\n\n\nPhoto by Tyler Quinn.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Art Demonstration: Katazome Stencil Dyeing by Karen Illman Miller
DESCRIPTION:\nKaren Illman Miller applying resist paste to create a katazome textile in her home studio. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a free katazome demonstration by Karen Illman Miller at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center from 2:00pm – 3:00pm. This demonstration is presented as part of Natural Patterns: Katazome Stencil Dyeing.\n\n\n\nKatazome is a Japanese technique of dyeing fabrics using exquisitely cut paper stencils and resist paste to dye fabrics. During this demonstration\, artist Karen Illman Miller will illustrate step-by-step the process to create beautiful\, patterned textiles.\n\n\n\nArtist Karen Illman Miller cutting a katagami stencil. \n\n\n\nAbout Karen Illman Miller\n\n\n\nArtist Biography\n\n\n\nKaren Miller was a marine biologist at Oregon State University and her art is often inspired by her scientific background. Her interest in textiles and Japan dates extends back to her childhood. In 1994\, she was introduced to katazome and carved her first stencil\, which was a turning point in her artistic life. She studied the craft with American katazome expert John Marshall. She began carving stencils using mostly traditional Japanese patterns. Now using her own hand-cut and personally designed stencils\, Miller produces fabric for art quilts\, silk garments\, linen hangings\, and indigo-dyed cottons. She is passionate about the patterns found in natural forms\, detailed biological images like tree branches\, leaf skeletons\, or marine animals\, and especially the abstractions nature produces.\n\n\n\nMiller’s work has been exhibited twice in Japan and\, numerous private and public collections\,. Her art was hung in the Washington D.C. office of Jane Lubchenco\, the head of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the first Obama administration. She has taught katazome nationally and internationally and has published several articles. She was featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s&nbsp\;Oregon Art Beat\, in October 2007.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring&nbsp\;shinobue&nbsp\;flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind.&nbsp\;This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\n\n\n\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n

Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n// Get the modal elements\nvar mainModal = document.getElementById("newsModal")\;\nvar separateModal = document.getElementById("separateModal")\;\n\n// Get the button elements\nvar mainBtns = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-btn")\;\nvar separateBtn = document.getElementById("separateModalBtn")\;\n\n// Get the close button elements\nvar mainSpan = mainModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\nvar separateSpan = separateModal.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]\;\n\n// Function to toggle the display of a modal\nfunction toggleModal(modal) {\n  modal.style.display = (modal.style.display === "block") ?

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Tea Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:\nTea Ceremony taking place in the Tea Garden. Photo by Jonathan Ley.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden will offer a free public demonstration of&nbsp\;Chado\, the Way of Tea\, in the Kashintei Tea House (in the Tea Garden) from 1:15 – 2:15pm. The Way of Tea is intrinsically linked to Japanese gardens and understanding the&nbsp\;kokoro&nbsp\;(heart) of Japanese gardening.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKashintei (literally “Flower-Heart Room”) is the name of the authentic Tea House that sits in the heart of our Tea Garden. The structure was made in Japan\, shipped in pieces\, and reassembled in the Garden. Tea houses are composed of several strictly defined spaces: the anteroom [mizuya]\, where the utensils for the ceremony are readied beforehand\; the sitting room [zashiki]\, where the tea ceremony is performed\; the alcove [tokonoma] where flowers and a calligraphy scroll are displayed.&nbsp\; Four-and-a-half tatami mats\, which are the standard dimensions of a traditional tea house\, cover the floor.\n\n\n\nPhoto by Tyler Quinn.\n

SUMMARY:Modern Kintsugi Workshop with Emi Joyce
DESCRIPTION:\nRepaired ceramics\, photo courtesy of Emi Joyce\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is partnering with Emi Joyce\, a Portland-based kintsugi restorer and instructor\, to provide two modern kintsugi workshops on September 21st. Kintsugi (金継ぎ\, gold joinery) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. In this centuries-old practice\, fractures transform from hidden weak points into beautiful golden elements worth celebrating. The philosophy of kintsugi teaches us to embrace imperfections in our life and appreciate the beauty of human flaws. While the traditional method used by experts is challenging and requires cautious handling of materials like urushi lacquer\, the “modern” kintsugi method uses accessible materials and is ideal for beginners. \n\n\n\nParticipants can register for the morning session (9:30am – 12:30pm) or the afternoon session (1:30pm – 4:30pm). Each workshop will include three hours of instruction. Participation is limited to 12 students for each session. Beginners are welcome.\n\n\n\nAll supplies will be provided as part of the price of admission to this workshop\, including a broken ceramic bowl. Please bring a cardboard box or something similar that will allow you to carry your items home without touching the repaired parts. Please also note that the ceramic vessel you will be repairing is not food safe—it is intended for display only.\n\n\n\nNOTE: Participants are also welcome to bring a couple of damaged glazed ceramics\, but please review the following guidelines:\n\n\n\n\nThe item must be 10 inches or smaller.\n\n\n\nThe material must be ceramic or porcelain.\n\n\n\nPlease do not bring glass\, wood\, damaged family heirlooms\, or items broken into more than four pieces.\n\n\n\nChips must be half an inch or less. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emi Joyce:\n\n\n\nPhoto of Emi Joyce\, taken by Alexandra Hughes\n\n\n\nEmi Joyce\, formerly a full-time bench jeweler and apparel designer\, is currently a kintsugi restorer and instructor\, repairing hundreds of broken ceramics and regularly teaching kintsugi in Portland\, Oregon. Her lifelong craftsmanship and knowledge of fine motor skills moved on to repair ceramics. Instead of creating new products\, Joyce loves mending damaged\, but precious objects to give them new life. In 2010\, her pursuits in textile education\, a fine jewelry career\, and experimental music scenes eventually led her to leave her birthplace of Tokyo\, Japan to settle in Portland\, Oregon\, where greater access to nature changed her life. You can learn more about Joyce’s kintsugi work on her Instagram: @modernkintsugirepairpdx.\n\n\n\nFeedback from past students:\n\n\n\nEmi explained her process very well and made it accessible. I was hoping it would be feasible for me to do at home on my own\, it absolutely is!\n\n\n\nVery clear demonstration of technique and well-organized teacher and materials\n\n\n\nSo easy to follow\, step by step. Great instructor. It was a relaxing class but I also learned a lot of new info!\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Designing Nature: Elements of Harmony
DESCRIPTION:\nPavilion Gallery portion of the exhibit will be open through February 23.Tanabe Gallery portion of the exhibit will be open through March 1.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJapanese gardens are living expressions of harmony—where nature is shaped by human hands and guided by the heart. Designing Nature invites you to explore the history\, traditions\, and philosophies behind this timeless art form—revealing the depth\, intention\, and beauty that define Japanese garden design. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment of reflection\, a deeper connection to the natural world\, or a spark of creative inspiration\, the Garden welcomes all who enter.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition represents a collaboration between Portland Japanese Garden’s two curators: \n\n\n\n\nAki Nakanishi\, Director of Japan Institute and Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture\, Art\, and Education  \n\n\n\n\n\nHugo Torii\, Garden Curator and Director of the Japanese Garden Training Center  \n\n\n\n\nPavilion Gallery\n\n\n\nAs you enter the Pavilion Gallery\, you’ll step back in time through a visual journey of the six distinct styles of Japanese gardens that developed over 1500 years. Informed by a deep reverence for the natural world\, Japanese garden designers worked in harmony with nature rather than creating artificial spaces.  \n\n\n\n Scale miniatures by architectural model maker\, Aimee Eng\, shed light on Portland Japanese Garden’s design\, while insight about techniques and required maintenance is revealed through a video and quotations from the gardeners.  \n\n\n\nLearn how the three basic garden elements of water\, plant\, and stone have inspired a tapestry of creativity across the ages. Featuring a large-scale waterfall painting of contemporary nihonga painter Hiroshi Senju\, a bamboo sculpture from Chikuunsai Tanabe IV and acclaimed artist Honda Syoryu from the collection of Peter Shinbach\, and a selection of suiseki\, landscape scene stones\, from the collection of Andrew and Jeffrey Robson.\n\n\n\n\n\nCalvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery \n\n\n\nThe exhibition continues in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Travel to Japan through a curated selection of photographs from four prominent gardens based in Japan: Kairaku-en\, Kenroku-en\, Koraku-en\, and Ritsurin-koen in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery. Members and visitors are invited to learn more about the rich history and traditions of garden design from a selection of books in our Vollum Library\, located on the Learning Center’s second floor.  \n\n\n\nThe Living Room Gallery \n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is a love letter from the past to the future\, embodying the efforts and care of many over the years. Photographer Stu Levy has been a neighbor of the Garden for over 50 years and has captured its timeless beauty through his black and white images of scenes that echo across the years. From flowing water to mist in the trees\, these images evoke meditative moments through a unique perspective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner \n\n\n\n\n"Cross Currents" by Anne Crumpacker.

