Princess Akiko Lauds Garden
Japan’s Leaders Gather to Recognize the
Portland Japanese Garden’s 50th Anniversary
Exactly according to plan, at 6:00 p.m. on May
30, at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a member
of Japan’s Imperial Guard tapped Garden CEO
Steve Bloom on the shoulder. On cue, Bloom
gathered other members of a pre-planned
welcoming committee and they arranged
themselves in a greeting line in the hotel lobby.
When Her Imperial Highness Princess
Akiko of Mikasa walked in, Bloom and the
evenings’ hosts bowed, shook hands, and
exchanged greetings. It was only a brief few
moments before the Imperial Guard whisked
the princess away to a private room to rest
before the evening full of music, speeches,
and toasts from many of the business,
cultural, and philanthropic elite of Japan. As
the elevator doors closed following the brief
encounter, Bloom thought to himself, “This is
a life moment.”
Back upstairs, the Copain Saxophone Quartet
performed American jazz and big band music,
setting the tone for the Portland Japanese
Garden’s 50th Anniversary Reception.
What was to unfold was an unprecedented
show of support for the Portland Japanese
Garden and its work as a unique vehicle for
cross-cultural communication—a place in
which the convergence of natural beauty
and Japanese garden arts and culture have
become the window and the teacher.
Co-hosts of the event were: Mr. Tadashi
Yanai, Chairman, President and CEO of
Fast Retailing Co. and his wife Mrs. Teruyo
Yanai; Mr. Koichi Nezu, Chairman of Tobu
Department Store Co. and his wife Mrs.
Mihoko Nezu; and world renowned architect,
Mr. Kengo Kuma. Also attending was
Japan’s Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.

A Very Special Behind the Shoji
Behind the Shoji, the Garden’s annual show and sale of Japaneseinspired art and crafts will feature new artists and new art from
longtime favorites. Japanese-inspired original artwork and unique
gifts will include jewelry, multi-media prints, scarves, stationery,
antiques, and ceramics.
Please note the koi release originally scheduled for August 14 has been
postponed. We noticed that the koi in the Lower Pond were experiencing some
stress and health issues, so we moved them to an off-site facility where they can
be observed and treated by a koi veterinarian as necessary. We are fortunate to
be working with Tim Miller-Morgan, an Extension Veterinarian for Oregon State
University at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. At the
same time, the gardeners have been able to do a yearly cleaning of the pond to
ensure that the koi have the best possible living environment when they return.
This year the Garden selected Pacific Northwest artists whose
handcrafted artwork and unique gifts incorporate imagery from
nature, are inspired by an appreciation of the four seasons, or serve
to ground us in appreciation of our daily lives.
t
An Introduction to Just One of the Artists
Terry Inokuma was raised in the 1970s by Japanese immigrant
parents. Her father endured three years interned at Tulelake,
during which time he learned watch repair, music, cooking, and
photography. Her mother, who grew up in Japan during the War, felt
the ground shake from the bombs and spent days on end picking up
grains of rice from abandoned rice fields.
O-Bon, the Spirit Festival
t
Sterling silver rings and necklaces by Dave Robertson invoke the
moon and wave patterns. Nana Kuo’s delicate porcelain bowls in
Asian glazes capture the cool blue of a snowy winter day while her
small porcelain fruit bowls are adorned by spring flowers. Textiles
include Sylvia Emard’s hand-woven shibori (shaped-resist dyeing)
scarves in rich hues. Décor includes what Terry Inokuma calls
Buddhist or Shinto “ritual pieces” such as her furin (wind chimes)
and suzu bells as well as singing bowls.

Over the past fifty years of the Garden’s history, thousands
of people in the community and in Japan have given their
time and their passion to support the Portland Japanese
Garden. This summer, we remember all those we have lost
over the years with a traditional Bon Odori dance and Toro
Nagashi lantern floating in honor of O-Bon, the spirit festival
celebrated in Japan and throughout Buddhist communities
in the U.S. at this time of year.
We are grateful to Ms. Sahomi Tachibana, the most accomplished
traditional Japanese dancer performing outside of Japan, who
leads the Bon Odori again this year. Born April 6, 1924, Ms.
Tachibana was sent from her home in Northern California to study
dance in Japan when she was just 11 years old. She returned in 1941
at the outbreak of WWII. In 1942, while interned at the Tulelake
War Relocation Center, she experienced Bon Odori in a way one
can hardly imagine–in the internment camp behind barbed wire.
The line of work Inokuma is offering at Behind the Shoji is motivated
by a desire to connect with her heritage.

