The Portland Japanese Garden Find your inner peace at the Garden today. Enjoy some hot tea while you shop for last minute gifts at the Holiday Show and Sale... without the crowds and the hassle.

The Portland Japanese Garden The Portland Japanese Garden celebrates O-Shogatsu with a special family day on Sunday, January 10. Bring your family and friends for a hands-on experience with the practice of Kakizome, the traditional custom of writing of the first calligraphy characters of the New Year. Children in Japan are encouraged to write a fe...w characters with a new brush in the very best style they can for good luck with their studies over the coming year. Beautiful calligraphy is as highly appreciated as painting in Japan, but guided by Japanese interns of Richmond Elementary School, participants need no experience writing in Japanese to enjoy this traditional New Year's practice.

The Portland Japanese Garden Why shop at a crowded mall? Visit the Holiday Show & Sale at the Garden this week for unique gifts to fit every budget. Take a stroll through the 5 different Gardens. Have some tea. We're open until 4pm Christmas Eve!
Justin Blackwell I think I can bring many things from Japan to apply to my work in the Flat Garden, such as the elegant simplicity of the gardens at Nijo Castle...all the stones there are completely moss free!!
Justin Blackwell Japan is amazing! Have been to many gardens and temples. Saihoji (Koke dera) and Katsura Imperial Villa have been the high lights so far.

Lion’s Head Maple
This maple in the shadow of the Garden Pavilion bears the nickname shishi gashira, or lion’s head—calling to mind the shaggy masks worn by traditional lion dancers. Cedric Wiens Cedric Wiens

The Portland Japanese Garden
Keane’s Bontei exhibition at the Garden coincides with the Fall 2009 release of his latest book, The Japanese Tea Garden (Stonebridge Press), in which he describes the history, design, and aesthetics of tea gardens from T’ang China to the present day. With over 100 stunning photographs, floor plans, and illustrations, ...this is the most extensive book on this genre ever published in English. The Japanese Tea Garden is a rich resource for garden lovers, landscape designers, and architects–and anyone who admires the striking aesthetic of the Japanese garden. A book signing with the artist follows the lecture.

Julie My husband and I very much enjoyed our autumn trip through the garden on October 19th during our vacation to Oregon, and the fall colors were amazing! This photo was taken from the underside of a laceleaf maple (unsure of cultivar). Enjoy the unusual view!