It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually becoming one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today\, its varied repertoire and wide range of playing techniques provide a rich palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences worldwide. Learn more about Koto.\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai is a group passionate about the Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble performed its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since then\, they have performed throughout the state at venues like the Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival\, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Their mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by providing concerts and lessons. They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills\, and contribute to the cultural\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute &amp\; Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring&nbsp\;shinobue&nbsp\;flute and a piano performance by Maido Mind.&nbsp\;This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nYumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugara Shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan.\n\n\n\nBoth women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:O-Tsukimi\, the Moonviewing Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nMoonrise over Portland city skyline\, accompanied by Mt. Hood.\n\n\n\nExperience one of our most coveted cultural evenings. Stroll through lantern-lit paths\, gather with tea in hand to await the moonrise\, compose haiku\, and savor a bento-style dinner provided by Obon Shokudo as the sounds of traditional Japanese instruments drift through the air.\n\n\n\nMoonviewing 2025 event dates:\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, October 5\, 2025: 5:00-7:30 pm (Moonrise @ 6:02 pm)\n\n\n\nMonday\, October 6\, 2025: 5:30-8:00 pm (Harvest moon - Moonrise @ 6:22 pm)\n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 7\, 2025: 5:30-8:00 pm (Moonrise @ 6:44 pm)\n\n\n\n\nMoonviewing\, or O-Tsukimi in Japanese\, is the practice of gazing at the full moon and enjoying its sacred beauty. Since 1990\, Portland Japanese Garden has scheduled this beloved annual event to coincide with the harvest moon\, which occurs anytime from September to early October. There is no better place in Portland to share the romance and mystery of this special custom than from the eastern overlook of the Portland Japanese Garden Pavilion with its views of the city skyline and Mount Hood.\n\n\n\nYumi Tomimaru performing shamisen at a past Moonviewing. Photo by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nMoonviewing Experience Highlights\n\n\n\nMoonviewing guests\, can:\n\n\n\n\nStart the evening with a light vegetarian meal catered by Obon Shokudo\, accompanied by a koto or shamisen performance in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard. Joto Sake and Japanese lager by Pfriem Family Brewers will also be served.\n\n\n\nStroll the lantern-lit garden. Along with O-Bon (The Spirit Festival)\, this is one of only two events each year in which our stone lanterns are illuminated.\n\n\n\nMove to the Mount Hood Overlook and anticipate the moonrise with a cup of Jasmine Pearl Tea and an opportunity to compose haiku as shakuhachi (bamboo flute) music wafts through the air.\n\n\n\nView a candle-lit tea ceremony in Kashintei Tea House.\n\n\n\nAppreciate a special display of ikebana accompanied by tsukimi dango. The 15 white rice cakes\, symbolize the 15th day of the month of the 8th lunar month\, when Moonviewing was traditionally celebrated in Japan. Nana Bellerud’s Ikebana will feature plumes of miscanthus (susuki in Japanese)\, representing the bounty of rice plants\, which the plant resembles.\n\n\n\nAdmire the raked gravel in the Flat Garden is designed in a&nbsp\;special\,&nbsp\;once-a-year checkerboard raking pattern called ichimatsu &nbsp\;in Japanese\;&nbsp\;the alternating squares of white river gravel cast shadows in the moonlight.\n\n\n\n\nVideo of the Flat Garden raked for Moonviewing\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY7GofUhcsE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Event Notes\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that there are three separate evenings available for Moonviewing this year: \n\nSunday\, October 5\n\n\n\nMonday\, October 6\n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 7\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will take place rain or shine.\n\n\n\nPhotographers are asked not to bring tripods or use flash photography.\n\n\n\nTickets benefit Portland Japanese Garden’s cultural programming.\n\n\n\nChildren under 5 can attend at no additional cost and do not require a ticket\, though they will not receive food or beverages. Children ages 6 and older require a full-price ticket\, which does include a meal and non-alcoholic beverages.\n\n\n\n\nAbout O-Tsukimi\n\n\n\nO-Tsukimi (literally\, “looking at the moon”) is the practice of gazing at the harvest moon\, the full moon in mid-autumn\, and enjoying its beauty. In Japan\, the custom of holding these celebrations is thought to have been started by aristocrats in the Heian period that lasted from the 8th to 12th centuries. Courtiers gathered for an elegant evening to admire the full moon\, drink saké\, recite poetry\, play musical instruments\, and pray for good fortune and an abundant harvest.\n\n\n\nPatrick Johnson performing shakuhachi at a past Moonviewing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Sponsors\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to James F. and Marion L.

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Saga Goryu Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:\nPortland Japanese Garden is honored to host a special ikebana demonstration featuring visiting instructors Hoin Horii Setsuho and Hori Yukiho from the Saga Goryu Headquarters in Kyoto\, Japan from 1:15-2:15 PM in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” More than simple decoration\, it is a practice of harmonizing nature\, intention\, and form.\nJoin us for this rare opportunity to witness the timeless floral expressions of Saga Goryu\, brought to life by two master teachers from Kyoto. This demonstration is presented in celebration of the 85th Anniversary of the Saga Goryu North America Chapter\, honoring the theme: 紡 – 過去・現在・未来の夢をつむぐ (Tsumugu – Weaving Dreams of Past\, Present\, and Future.)\n\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_46040" align="alignnone" width="376"] Hoin Horii Setsuho[/caption]\n\n\n[caption id="attachment_46041" align="alignnone" width="376"] Hori Yukiho[/caption]\n\n\nAbout Saga Goryu\nSaga Goryu Ikebana traces its roots back over 1\,200 years to Emperor Saga and the early Buddhist flower offerings (kuge) at Daikaku-ji Temple\, his former imperial villa in Kyoto. These practices—meditative acts of devotion—were not yet ikebana in the artistic sense\, but they embodied a core spirit of offering\, reverence\, and harmony with nature that continues in the school’s philosophy today.\nAs one of Japan’s oldest ikebana lineages\, Saga Goryu continues to express seasonal awareness and natural form while honoring its spiritual and imperial heritage. Its signature arrangement styles—such as Shōgonka\, meaning “flower of solemn dignity”—reveal the quiet power and contemplative beauty of this tradition.\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\nPhoto Courtesy of Oregon Koto Kai\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither introduced to Japan in the 7th century. It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually becoming one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today\, its varied repertoire and wide range of playing techniques provide a rich palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences worldwide. Learn more about Koto.\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai is a group passionate about the Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble performed its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since then\, they have performed throughout the state at venues like the Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival\, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Their mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by providing concerts and lessons. They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Special Viewing - Portland International Chakai
DESCRIPTION:\nTea utensils laid out for viewing\n\n\n\nIn Japanese\, cha means tea\, and kai is the word for meeting or gathering. Portland International Chakai represents a gathering of tea practitioners from around the world. Teachers and their students from three distinct schools of tea will be giving public Tea Ceremony demonstrations throughout the day at Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nPractitioners from Urasenke\, Omotesenke\, and Ueda Soko will be located at three key spots around the Garden. Urasenke will provide demonstrations in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner on the floating tatami mats. In the Yanai Family Classroom\, Ueda Soko will be demonstrating on portable tatami mats. Omotesenke will be located in our Kashintei Tea House.\n\n\n\nPublic demonstrations are scheduled for:\n\n\n\n\n10:00 am\n\n\n\n11:00 am\n\n\n\n1:00 pm\n\n\n\n2:00 pm\n\n\n\n\nVisitors are invited to observe some or all of these demonstrations and gain insight into the artistry and complexities of serving and receiving a bowl of tea.\n\n\n\nSteam rising out of the kama\, or iron kettle.\n\n\n\nMore About Tea Ceremony\n\n\n\nThe traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony is a manner of preparing and drinking a bowl of tea. More than just making tea\, it reflects the Japanese sense of omotenashi\, or wholehearted hospitality. It involves choreographed movements where both the host and guest escape the fast pace of life and experience calm. Portland Japanese Garden considers the Tea Ceremony a form of cultural diplomacy\, introducing people to an aspect of Japanese culture that they may not know about.\n\n\n\nSen no Rikyū (1522-1591) is perhaps the most influential figure in Japanese Tea Ceremony history. Founder of the Sen family\, he occupies an important place not just in the world of tea\, but in the history of Japan. His cultural and political leadership\, combined with his artistic sense and Zen-based ideals\, established the foundations for Chadō\, the Way of Tea. Preparing\, serving\, receiving\, and drinking tea transformed from an activity into a comprehensive discipline under his (and his subsequent generations) teachings.\n\n\n\nThe Three Participating Schools in this gathering:\n\n\n\nUrasenke\n\n\n\nUrasenke Konnichian of Kyoto is one of the major establishments within Japan that has preserved the tradition of Chadō or the Way of Tea.  From Sen no Rikyū to the current headmaster Zabosai Genmoku Soshitsu XVI (b.1956 -)\, the Sen family lineage has devoted great effort to fostering the philosophy of Tea through the simple words of Wa (Harmony)\, Kei (Repect)\, Sei (Purity)\, and Jaku (Tranquility). Over the years Urasenke has established connections in over 21 cities worldwide.&nbsp\;Urasenke literally translates to “rear Sen house”\, referring to the location of the homestead of this particular line of the Sen family.\n\n\n\nOmotesenke\n\n\n\nOmotesenke (lit. front Sen house) is another of the three main families transmitting and preserving the traditions of chanoyu (the act of performing Tea Ceremony) established by Sen no Rikyū\, with Yuyusai Sosa inheriting the mantle of 15th generation Iemoto – headmaster. Wabi-cha\, one of Rikyu’s ideals\, emphasizes simplicity and a beauty that is not seen by the eye but rather perceived by the heart. This philosophy became the basis for the Omotesenke style of chanoyu and is deeply rooted in the daily lives and natural beauty of Japan and its people.\n\n\n\nUeda Sōko\n\n\n\nThe&nbsp\;Ueda Sōko tradition of Tea Ceremony was born during Japan’s most violent period in history. Samurai took their customs\, etiquette\, and values and incorporated them into the practice of chanoyu\, devoting themselves to the practice and celebrating being alive with their comrades. Founded by Sengoku Warlord Ueda Sōko (1563–1650)\, this is sometimes referred to as Samurai Tea or Samurai Meditation. The Ueda Sōko style of tea has been passed down for over 400 years.\n\n\n

The Way of Tea is intrinsically linked to Japanese gardens and understanding the&nbsp\;kokoro&nbsp\;(heart) of Japanese gardening.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKashintei (literally “Flower-Heart Room”) is the name of the authentic Tea House that sits in the heart of our Tea Garden. The structure was made in Japan\, shipped in pieces\, and reassembled in the Garden. Tea houses are composed of several strictly defined spaces: the anteroom [mizuya]\, where the utensils for the ceremony are readied beforehand\; the sitting room [zashiki]\, where the tea ceremony is performed\; the alcove [tokonoma] where flowers and a calligraphy scroll are displayed.&nbsp\; Four-and-a-half tatami mats\, which are the standard dimensions of a traditional tea house\, cover the floor.\n\n\n\nPhoto by Tyler Quinn.\n

SUMMARY:"Cross Currents" by Anne Crumpacker
DESCRIPTION:\nCross Currents by Anne Crumpacker. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nThis fall\, we are honored to display Cross Currents by Portland-based bamboo artist Anne Crumpacker in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner for a special viewing period\, October 18 through Monday\, November 17.&nbsp\; Generously donated to Portland Japanese Garden in 2024 by Ann and Mark Edlen\, this artwork was originally debuted at the Garden in 2012 as part of the exhibition Bamboo Art: Meditation and Transformation\, which showcased Crumpacker’s artwork alongside two other contemporary bamboo artists\, Charissa Brock and Jiro Yonezawa. The Cultural Corner can be visited on the first floor of the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center in the Garden’s Cultural Village.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe Garden is thrilled to showcase this installation\, a custom arrangement devised by Crumpacker specifically designed with the Cultural Corner in mind. Bamboo is a material with a long and rich history in Japanese art and culture\, and is an iconic element of Portland Japanese Garden’s own garden landscape and scenes. Crumpacker’s Cross Currents evokes the flexible and organic qualities of bamboo as a material through an intricate arrangement of cross-cut pieces in patterns that bring to mind natural forms of a breeze moving across water\, or a field of grass bending in the wind.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nRhythm\, light\, and pattern: we hope you pause during your visit to watch the autumn light fall across the intricate surface of this artwork and experience the beauty of bamboo as a sculptural medium.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n"Cross Currents" by Anne Crumpacker. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nYou can view more of Anne Crumpacker’s artwork at her website\, www.crumpackerbambooart.com.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nArtist Statement&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n"Cross Currents" by Anne Crumpacker. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nTwenty years ago\, in Tokyo\, I stepped into a freshly cut\, monumental bamboo installation created by Hiroshi Teshigahara. In that moment I experienced a palpable elevation\, the sense of deep order and connection present in a sanctuary or sacred place. Since then bamboo has enchanted me\, as it has artists and artisans for thousands of years.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nMy work interweaves scale and proportion—thin\, medium and thick crosscut bamboo sections\, the interplay of light and shadow—to create living topographies. My long immersion in Japanese aesthetics guides me as I work intuitively\, following a path of discovery.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn developing the crosscut bamboo technique\, I am contributing a new approach to a venerable material. Deconstructing bamboo into crosscut slices reveals its cellular makeup and illuminates its natural beauty and strength. Assembling the pieces allows patterns and rhythms to emerge that reflect the interconnection of forces in nature\, from microscopic life to wave movement. Interconnectedness is the source\, the revelation\, and the energy I seek to express in all of my work.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAnne Crumpacker&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAnne Crumpacker. Photo courtesy of Anne Crumpacker.\n\n\n\nAnne Crumpacker holds a bachelor of arts from Scripps College and a master of arts in liberal studies from Reed College\, as well as a teaching credential from University of California\, Berkeley. She is a member of the first graduating class of the MFA program in Applied Craft and Design from Oregon College of Art and Craft + Pacific Northwest College of Art.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCrumpacker’s wide-ranging arts administration and curatorial experience includes professional and volunteer work\, primarily at Contemporary Crafts\, Portland Center for the Visual Arts\, and the Portland Art Museum. In June 2010 she interned with Doug and Mike Starn on the acclaimed Big Bambú installation on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Anne has been a student of Ikebana for over 15 years. Her passion for travel\, exploration and learning has taken her throughout Asia\, Europe\, Africa and South America. She credits experiences in Japan as a profound influence on her art and life.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nCrumpacker received the American Bamboo Society 2012 Arts and Crafts Award.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJimin Lee\, Studio Assistant  Statement&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAnne Crumpacker and Jimin Lee. Photo courtesy of Anne Crumpacker.\n\n\n\nI was born and raised in Seoul\, South Korea. Being an only child\, I spent a great deal of time solitarily surrounded by piles of collected poems and novels belonging to my parents. Almost everyday I opened a literary work and absorbed a word or two\, or even a sentence\, and began drawing whatever I felt in a sketchbook. My insatiable curiosity led me to study drawing and painting\, and I came to the United States in my early 20s to follow my dream of becoming a painter. I started taking painting classes at Portland Community College\, however\, when I touched clay\, it became my primary material as a way to talk to people. When I transferred to the Oregon College of Art and Craft to pursue pottery\, I met Thomas Orr. Through his advice\, I was able to start to open up my eyes and mind\, and even face myself. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIn 2017\, I completed a year-long Emerging Artist Mentorship Program (EAMP) at Ash Street Project (ASP) in Portland\, Oregon run by Thomas Orr. Through this program\, I moved towards new ways of expressing my narrative voice and had my first solo show. Soon after joining the Oregon Potters Association (OPA) in 2013\, I began participating in the Ceramics Showcase\, and my work was selected for display at the governor’s mansion in Salem\, Oregon where it’s been housed since 2016. I now maintain an active studio practice and exhibit nationally\, and am fortunate to have my functional and sculptural works in a number of regional collections. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSince 2011\, I have worked part-time as the studio assistant for Anne F. Crumpacker. We collaborate on the design and creation of works of art with bamboo as our primary medium\, and with powder-coated aluminum and glass luminaries as a new medium featuring the bamboo art aesthetic. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nOur historic waterfront studio is located in the Smith Block in Portland Oregon. Built in 1872. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nJimin Lee&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show
DESCRIPTION:\nCelebrating the Chrysanthemum Festival (Kiku Matsuri)\n\n\n\nPhoto by Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 25th\, 2025 / 10:00am – 5:30pm*\n\n\n\nSunday\, October 26th\, 2025 / 10:00am – 5:00pm*\n\n\n\n*This show will also be open during Member Hours starting at 9:00am\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIkebana International (Portland Chapter #47) celebrates the chrysanthemum in this special\, two-day only exhibition in the Yanai Classroom. Ikebana International first celebrated Kiku Matsuri\, the Chrysanthemum Festival\, at Portland Japanese Garden in 1983. Local ikebana artists from various schools\, or styles\, will create arrangements featuring chrysanthemums\, known as kiku in Japanese. On Sunday at 1:15 pm\, the show will also feature an ikebana demonstration by Nana Bellerud\, President of Ikebana International Portland Chapter #47\, in the Learning Center.\n\n\n\nKiku Matsuri\, or Choyo no Sekku\, observed in Japan on September 9\, is the final of the five seasonal Go-Sekku festivals in Japan's traditional lunar calendar. Chrysanthemums symbolize longevity\, dignity\, and nobility. A 16-petaled chrysanthemum even appears on the imperial family crest. The flower has been cultivated in Japan since it was first introduced in China in the 8th century. \n\n\n\nIkebana\, a Japanese artform\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nWelcome arrangement by Don Davidson\, Sogetsu Portland\n\n\n\nAbout Ikebana International \n\n\n\nIkebana International is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of ikebana. Ikebana International does not teach any single type of ikebana. Rather\, it is an interest group made up of people of many nationalities who enjoy ikebana and other arts of Japan.\n\n\n\nParticipating Schools (alphabetical order\; subject to change):\n\n\n\n\nOhara (小原流)\n\n\n\nSaga Goryu (嵯峨御流)\n\n\n\nSogetsu (草月)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana by Nana Bellerud
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPhoto courtesy of Nana Bellerud\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto by Curtis Patterson and Mitsuki Dazai
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Curtis Patterson and Mitsuki Dazai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nArtist Bios\n\n\n\nCurtis Patterson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA native of Chicago Illinois\, Curtis Patterson studied with modern koto great Tadao Sawai. He holds a master's license from the Sawai Koto Institute and is the first non-Japanese national to graduate from the NHK training program for young performers of traditional Japanese instruments. Currently residing in Tokyo where he also teaches koto and shamisen\, Patterson has performed with a wide variety of artists including screen actress Matsuzaka Keiko and popular singer/songwriter Kei Ogura.\n\n\n\nA member of the Sawai Tadao Koto Ensemble\, Soemon and the US based Koto Phase\, Patterson released a solo CD "Oto No Wa" in 2002 and was musical director for the 2005 documentary film "Magnificent Obsession: Frank Lloyd Wright's Buildings and legacy in Japan." Aside from his teaching activities\, and performances with various koto groups and other musicians\, Curtis is most active performing with shakuhachi player Bruce Huebner.\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMitsuki Dazai is a graduate of Tokyo’s Kunitachi College of Music\, studied koto with virtuoso Kazue Sawai\, and received her koto instruction certificate at Sawai Koto Institute. She moved to Oregon in 2002\, served as a guest lecturer\, and toured throughout the US\, Europe\, South America\, and Japan.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, Dazai was featured on Oregon Art Beat and released two CDs —&nbsp\;Autumn\, Music for Solo Koto&nbsp\;(2007) and&nbsp\;Far Away…Romances for Koto&nbsp\;(2010) with Grammy-nominated composer Michael Hoppe. She also appears on&nbsp\;Shanti Samsara: World Music for Environmental Consciousness\, produced by Grammy-winning Ricky Kej. In 2016\, she performed at the 21C Music Festival in Toronto.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the&nbsp\;Gagaku&nbsp\;court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional&nbsp\;Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Shakuhachi&nbsp\;(bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over. Learn more about the Koto.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Sogetsu Portland Fall Show
DESCRIPTION:\nAn arrangement from the 2024 show by Don Davidson\n\n\n\nSaturday\, November 15th\, 2025 / 10:00am – 4:30pm*\n\n\n\nSunday\, November 16th\, 2025 / 10:00am – 4:00pm*\n\n\n\n*This show will also be open during Member Hours starting at 9:00am\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School of Ikebana believes ikebana can be practiced anytime\, anywhere\, by anyone. Local artists from the Sogetsu Portland Branch will create a wide range of styles from basic to abstract which use objects of sculptural intent and character. The three main elements designers use are line\, mass\, and color\, with an emphasis on the designer’s individual artistic expression and creativity. Visit the Garden to see how their arrangements both suit and enhance the Yanai Classroom in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. \n\n\n\nOn Sunday at 1:15 pm\, the show will also feature an ikebana demonstration by Nana Bellerud\, Branch Director of Sogetsu Portland\, in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, a Japanese artform\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nA scene from the 2024 Sogetsu Portland Fall Show\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Toshiba International Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting with Torii Mor
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an exclusive evening wine tasting! For more than a decade\, Torii Mor has been the official winery of Portland Japanese Garden. In this special wine tasting held in our Cultural Village\, Torii Mor will present five of its best wines\, accompanied by light bites\, curated to complement their complex flavors. Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase the wines they will be tasting at the event’s conclusion.\n\n\n\nPaired with this special culinary event will be thoughts from Jon Tomaselli. Tomaselli\, a warm and engaging storyteller\, comes from a family with three generations of Italian winemakers—his earliest days in viticulture came at the age of 4. After moving to Oregon in 2006\, Tomaselli joined Torii Mor under the leadership of eighth-generation Burgundian winemaker Jacque Tardy. Tomaselli\, now Head Winemaker for Torii Mor\, will discuss wine making\, tasting\, and pairing.\n\n\n\nWine Tasting List\n\n\n\n\n2024 Pinot Blanc\n\n\n\n2023 Willamette Valley Chardonnay\n\n\n\n2023 Deux Verres\, Reserve Pinot Noir\n\n\n\n2023 Olson Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir\n\n\n\n2017 Syrah Port \n\n\n\n\nWinemaker Jon Tomaselli\n\n\n\nAbout Torii Mor\n\n\n\nOperating out of one of the oldest established vineyards in the Willamette Valley\, Torii Mor derives its name from the Torii gate that welcomes people in the property’s Japanese garden and “mor\,” a Scandinavian word meaning “earth” and a nod to the Nordic roots of its founder\, longtime Garden friend and supporter\, Dr. Donald Olson. The winery has been producing thousands of cases of high-quality Pinot Noir\, Pinot Gris\, and Chardonnay annually since its first vintage in 1993. Key to Torii Mor’s award-winning and delicious wines is the nature from which it is sourced: older vines at 800 feet in elevation in the rich Jory soil of the Dundee Hills.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto and Cello by SamaZama
DESCRIPTION:\nSamaZama Koto/Cello Duo is a collaboration of the Koto – a Japanese traditional musical instrument played By Masumi Timson and the Cello played by Joseph Harchanko. “Samazama” is the Japanese word for variety. The SamaZama Duo combines the esoteric nature of traditional and contemporary Japanese music with tango\, jazz\, blues and western classical music\, blending the instruments and music of Eastern and Western cultures in a moving and uncommon musical synthesis. Their music deftly unites these two widely divergent instruments through traditional and contemporary Koto works to create a vibrant musical soundscape that soothes and inspires.\nArtist Bios\nMasumi Timson\nMasumi Timson is a performer and instructor of the Koto and Shamisen – traditional musical instruments of Japan. She holds a Master’s Degree in Music with a specialization in the Koto and Shamisen from Seiha Conservatory of Japanese Traditional Music\, one of the most prestigious Koto schools in Japan. Masumi plays both classical and contemporary Koto music\, and also sings Japanese classical songs with Koto and Shamisen accompaniment. She also enjoys collaborating with various western musical instruments to explore a wide range of musical genres\, from jazz and tango\, to western classical compositions by Bach and Mozart. Masumi has participated in many recordings of Pink Martini\, and has performed with the band at various venues around the world\, including Carnegie Hall\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. She also directs the koto club at Willamette University and teaches Japanese language and culture at Chemeketa Community College. We’re truly fortunate to have her as a cultural partner.\nDr. Joseph Harchanko\nDr. Joseph Harchanko is an award-winning composer and cellist living and teaching in Salem\, Oregon. He received his D.M.A. in composition at The University of Texas and holds Masters degrees in cello and composition from The Florida State University. He has written extensively for traditional ensembles and digital media. His music has been described as both “energetic and exhilarating” and “mystically alluring.” Dr. Harchanko is principle cellist of the Salem Orchestra in Oregon and a founding member of the Salem Cello Quartet. He performs frequently with his teenage daughter\, Elena\, under the name String Theory Cello Duo. Many of his compositions and performances are inspired by western landscapes. His works have been performed across North and South America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia including performances at New York’s Carnegie Hall\, London’s Colourscape\, France’s Bourges and Videoformes festivals\, and New Music in Tasmania.\nAbout the Koto\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither. It was introduced to Japan from China through the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century. The instrument has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over one thousand years\, gradually becoming popular among the merchant classes of the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually gaining its place as one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today a varied repertoire along with a wide range of playing techniques provides a wonderful palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences the world over. Learn more about the Koto.\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute\, Tsugaru Shamisen & Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute\, Tsugaru shamisen and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Yumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugaru shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan. Both women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Koto and Storytelling by Oregon Koto-Kai
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a free koto performance by Oregon Koto-Kai at 1:15pm at the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. In this family-friendly performance\, and in celebration of O-Shogatsu\, performers will tell a traditional New Year’s themed Japanese story (Kasa Jizō)&nbsp\;accompanied by koto music.\n\n\n\nAbout the Koto\n\n\n\nThe standard Koto is a thirteen-string plucked zither introduced to Japan in the 7th century. It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually becoming one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today\, its varied repertoire and wide range of playing techniques provide a rich palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences worldwide. Learn more about Koto.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3vWmh5PP_4\n\n\n\n\nOREGON KOTO-KAI\n\n\n\nOregon Koto-Kai is a group passionate about the Japanese koto\, a 13-stringed zither with over 1000 years of history. Founded by Mitsuki Dazai in February 2012\, the ensemble performed its first concert in Portland\, Oregon. Since then\, they have performed throughout the state at venues like the Portland Japanese Garden\, Portland Rose Festival\, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Their mission is to introduce Japanese koto music to the broader community by providing concerts and lessons. They collaborate with local musicians\, improve players’ skills\, and add to the cultural diversity in the Northwest. Above all\, Oregon Koto-Kai seeks to share their passion of koto with their community and beyond.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is celebrating O-Shogatsu throughout the beginning of January!

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: 兆し(Kizashi): Signs of the Year to Come\, by Saga Goryu Ikebana North America Chapter
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is hosting a special ikebana presentation by Saga Goryu Ikebana North America Chapter from 1:15–2:15 PM in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. We all observe the changing of the year together—a nearly universal\, shared experience. With preparation\, we can shape perception and transform a simple calendar change into a ritual. This program explores how Japanese New Year traditions express preparation and welcome through the living art of ikebana. Ikebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, is more than decoration. It is a practice of harmonizing nature\, intention\, and form.\n\n\n\nThe program will begin with a presentation of a rarely seen New Year ritual named uzue. Uzue is a Shintō practice dating back to Japan’s Heian period (794-1185)\, focused on purification\, protection\, and readiness. The presentation will then move into the creation of a shōchikubai: pine\, bamboo\, and plum arranged in the classical seika style\, expressing endurance\, flexibility\, and renewal as a way of dwelling in the year ahead. Whereas uzue functions as a ritual threshold preparing the space and the moment\, shōchikubai expresses how one dwells in the year that has begun.\n\n\n\nAbout Saga Goryu\n\n\n\nSaga Goryu Ikebana traces its roots back over 1\,200 years to Emperor Saga and the early Buddhist flower offerings (kuge) at Daikaku-ji Temple\, his former imperial villa in Kyoto. These practices—meditative acts of devotion—were not yet ikebana in the artistic sense\, but they embodied a core spirit of offering\, reverence\, and harmony with nature that continues in the school’s philosophy today.\n\n\n\nAs one of Japan’s oldest ikebana lineages\, Saga Goryu continues to express seasonal awareness and natural form while honoring its spiritual and imperial heritage. Its signature arrangement styles—such as Shōgonka\, meaning “flower of solemn dignity”—reveal the quiet power and contemplative beauty of this tradition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank&nbsp\;The Miller Foundation&nbsp\;for their support of arts and culture programming.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Tour
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPortland Japanese Garden members touring the Sand and Stone Garden. Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members.

SUMMARY:Where Cultures Meet in Nature: The Story of Japanese Gardens in the West
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nWhy have Japanese gardens captured the imagination of Western audiences for centuries? Why is our present moment a pivotal juncture in the story of the growth and evolution of Japanese gardens?\n\n\n\nJoin Professor Kendall Brown (California State University Long Beach) and Garden Curator Hugo Torii for a conversation about the forces that have shaped the story of Japanese gardens from their origins in Japan to their present popularity in diverse communities around the world. This timely webinar\, presented in the final months of our current exhibition Designing Nature: Elements of Harmony\, will offer a deeper look at the point where the exhibition leaves off\, continuing the fascinating story of Japanese garden design evolution with the globalization of Japanese gardens through the World Fairs\, the migration of Japanese horticulturalists to America\, and taking a look at where we find ourselves in the present during an exciting moment in Garden design history. As Portland Japanese Garden enters 2026 and the 63rd anniversary of its founding\, this history is interwoven with the fabric of the Garden and momentous developments to come as we continue to inspire harmony and peace.\n\n\n\nFor long-time garden enthusiasts as well as those curious to take the first step down this fascinating and unfolding story\, don’t miss this conversation between garden experts at the intersection of nature\, culture\, and art.\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nProfessor Kendall Brown\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKendall&nbsp\;Brown&nbsp\;is Emeritus Professor of Asian Art History at California State University Long Beach. A Japanese art historian\, he publishes actively in several areas of Japanese art. He has also organized exhibitions for several American museums on topics from modern woodblock prints to Art Deco. &nbsp\;Most recent was “Songs for Modern Japan” on sheet music cover illustration\, for the MFA Boston in 2024.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Tour
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPortland Japanese Garden members touring the Sand and Stone Garden. Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.\n

It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868). An important member of the traditional Sankyoku ensemble\, along with the three-string Shamisen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute)\, the Koto developed further in a solo capacity\, eventually becoming one of Japan’s most prominent musical instruments. Today\, its varied repertoire and wide range of playing techniques provide a rich palette of sound textures\, making the Koto appealing to audiences worldwide.

