Japan’s 2011 earthquake may have wrecked the historic pottery town
of Mashiko’s kilns, workshops and resources, but it did not destroy its
artistic spirit. With the assistance of the international arts community,
Mashiko Kiln after 2011 earthquake
the potters of Mashiko have pulled together to rebuild their damaged
kilns and regain the confidence to carry on their traditions.
The Simple Beauty of Mashiko
Mashiko is a small town nestled in the mountains of Japan threehours north of Tokyo. It is known worldwide for its folkware, called
mashiko-yaki dating back to the nineteenth century,
when high-quality clay was found nearby and a kiln
was built to fire it. In the 1920s, Mashiko changed from
a manufacturing center to an artists’ haven when potter
Shoji Hamada arrived to work with the potters,
transforming their work into pieces that were both
functional and beautiful. Hamada’s belief in

ONE EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE

FROM THE NEW BOARD OF TRUSTEES PRESIDENT
On May 11 we held our Annual Meeting of the Membership to review highlights from this past year, recognize outgoing Board and
Committee members, including Gwyneth Gamble Booth who has served as our Board of Trustees President for the past two years, elect
new Board members and welcome our new Board of Trustees President, Cathy Rudd. We were moved by Cathy’s words and wanted to share
them with everyone:
Dear Garden Members,
As I walk through the gates of the
Japanese Garden, I am reminded of
the spirits of people who have come
before us. I believe those spirits are
guiding us today and paving the
way for future generations. The
quiet solitude complemented by
chirping birds further creates the
feeling of equilibrium I encounter in
the Garden. I observe the effect of
The waterfalls cascade down the hillside, filling the ponds where
shimmering koi swim, splash and glide. Walking the Zig Zag Bridge,
visitors drink in the fragrance of soft pink and white rhododendrons.
The tea house provides rest and reflection underneath the canopy
of fir trees. The delicate balance of stone, gravel, moss, bamboo
and rock beautifully border the etched gardens. The irises stand tall
and straight, dreaming of the day their blooms will appear strong,
colorful and regal. The five gardens flanked by the Cascades on a
backdrop of blue sky is one of the many discoveries visitors may find.
Conversely, clouds and mist blanketing the gardens can be equally
inspiring for guests, providing a unique experience with each visit.

The Ties That Bind
This spring, the Portland Japanese Garden is honored to partner with
the newly formed Mashiko Ceramics and Arts Association (MCAA), the
Oregon Potters Association (OPA), and the Pucker Gallery of Boston
on the second Art in the Garden exhibition of 2015, Kizuna: the Rebirth
of Mashiko Ceramics.
This exhibition brings the work of of 13 Mashiko artists, including
11 contemporary potters whose styles range from traditional craft to
contemporary art as well as masterworks by the great Living National
Treasure artists Shoji Hamada (1894-1974), and his protégé Tatsuzo
Shimaoka (1919-2007), who was known for combining ancient pottery
processes in his work, a remarkable collection of which was generously
donated to the Garden by Shimaoka’s daughter Yoshiko Fudeya in 2014.
The goal of the exhibition is to support the rebirth of Mashiko as an

AROUND THE GARDEN
GARDENERS’
CORNER
TRADITIONAL JAPANESE PLANTS
ADD AUTHENTICITY
We are constantly striving to make our Garden as authentic as possible. As part of that effort, we’ve recently introduced two plants
traditional to gardens in Japan, but somewhat unusual for Japanese gardens here in the States:
Hisakaki (Eurya japonica)
A rare evergreen shrub, Hisakaki is a common substitute
for Sakaki (Cleyera japonica) which is traditionally used
in Shinto ceremonies where its leaves are laid at the altar
as an offering to Shinto deities. Hisakaki is common in
Japanese gardens near Kyoto. It is often planted close to
basins or lanterns where its glossy deep-green leaves and
creamy-white flowers will be noticed. Blooming from late
winter through early spring, the flowers are extremely
fragrant. Their earthy aroma has been called metallic,
reminding some of minerals or even certain cheeses. After
a recent trip to Kyoto our Gardener, Justin Blackwell, said
you could always smell when Hisakaki was nearby.
Until recently, Hisakaki was unavailable outside of Japan.
But within the last few years that has changed. Now for
the first time in our history, we have it planted in the
Garden. If you’d like to see (or smell) this rarity, visit the
Natural Garden where you’ll find it near the Square Basin
and the waterfall in Saka’s Pond.
Manryo (Ardisia crenata)
Known by a variety of names such as Christmas berry,
Australian holly, coral bush, coralberry, and spiceberry,
Manryo is a species of flowering plant in the primrose
family. A compact shrub, usually reaching no more
than a few feet, it has evergreen leaves that are dark
and lustrous, with tightly crimped edges. Manryo
blossoms with small, tight clusters of red or white
flowers, and, as you might guess from its nicknames,
its berries are a coral red.
In Japan, Manryo is thought to bring good fortune.
Its name literally translates to “ten thousand ryo,”
with ryo referring to an old unit of currency. For
that reason, it is sometimes used as a New Year’s
decoration, encouraging prosperity in the year to
come. In Japanese gardens, it is often planted near the
outer wall. If you’d like to see Manryo in person, we
auspiciously have some planted near the Donation Box
just inside the Admission Gate.

MEMBER PROFILE: SAPPORO BEER
As summer quickly approaches, we invite you to the Garden
to escape the heat and enjoy a crisp, cool drink at our summer
Member Events. Sapporo Beer has been a generous contributor
to the Portland Japanese Garden since 2012 and donates Sapporo
Premium Beer at many Garden events.
With its first brew in 1876, Sapporo Beer is the oldest beer brand
in Japan. At the time, the city of Sapporo was a frontier town. The
first German-trained Japanese brewmaster, Seibei Nakagawa,
used locally produced beer ingredients and an authentic brewing
process to produce this domestic lager.
The Sapporo Beer star logo was derived from the symbol of
the pioneers of the Sapporo area and was chosen to represent
Sapporo Beer’s pioneering spirit. Sapporo Beer’s first presence
in the United States was in 1964 and it quickly became the #1
selling Asian imported beer.
We also like to think this partnership furthers our strong
connection to the City of Sapporo. The Portland-Sapporo Sister
Cities relationship which was established in 1959 not only
fostered a link between our cities, people, and culture, but led
to the creation of the Portland Japanese Garden.
