Japanese Garden, Intro.
The meticulously maintained Portland Japanese Garden opened in 1967 to symbolize peace between Japan and the U.S. after World War II, to pay homage to Japanese culture and provide awareness of environmental sustainability.
It was...designed in 1963 by Professor Takuma Tono, an internationally renowned authority on Japanese garden landscaping.
It is an amalgamation of 5 themed gardens, across 9 acres.
And in 2017: it unveiled an extensive expansion called the Cultural Crossing Expansion, which encompasses three new garden spaces, a castle wall by Japanese stone mason Suminori Awata, and the Cultural Village by revered architect Kengo Kuma.
The Japanese Garden is:
A haven of tranquil beauty, that has been proclaimed, one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan.
Even in Japan, it would be difficult to find a garden of this quality, says Sadafumi Uchiyama, a national garden consultant.