SUMMARY:Modern Kintsugi Workshop with Emi Joyce
DESCRIPTION:\nRepaired ceramics\, photo courtesy of Emi Joyce\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is partnering with Emi Joyce\, a Portland-based kintsugi restorer and instructor\, to provide two modern kintsugi workshops on Saturday\, February 7. Kintsugi (金継ぎ\, gold joinery) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. In this centuries-old practice\, fractures transform from hidden weak points into beautiful golden elements worth celebrating. The philosophy of kintsugi teaches us to embrace imperfections in our life and appreciate the beauty of human flaws. While the traditional method used by experts is challenging and requires cautious handling of materials like urushi lacquer\, the “modern” kintsugi method uses accessible materials and is ideal for beginners.\n\n\n\nParticipants can register for the morning session (9:30am – 12:30pm) or the afternoon session (1:30pm – 4:30pm). Each workshop will include three hours of instruction. Participation is limited to 12 students for each session. Beginners are welcome.\n\n\n\nNOTE: If this workshop needs to be postponed due to inclement weather\, the make-up date will be the following Saturday\, February 14\, 2026.\n\n\n\nAll supplies will be provided as part of the price of admission to this workshop\, including a broken ceramic vessel. Please bring a cardboard box or something similar that will allow you to carry your items home without touching the repaired parts. Please also note that the ceramic vessel you will be repairing is not food safe—it is intended for display only.\n\n\n\nNOTE: Participants are also welcome to bring their own damaged glazed ceramics\, but please review the following guidelines:\n\n\n\n\nThe item must be 10 inches or smaller.\n\n\n\nThe material must be ceramic or porcelain.\n\n\n\nPlease do not bring glass\, wood\, damaged family heirlooms\, or items broken into more than four pieces.\n\n\n\nChips must be half an inch or less. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emi Joyce:\n\n\n\nPhoto of Emi Joyce\, taken by Alexandra Hughes\n\n\n\nEmi Joyce\, formerly a full-time bench jeweler and apparel designer\, is currently a kintsugi restorer and instructor\, repairing hundreds of broken ceramics and regularly teaching kintsugi in Portland\, Oregon. Her lifelong craftsmanship and knowledge of fine motor skills moved on to repair ceramics. Instead of creating new products\, Joyce loves mending damaged\, but precious objects to give them new life. In 2010\, her pursuits in textile education\, a fine jewelry career\, and experimental music scenes eventually led her to leave her birthplace of Tokyo\, Japan to settle in Portland\, Oregon\, where greater access to nature changed her life. You can learn more about Joyce’s kintsugi work on her Instagram: @portlandkintsugirepair.\n\n\n\nFeedback from past students:\n\n\n\nEmi explained her process very well and made it accessible. I was hoping it would be feasible for me to do at home on my own\, it absolutely is!\n\n\n\nVery clear demonstration of technique and well-organized teacher and materials\n\n\n\nSo easy to follow\, step by step. Great instructor. It was a relaxing class but I also learned a lot of new info!\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Moss Appreciation Week
DESCRIPTION:\nAn especially mossy part of the Strolling Pond Garden at Portland Japanese Garden. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is joining Lewis &amp\; Clark College in the beloved annual tradition they started: Moss Appreciation Week. Here at the Garden\, we are honoring moss and inviting visitors to experience its quiet magic.\n\n\n\nMoss has been a beloved element of Japanese gardens since the Heian period (794-1185). &nbsp\;Moss emerges where shade\, moisture\, soil\, and stillness find their quiet balance. In Japanese gardens\, moss is not typically planted or imposed upon the landscape. It is recognized as an existing presence\, something already woven into the environment and then tended to. The presence of moss signals a successful harmony between human care and mother nature. \n\n\n\nVisitors can enjoy a special display of moss at the Ellie M. Hill Bonsai Terrace with additional fun facts to help enhance your knowledge of this important plant. Nearby in the Lemelson Family Studio\, explore the diversity of moss through a hands-on moss petting zoo\, curated by John Christy\, Herbarium Manager\, Portland State University Herbarium.\n\n\n\nWe also invite you to step into the Umami Café&nbsp\;and try a moss&nbsp\;yokan made by Yume Confections\, offered exclusively during Moss Appreciation Week. Additionally\, our&nbsp\;Gift Shop&nbsp\;will have a curated moss-themed display featuring books\, candles\, mini terrariums\, and more!\n\n\n\nFor activities during Moss Appreciation Week at Lewis &amp\; Clark College\, see here.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Moss is the essence of a Japanese garden.” - Josho Toga\, Head Priest of Tenryu-ji Temple in Kyoto\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to Nakamoto Forestry for providing the beautiful yakisugi boards at our Ellie M. Hill Bonsai Terrace.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute\, Tsugaru Shamisen & Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute\, Tsugaru shamisen and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Yumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugaru shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan. Both women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Talk: Hina Dolls by Tsuru Tuenge
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nLeading up to our Doll’s Day Festival on March 1st\, come hear Tsuru Tuenge talk about hina dolls and Hina Matsuri from 1:15-2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. This talk will take place near a traditional display of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls\, featuring a seven-tiered display representing the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court.\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. In Japan\, families with daughters mark the festival by displaying intricately crafted hina dolls dressed in ornate costumes several days before the festival.\n\n\n\nHina dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds the two imperial dolls. The Emperor holds a ritual baton and the Empress a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin bayashi) each holding a musical instrument\, except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin and sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces.\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nTsuru Tuenge\, volunteer (right) assists Kelsey Cleveland\, Cultural Programs Manager\, in unboxing hina dolls for the Garden's celebration of Hina Matsuri (Doll's Day) in 2023. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.\n\n\n\nTsuru Tuenge\, who grew up in the ancient capital of Nara\, is one of Portland Japanese Garden’s beloved volunteers and is passionate about sharing Japanese culture with visitors. Since 2017\, she has devoted 1\,000 hours to the organization leading tours\, monitoring Garden grounds\, being a docent on its Ellie M. Hill Bonsai Terrace and helping prepare and support its cultural events.

Paper or straw&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition\, called&nbsp\;nagashi bina\, still takes place in some regions in Japan.\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents purchase a set of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\,&nbsp\;the dolls are passed down from previous generations.\n\n\n\nThe Hina Matsuri doll display in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.

Paper or straw hina dolls were set afloat on boats down the river and out to sea\, sweeping away troubles and bad spirits. This tradition\,&nbsp\;called nagashi&nbsp\;bina\, still takes place in some regions in Japan.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe tradition of displaying hina dolls at home began during the Edo period (1603-1868) and still takes place today. Traditionally\, parents or grandparents&nbsp\;purchase&nbsp\;a set of hina dolls following the birth of a girl. In some instances\, the dolls are passed down from&nbsp\;previous&nbsp\;generations. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nHina&nbsp\;dolls are displayed on a tiered platform (hina&nbsp\;dan) covered with a red carpet (dankake). The top tier holds&nbsp\;the two&nbsp\;imperial dolls. The&nbsp\;Emperor&nbsp\;holds a ritual baton and the Empress&nbsp\;a fan. The following tiers hold their attendants: the second tier holds three court ladies (san-nin&nbsp\;kanjo). Each lady holds ceremonial sake equipment. The third tier holds five court musicians (gonin&nbsp\;bayashi) each holding a musical instrument\,&nbsp\;except the singer who holds a fan. The fourth tier holds two ministers (udaijin&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;sadaijin)\, the one on the right (Minister of the Left) being older and higher ranking. The three court attendees (sannin&nbsp\;jogo) on the fifth tier each show angry\, merry\, and sad faces.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThe five court musicians.

Celebrate the year of the horse with us as we use the meditative art of hand-stitching to construct a Japanese-inspired bag. Relax and enjoy the rhythmic dance of needle and thread\, drawing inspiration from the Japanese traditional craft of omiyage\, darling and whimsical gifts crafted from scraps of beautiful fabric.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Tour
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPortland Japanese Garden members touring the Sand and Stone Garden. Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.\n

SUMMARY:Katazome (Japanese Stencil Dyeing) with Traditional Pigment Dyes Workshop with Karen Illman Miller
DESCRIPTION:\nA quilt made by Karen Miller featuring examples of family crests (kamon) dyed with natural pigments \n\n\n\nFor 500 years\, Japanese kimono and textiles have been produced with paper stencils. Katazome is a Japanese technique of dyeing fabrics or paper using a resist paste made of rice flour applied to fabric through a stencil. “Kata” means pattern\, and “zome” means dying. Portland Japanese Garden is partnering with Karen Illman Miller\, a Corvallis-based katazome artist who has worked in the artform since 1994\, to provide an introductory workshop. Miller describes katazome\, Japanese stencil dyeing\, as “a process more like printmaking than painting.”  \n\n\n\nMany formal&nbsp\;kimonos feature&nbsp\;kamon\, family crests&nbsp\;that often include simple nature motifs.&nbsp\;Inspired by family crest designs\, participants will learn to cut traditional&nbsp\;katazome&nbsp\;stencils\, apply resist paste and stretch silk fabric in hoops in preparation for multicolor painting with&nbsp\;soy based&nbsp\;pigments. &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nStudents will&nbsp\;dye two different&nbsp\;multi-colored&nbsp\;crest designs on silk brocade fabric&nbsp\;using the&nbsp\;bingata&nbsp\;style of&nbsp\;katazome&nbsp\;from Okinawa. The style is known for using bright mineral pigments and soymilk.\n\n\n\nRegistration Info\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\n\nMembers: $160Public: $200\n\n\n\nOn Sale Dates\n\n\n\nGolden Crane: 1/28Members 2/4Public 2/11\n\n\n\nParticipation is limited to 12 students.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAll tools and materials are included in the workshop fee.

