K ASAGI: GATES OF HOPE
In 2013, two kasagi washed ashore the Oregon coast, casualties of
the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Their origins unknown, the kasagi were
entrusted to the Portland Japanese Garden in hopes of finding their
rightful home. After two years of research, we have confirmed that
both kasagi came from the small Itsukushima shrine in Hachinohe
and we are thrilled to be returning them. Before they start their
journey home, we will host both kasagi in the Garden for people to
celebrate and honor. Visitors will be able to write words of wellwishes to the kasagi and to the people of Hachinohe which will be
delivered with the kasagi once they are reinstated at the shrine.

MEMBER TOUR:
LET US SHOW YOU JAPAN
May 18-28, 2016
Over the years, the Portland Japanese Garden has had the good
fortune to make many friends and cultural connections throughout
Japan. This has enabled us, for the first time in our history, to
organize a tailor-made tour of Japan for our members. This nine
day tour will give visitors a taste of both traditional and modern
life in Japan, experiencing gardens, history, arts, and of course the
phenomenal cuisine of Japan. A staff member from the Portland
Japanese Garden and an English-speaking Japanese guide will
accompany the group as it explores the cities and gardens of Tokyo,
Kanazawa and Kyoto.
In order to offer this custom experience, the group will be capped
at 20 guests, with a minimum of 15. Find more details about the
itinerary at japanesegarden.com/membertour.

debris that had washed ashore near his home in Oceanside, Oregon.
He walked toward it through the cold March morning air, unclear
what this particular object was. From a distance it looked like a
boat but as he got closer he realized that this was something much
more significant.
The rangers didn’t know what the mysterious item was but they
knew someone who might. Portland television reporter Kyle Iboshi
had been reporting extensively on Japanese debris recovered
from the 2011 tsunami so they quickly texted the photos to him.
Coincidentally, Iboshi was filming a story at the Portland Japanese

Incredibly, one month later on April 9, 2013 a second
kasagi was spotted on a deserted beach in Florence,
Oregon by Wali Via. As a student of Japanese

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs listed the
second kasagi on their Lost Belongings website but
once again, no claims were made. Four months went
by and the Portland Japanese community was puzzled.
Surely such an important object was missed by its own
community back home? However, with no identification
on the first kasagi and technically no proof that the 2011
tsunami was in fact what carried these two artifacts

Stephen Bloom, CEO of the Portland Japanese Garden,
offered to have the Garden take temporary custody and
more importantly take on the responsibility of finding
their rightful Japanese homes. Steve enlisted the help of
Board of Trustee member Dorie Vollum who volunteered
to house both kasagi at her home. The large pieces were
carefully relocated to the Vollums’ garage while the long
search commenced.

Sada points out that torii were often donated by a local guild and
dedicated by the head of that guild. So “Toshimi Takahashi” would
most likely be an older gentleman who had been of some import
in his community. But what type of guild it was that dedicated this
kasagi was unknown and could be anything from fishing to cotton.
With nothing else to go on, Sada and Steve turn to the people they
know to systematically comb a country for clues.
Over the next year, information is scarce. Everyone wants to
help, but no one has heard anything specific about one missing
kasagi, let alone two. Finally, Sada & Steve decide a trip to Japan
is necessary. Meanwhile, Dorie Vollum has become quite devoted
to the kasagi she’s been hosting. Having learned that many torii
are located near the sea, she starts sprinkling salt water on the two
kasagi accompanied by rice and seaweed to keep them connected

TWIN NEEDLES IN A HAYSTACK
Although the first kasagi (Kasagi I) has no identifying marks, the
other (Kasagi II) still has the middle post on its crossbeam with
two pieces of information:
1. The name of Toshimi Takahashi, the man who originally
dedicated the kasagi to its shrine. This only narrows the search
slightly since in Japan, the name Takahashi is like “Smith” or
“Jones” in the U.S.
2. The person who dedicated the kasagi—Mr. Takahashi—was
born in the Year of the Snake which means he would be 108, 96,
84, 72, or 60. He could be younger but it’s not likely because of
the clue Sada adds next.

WELCOME TOM CIRILLO
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Tom Cirillo as Chief Development Officer for the
Portland Japanese Garden.
Tom has been a member of the region’s arts and culture community for over a decade and served
as Executive Director and CEO of the Portland Baroque Orchestra from 2004 to 2015. Under his
leadership, budget capacity of the organization grew by 80%, with a 120% increase in contributed
revenue. In addition to overseeing all strategic and operational activities of the company, Tom
established partnerships with Portland Opera and the Oregon Bach Festival, and he was one of
the key creators of Portland’s Arts for All ticketing program for low-income individuals.
Before moving to Portland, Tom was a Fellow of the DeVos Institute for Arts Management at the
Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and Rehearsal Administrator at the Metropolitan Opera
in New York City. He also held positions with the Wexford Festival Opera in Ireland and the Santa Fe Opera in Santa Fe, New
Mexico. He holds degrees in Economics and German from Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, and did graduate work in
Musicology at the Free University of Berlin in Germany.
As you can see, Tom’s wealth of experience brings a high level of accomplishment and professionalism to the Garden. When you
see him, please join us in welcoming him!
