ART IN THE GARDEN: CARVING A NEW PATH FOR AN
ANCIENT ART FORM
Tradition is not a thing of the past. It flows over time like a river—
moving, ever changing, never the same. Keeping the essence of an
inherited art form alive over time has been a challenge for fine craftsmen
for generations, whether their craft is building gardens or carving wood.
But one family in Kamakura, Japan has been remarkably successful in
breaking new ground in the art world without losing their ancestors’
mastery of a very old trade.
A Family Affair
In Kamakura—a small history-bound city located about two hours
south of Tokyo—the craftsmanship of carved, lacquered woodwork
has been passed down from father to son for 29 generations. And
one of the oldest establishments working in this medium is the Goto
family’s Hakkodo Kamakura Bori. Breaking new ground, Keiko Goto
is leading her family’s historic gallery, the first woman to do so in its
history. She’s building upon the tradition of her ancestors while creating
work that is innovative and uniquely her own. This April, Keiko and
her sister Naoko are bringing four generations of Hakkodo artistry
to the Portland Japanese Garden for their first exhibition in the U.S.
In the 14th & 15th centuries, artisans in Kamakura became known for
their creative use of lacquer in a technique now referred to as Kamakurabori. Inspired by Chinese methods of carving low-relief patterns into
many layers of lacquer, this new method of applying lacquer after
carving the wood resulted in stunning designs that had greater depth
and design possibilities.
This technique was used by the sisters’ great-grandfather, Itsuki
Goto, when he established Hakkodo to carve Buddhist sculptures.
When Buddhism fell out of favor in Japan in the 19th century, Itsuki
Goto redirected his work to produce more practical objects such as
trays and bowls which showcased his mastery of technique in their

Eager to show the world this exquisite example of Japanese skill, Japan
sent Hakkodo’s work to the Lewis & Clark Exposition of 1905 here in
Portland. Both Itsuki Goto & his son Unkyu were awarded Gold Medals
for outstanding craftsmanship.

FROM THE CEO
Dear Garden Members,
Spring has officially sprung in the Garden. The buds and blossoms
remind us of the renewal we feel each year at this time. During this
time of rebirth we actively prepare the physical Garden for the busy
summer and fall months just around the corner, the times when the
largest crowds visit and the Garden hosts the majority of its cultural
festivals and events. Preparations during these spring months are
pivotal for the rest of the year. The same holds true with fundraising
for the Garden’s Annual Fund: the spring is crucial to ensure that,
with the partnership of amazing supporters like you, plans for the
year can succeed.
The Annual Fund is the primary source of contributions for the
Garden, helping to pay for everything from Garden maintenance
to the world-class exhibitions and artists the Culture, Arts, and
Education department bring to the Pavilion each year. Donations
to the Annual Fund are the seeds of so many projects. They ensure
that the Garden has the strong foundation needed to achieve our
ambitions and fulfill our mission of providing a place of calm and
cultural exploration for the community and for visitors from around
the world.
Contributions to the Annual Fund make up a quarter of our yearly
budget. As a non-profit receiving no taxpayer money, the Garden
truly relies on you to continue flourishing. As a member, you have
already demonstrated your support for the work we do. We hope you’ll
go above and beyond, and consider making a spring Annual Fund
donation to help us achieve our goals for 2015. Inside this newsletter,
you will find a return envelope if you would like to join us in making
this year one of the Garden’s best. You can also donate online at
www.japanesegarden.com/donate. With your help, we’ll make this
spring one full of promise of the beauty and inspiration to come.
Help us plant the seeds of a truly outstanding 2015, and with your
partnership, the Garden will flourish for years to come.
Sincerely,
Stephen D. Bloom
Chief Executive Officer

KAWAII!
Continued from page 1.
Anyone interested in modern Japanese culture has probably
stumbled across the term kawaii. Though it roughly translates
as ‘cute’ in English, it’s a concept that encapsulates so much
more than that. From the fashionable streets of Harajuku to
the friendly mascots that adorn Tokyo’s municipal buildings,
Japan’s affinity for all things kawaii continues to grow. Bring
a touch of this trend home with the items below:
