SUMMARY:Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen
DESCRIPTION:This February\, Portland Japanese Garden is pleased to present Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen in the Pavilion Gallery. On loan from the Collection of David Sneider and Naomi Pollock\, this exhibition celebrates contemporary ceramic art and vessels that preserve a time-honored collaboration of earth\, fire\, and the artist’s hand. Recognized as one of the Rokkoyō (六石窯) Six Ancient Kilns of Japan\, Bizen is a ceramic center that has continued its unique form of pottery for over 900 years. Notable for their rustic\, textured\, and unglazed forms\, the ceramics featured in Earthen Elegance reveal the depths of the Bizen pottery tradition. Today the town of Bizen hosts nearly 300 active kilns with artists continuing to use local materials and an ancient wood-firing process. Featuring work by many of Bizen’s leading potters including Jun Isezaki and Ryuichi Kakurezaki\, the exhibition presents both functional vessels and innovative sculptural forms that expand the frontier of Bizen ware.

SUMMARY:Mottainai: The Fabric of Life - Lessons in Frugality from Traditional Japan with Diane Durston\, Curator Emerita
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Earth Day 2025\, Curator Emerita Diane Durston will be presenting a lecture that revisits a Japanese concept centered on the message of environmental awareness. Mottainai means “nothing wasted\,” an often repeated saying in Japanese with which mothers urge their children not to waste anything\, not even the smallest grain of rice. As part of a yearlong series of programs on the theme of “Living in Harmony with Nature” in 2011\, Portland Japanese Garden hosted a groundbreaking exhibition of bast fiber and recycled folk textiles in an exhibition entitled MOTTAINAI: The Fabric of Life. The exhibition showcased some of the remarkable ways in which the Japanese used foraged and recycled materials to cloth themselves in less affluent times\, “not wasting anything” as the adage mottainai advised.
