On August 4th, 2022, it was announced that Sadafumi (Sada) Uchiyama, Chief Curator of Portland Japanese Garden and Director of the International Japanese Garden Training Center, has been awarded the Foreign Minister’s Commendation from the Foreign Ministry of Japan. This award, one of the highest honors bestowed by the Japanese government, is given to individuals and groups with outstanding achievements in international fields, and acknowledges their contribution of friendship between Japan and other countries.

Congratulations, Sada!

Have you ever noticed this stone, tucked between bushes by the Sand and Stone Garden overlook? We call this the Haiku Stone, and it was a gift to the Garden from Dr. Yutaka Mizuhara, a famous Haiku poet who visited in the late 1960s. The poem reads:

“Here, miles from Japan
I stand as if warmed by the
spring sunshine of home”
