Member Exhibition Preview for “Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru”

Join Portland Japanese Garden in celebrating the opening of Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru. In the Garden’s final exhibition of 2024, we will showcase stunning kintsugi from artist Naoko Fukumaru. Kintsugi is an ancient method of mending damaged ceramics using urushi (natural lacquer) dusted with powdered gold. This type of mending highlights the beauty of imperfections, rather than trying to hide them.