Photo by Jen Bielat.\n\n\n\nKaren Miller&nbsp\;was a marine biologist&nbsp\;at Oregon State University and her art is often inspired by her scientific background. Her interest in textiles and Japan dates extends back to her childhood. In 1994\, she was introduced to&nbsp\;katazome&nbsp\;and carved her first stencil\, which was a turning point in her artistic life. She studied the craft with American&nbsp\;katazome&nbsp\;expert John Marshall and began carving stencils using mostly traditional Japanese patterns. Now using&nbsp\;her own hand-cut&nbsp\;and personally designed&nbsp\;stencils\,&nbsp\;Miller&nbsp\;produces fabric for art quilts\, silk garments\, linen hangings\, and indigo-dyed cottons.&nbsp\;She is passionate about the patterns found&nbsp\;in natural forms&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;detailed biological images like tree branches\, leaf skeletons\, or marine animals\, and especially the abstractions nature produces.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nMiller’s&nbsp\;work has been&nbsp\;exhibited&nbsp\;twice in Japan&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;numerous&nbsp\;private and public collections.&nbsp\;Her art&nbsp\;was hung in the Washington D.C. office of Jane Lubchenco\, the head of&nbsp\;the U.S.&nbsp\;National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration&nbsp\;(NOAA)&nbsp\;during&nbsp\;the first Obama administration. She has taught&nbsp\;katazome&nbsp\;nationally and internationally and has published several articles. She was featured on&nbsp\;Oregon Public Broadcasting’s&nbsp\;Oregon Art Beat&nbsp\;in October 2007.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is pleased to welcome artist Karen Miller back\, following&nbsp\;her&nbsp\;highly successful&nbsp\;exhibition&nbsp\;Natural Patterns&nbsp\;and past&nbsp\;katazome&nbsp\;workshop.&nbsp\;\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute\, Tsugaru Shamisen & Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute\, Tsugaru shamisen and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Yumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugaru shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan. Both women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Tour
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPortland Japanese Garden members touring the Sand and Stone Garden. Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.\n

DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin woodblock artist and expert printmaker\, April Vollmer\, and Stephen Salel\, Curator of Japanese Art at the Honolulu Museum of Art to take a closer look at the iconic art of&nbsp\;mokuhanga\, Japanese woodblock printing.&nbsp\;This&nbsp\;personal&nbsp\;tour of&nbsp\;Enduring Impressions: Contemporary Woodblock Prints&nbsp\;will&nbsp\;introduce you to the art form&nbsp\;as well as its contemporary practice&nbsp\;and include&nbsp\;a Q&amp\;A session.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephen Salel &nbsp\;is&nbsp\;the Robert F. Lange Foundation Curator of Japanese Art at the Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA). He received his MA in Art History from the University of Washington\, Seattle\, where he specialized in early modern Japanese painting. In addition to Enduring Impressions: Contemporary Woodblock Prints\, which were displayed at&nbsp\;HoMA&nbsp\;August 30–December 14\, 2025\, past exhibitions include Lyrically Rebellious: The Prints of&nbsp\;Onchi&nbsp\;Kōshirō (August 23\, 2025–April 12\, 2026). Salel’s recent publications include “One Hundred Dystopian Views of Japan: Urban Poverty in the Graphic Narratives of Tsuge Tadao” and&nbsp\;“From Expressions of Religious Devotion to Comic Art: The Evolution of&nbsp\;Sugoroku&nbsp\;Imagery\,” both in Impressions: The Journal of the Japanese Art Society of America (No. 44\, Part 2\, Autumn 2023 and No. 45\, Part 2\, Autumn 2024\, respectively).&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril Vollmer&nbsp\;is an artist\, author\, and educator who&nbsp\;has practiced&nbsp\;mokuhanga&nbsp\;for over 30 years. She has visited Japan multiple times to deepen her knowledge\, including as an artist-in-residence at the Nagasawa Art Park program in 2004 and MI-LAB in 2013.