The evening begins with brief remarks at 7:30 p.m. by Toshinari
Sato (see page 6) who will offer remembrances of his hometown in
Tohoku. We will include those lost among the ancestors we honor
at this year’s observance of O-Bon.
Over the years, her parents quietly instilled an appreciation of
Japanese aesthetics in Inokuma and her sister through everyday
traditions, foods, and utilitarian objects. Their childhood was very
tactile. She recalls spending hours in the attic looking at old photos,
jewels, and instruments from her father’s past. Daily life revolved
around food: growing, harvesting, fishing, gathering, and preparing.

Following the dance outside the gate, guests will proceed to the
Upper Pond for Toro Nagashi, or lantern floating in memory of
those who have gone before us. Hundreds of lanterns are floated
on the water at O-Bon to welcome spirits home because in Japan it
is believed that spirits visit their families at this time every year.
This event is accompanied by Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi’s
chanting of the elegant Myohorengekyo—the Lotus Sutra—by the
Upper Pond. Reverend Kodachi is professor emeritus of Japanese
language and literature at Lewis & Clark College where he was
responsible for building and growing Lewis & Clark’s Japanese
language program. He received an Imperial Japanese Decoration
in 2008 in honor of more than 40 years of work building cultural
bridges between the United States and Japan.
As a part of the ceremony, Reverend Kodachi will read the names
of friends and relatives of Garden members who passed away in
the previous year. If you would like to add the name of someone
who has passed away during the last year, please contact Kumiko

offered his personal perspective on the
garden’s work as a leading institution in
grass roots relations between Japan and

Portland Japanese garden’s work and

Mrs. Nezu and John Jay,

Closing the program was a toast given by Mr. Hiroyuki suzuki,
CEO, PricewaterhouseCoopers Japan. “the Portland Japanese
garden is a starring example of the results that can be achieved
when you combine the best spirit of two nations,” said Hiroyuki
suzuki. “In that spirit, raise your glasses in honor of the 50th
anniversary of the Portland Japanese garden.”
Fifty years young, the Portland Japanese garden has become
perhaps the world’s leading organization for Japanese garden
arts and culture. this was never more evident than on May 30th
as the leaders of Japan gathered in force to honor the garden in
true style. the pursuit of our mission has brought us to this place
of prominence, of excellence, and of growth, and with the help
of our supporters and members here in Portland and across the
Pacific in Japan, the garden will continue to thrive and grow.
the celebration now turns to home, and we hope you will join
us as we look forward to the Portland Japanese garden’s Black
tie gala in Celebration of the garden’s 50th Anniversary at the
Portland Art Museum this October 19th.

Toshinari Sato is an intern at the Portland
Japanese Garden for ten weeks through
the Kizuna Project, a U.S. Department of
State program sponsored by the Japanese
government. Toshinari is a 20-year-old
college student at Miyagi University. He is
studying Spatial Design and Information
Systems and has an interest in non-profit
organizations.
His hometown, Shichigahama (pop.
20,396), is situated on a peninsula in
Miyagi prefecture and was severely
affected by the tsunami two years ago.
He waited days, unable to contact his
family, before the waters receded
enough that he could return home. The
community still struggles to regain
normalcy as close to 900 people
remain in temporary housing.
The purpose of the Kizuna Project is to promote understanding of Japan’s recovery
after the earthquake, to deepen the understanding of Japan in the U.S., and to develop
the next generation who will take leading roles in future bilateral relations with a global
perspective. The Portland Japanese Garden is honored to have the opportunity to support
Toshinari in this valuable experience.
Toshinari will give a public presentation about his experience at O-Bon on August 14 at 7:30.