For&nbsp\;Enduring Impressions\, she shared a series based on images of local birds flying over California’s native coastal vegetation: wild cucumber\, primrose\, and tule. While she often explores&nbsp\;themes around how nature is affected by climate change\, pollution\, population&nbsp\;pressure&nbsp\;and over-development\, her&nbsp\;underlying motif is pattern-based. Her work examines the interconnections of plants and animals and how they are&nbsp\;impacted&nbsp\;through fluctuations of climate\, tide\, and migration.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nMajor support provided by:\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Akari\, Ikebana Display Presented by Saga Goryu School North America Chapter
DESCRIPTION:\nSaga Goryu's 2026 installation - Akari\n\n\n\nShakamuni Buddha’s birthday is commemorated on the eighth day of the fourth month. In Japan\, this celebration is called Hana Matsuri. Saga Goryu North America Chapter will offer an ikebana installation for Hana Matsuri at Portland Japanese Garden from April 8 through 11. Members and guests who pay admission can enjoy this special display in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard.\n\n\n\nThe theme of this year’s ikebana installation is akari\, or “bright\,” which was inspired by the Imperial New Year’s Poetry Reading.\n\n\n\nHis Majesty the Emperor composed the following waka poem for the event:\n\n\n\nWatching the morning star\n\n\n\nShining high in the sky\n\n\n\nI pray sincerely for\n\n\n\nPeace in the new year\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” It dates to the sixth century when China and Korea introduced Buddhism to Japan. Floral offerings\, known as kuge\, were placed on the altar of temples.\n\n\n\nAkari (明): Reflected Light\, Perception\, and Presence\n\n\n\nAkari (明) is often translated as “light” or “brightness\,” but the meaning is more nuanced within a Japanese aesthetic and philosophical context. The character 明 is composed of the elements for sun (日) and moon (月)\, suggesting light that arises through relationship rather than from a single source. In this sense\, akari is not simply illumination\, but the experience of light as it emerges within darkness—made perceptible through contrast\, shadow\, and the conditions that allow it to be seen.\n\n\n\nIn this ikebana installation\, light is approached indirectly. Rather than presenting light as a dominant force\, the work explores how light is received\, reflected\, and perceived\, revealing a sensibility in which subtlety and suggestion invite deeper attention.\n\n\n\nA bamboo sphere representing the moon rests at the center of the arrangement. Created by bamboo artist Jiro Yonezawa and donated by the late Ken Pincus\, the sphere recalls a celestial body that does not produce its own light\, but reflects the light of the sun. In an outdoor setting\, this relationship becomes immediate as the sphere receives and reflects natural light\, shifting with time and atmosphere. In doing so\, it transforms a distant source into something softer and more contemplative.\n\n\n\nThe sphere is elevated on driftwood\, creating the impression of suspension. Shaped by water and time\, the driftwood introduces a sense of natural process and impermanence.\n\n\n\nWeeping mulberry is placed horizontally\, offering a quiet suggestion of clouds and gently framing the moon. Its lateral movement establishes a soft horizon and gives form to ma (間)—the meaningful space between elements—where light is partially obscured and revealed again.\n\n\n\nSuspended from the bamboo sphere are crystal prisms and a wind chime\, suggesting the gogyō (五行)\, or Five Elements: Wood\, Fire\, Earth\, Metal\, and Water. These are understood as dynamic processes describing how phenomena arise\, interact\, and change. The prisms refract light into shifting patterns as their sparkle catches the viewer’s eye\, revealing the fleeting nature of light. The wind chime responds to air\, introducing subtle sound and movement. Together\, these elements are experienced through interaction—light\, sound\, material\, and space in relationship.\n\n\n\nThe arrangement invites a moment of stillness. Light shifts\, sound appears and fades\, and forms seem both present and suspended. Within this space\, viewers are encouraged to slow down and notice how light emerges\, how it changes\, and how meaning arises through perception. Akari is not only something we see\, but something we experience: a quiet awareness of light within darkness\, and of presence within the space we share.\n\n\n\nMore About the Saga Goryu School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Saga Goryu School\, started by Emperor Saga\, founder of Daikakuji Temple in Kyoto\, aims to introduce visual and spiritual pleasure into daily life. To do this\, the School teaches techniques of floral decoration\, and the skills to recognize the delicate beauty of flowers and their artistic value. According to Saga Goryu\, ikebana is more than a classical art of ancient origin to be appreciated by an exclusive group of specialists. It is an art form that is still relevant today.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Ikebana by Nana Bellerud
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPhoto courtesy of Nana Bellerud\n\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an ikebana presentation by Nana Bellerud from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nAbout The Sogetsu School\n\n\n\nThe Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to explore new ideas and materials. The founder\, Sofu Teshigahara\, broke away from tradition in 1927 to establish his new school based on the belief that anyone can create ikebana anywhere\, and with almost anything. The Sogetsu philosophy advocates that ikebana should be part of a lifestyle\, appreciated by many people from all over the world\, rather than being considered an exclusive aspect of Japanese culture to be enjoyed by a limited number of people.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Introductory Ikebana Workshop with Carolyn Alter\, Ohara School of Ikebana\, Oregon Chapter
DESCRIPTION:\nA Moribana Upright Style with spring flowers by Carolyn Alter.\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter\, Head Teacher of the&nbsp\;Ohara School of Ikebana’s Oregon Chapter\, will bring the beauty of&nbsp\;kado (the way of flowers) to Portland Japanese Garden by teaching an introductory workshop. Students will receive a creative outlet\, a respite from the fast speed of life\, as well as the chance to connect with nature\, nurture their spirit\, and learn about an aspect of Japanese culture.\n\n\n\nIkebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangements. Workshop instructor Carolyn Alter will teach students how to “bring the essence of nature into their arrangements.” \n\n\n\nThe workshop will include a lecture on the basic principles of ikebana—its history\, aesthetics\, and mechanics—along with a demonstration by Carolyn and hands-on time for the students to create. Participants will learn basic Moribana Upright based on the curriculum set forth by the Ohara School of Ikebana. \n\n\n\nStudents create their own arrangement in a previous ikebana workshop. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden\n\n\n\nAbout Carolyn Alter:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn Alter began studying in the Ohara School of Ikebana under Sensei Kitty (Natsue) Akre in 1993. She began teaching weekly classes and founded Wednesday’s Flowers in 2012. She is a long-time member of Portland Japanese Garden\, Ikebana International and the North American Ohara Teachers Association. She has attended numerous ikebana conferences in the US and taken classes in Japan\, chaired many exhibitions\, given numerous demonstrations\, and is certified as a First Term Master of the Ohara School of Ikebana. She is also the Head Teacher and Vice-President of the Oregon Chapter of the Ohara School. As a retired physical therapist\, she appreciates the healing aspects of nature through practicing ikebana. She loves being outdoors\, gardening\, and the beauty of Japanese culture.\n\n\n\nAbout the Ohara School of Ikebana\n\n\n\nThe Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season\, utilizing the materials’ individual character\, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for&nbsp\;moribana\, which broke with more traditional and formal vertical styles\, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements\, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.\n\n\n\nFeedback from past students:\n\n\n\nIt was a wonderfully supportive introduction in a gorgeous setting\, with high quality instruction and materials.\n\n\n\nGreat class. Carolyn’s so good at explanation and encouragement.\n\n\n\nI didn’t know anything about ikebana prior to this class\, and I learned so much.\n\n\n\nI appreciated the history in the first class. The approach in the class was great -&nbsp\; demonstration\, action\, correction.\n\n\n\nI’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time and I am so grateful that the PJG is offering it!\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Tour
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPortland Japanese Garden members touring the Sand and Stone Garden. Photo by Peter Friedman.\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate tour focuses not on meditation\, but instead on learning to bring mindful awareness to oneself\, and the world around us\, through intentional observation and connections.\n\n\n\nAn experienced guide will provide a foundation for the art of contemplative exploration throughout various Garden spaces\, and gently guide awareness away from the busyness of everyday life\, back toward the connection to nature and experience of peace.\n\n\n\nEach tour will be slightly unique to focus on the current season\, weather (occurs rain or shine)\, and garden spaces. However\, these tours are designed and intended to help members continue to enhance future Garden visits through independent mindful practice through all seasons.\n\n\n\nTours will begin in the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard starting at 9:00am\, and typically last about 45-60 minutes.\n\n\n\nSpace limited to 10 members. Reservations are required and restricted to a maximum of two per person regardless of membership level.\n

It has been part of the Gagaku court ensemble for over a thousand years\, becoming popular among the merchant classes in the Edo period (1600-1868).

SUMMARY:Cultural Performance: Shinobue Flute\, Tsugaru Shamisen & Piano Performance by Maido Mind
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free musical performance featuring shinobue flute\, Tsugaru shamisen and a piano performance by Maido Mind. This cultural performance will be held from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Yumi Torimaru and Nozomi Imade\, who come from profoundly different musical backgrounds\, formed Maido Mind in 2022. Yumi studied traditional Japanese instruments including taiko drum\, shinobue (bamboo flutes)\, and Tsugaru shamisen (Japanese lute). Classically trained Nozomi started studying piano at the age 3 and studied vocal music at a prestigious music university in Japan. Both women were born and raised in the Kansai region of Japan. In the Kansai dialect\, “Maido” is a versatile word used as a greeting\, a farewell\, and a thank you. The mind enables a person to be aware of the world and their experiences: to think and to feel. Maido Mind\, with Yumi on shinobue and Nozomi’s piano and vocal performance\, offers a wide variety of music\, from tradition to modern\, standard to original\, and Japanese to Western.\n\n\n

Oregon and Washington are home to three of the nine specialty nurseries specializing in Japanese irises in the United States.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nSpuria\, according to the American Iris Society’s encyclopedia\, “are tall (2 to 5 feet in height) and elegant\, and have very attractive foliage.”&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the Garden transforms into a picturesque greenscape\, the Japanese iris provide a pop of color as the harbinger of summer. The buds open in late June to reveal flowers nearly six inches across in shades of purple and white. Symbolizing purity and innocence\, the narrow iris leaf resembles the shape of a samurai sword blade.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden would like to thank The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation for their support of arts and culture programming.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n

Over the years\, she studied in both Japan and America\, receiving her teaching degree from Urasenke Foundation in Kyoto\, Japan\, in 1989. She specializes in blending the traditional philosophy and movements of Chado with contemporary views of the Ceremony itself. Jan is the President of the Urasenke Wakai Tankokai Association and is currently teaching the Way of Tea privately as well as at Lewis &amp\; Clark College. \n\n\n\nAbout Urasenke \n\n\n\nUrasenke&nbsp\;Konnichian&nbsp\;of Kyoto is one of the major establishments within Japan that has preserved the tradition of Chado or the Way of Tea.  From the first&nbsp\;Urasenke&nbsp\;generation\, Sen no Rikyu (1522-91) to the current headmaster&nbsp\;Zabosai&nbsp\;Genmoku&nbsp\;Soshitsu&nbsp\;XVI (b.1956 -)\, the Sen family lineage has devoted great effort to fostering the philosophy of Tea through the simple words of&nbsp\;Wa&nbsp\;- Harmony\, Kei -Repect\, Sei - Purity &amp\; Jaku - Tranquility. Over the&nbsp\;years&nbsp\;Urasenke&nbsp\;has&nbsp\;established&nbsp\;connections in over&nbsp\;21&nbsp\;cities worldwide.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nFeedback from past&nbsp\;students:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJan was a wonderful teacher. She really unfurled the tea leaves to reveal more of the complexity of flavors and aromas within. So much beautiful complexity and thoughtfulness&nbsp\;lies&nbsp\;just below the surface of the experience and now I have a sense of how much there is to learn and appreciate.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nIt was&nbsp\;just right&nbsp\;for an introduction focused on the role of a guest.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nI feel like I can passably take part in a tea ceremony without causing unintentional offense.&nbsp\;\n\n\n
