SUMMARY:A Journey in Moments: Photography by Daniel Ng
DESCRIPTION:Visit Portland Japanese Garden this summer to see an exhibition of stunning photography by one of our members! The sights and scenes one encounters while traveling\, though fleeting\, can nevertheless leave an impression that resonate throughout the course of a life. For its inaugural Garden Gallery exhibition\, Portland Japanese Garden is thrilled to present A Journey in Moments: The Photography of Daniel Ng\, on display from May 28 through August 10. Ng is a Photographer Member whose work was selected through a Call for Photography issued in early 2026. Travelogue-inspired and vibrant in color and composition\, Ng’s work was taken over the course of a 2024 trip to Japan as well as during visits to the Garden during Photographer Hours. Ng’s photography invites contemplation of the subtle beauty encountered in the everyday\, and the impact of thoughtful exchange across cultures. From the serene lines of Japanese temple architecture and the gentle clouds of sakura blossoms in a clear sky\, to the natural patterns of street traffic in bustling Tokyo\, Ng captures scenes across a spectrum of peace and excitement familiar to visitors to Japan\, inviting the viewer to dream of returning again and again. Included with garden admission.

SUMMARY:Woven Light: Washi Sculptures by Yuri Kinoshita
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, Portland Japanese Garden is host to a glowing world of light.  Woven Light showcases the illuminated washi sculptures of Yuri Kinoshita\, a Seattle-based artist who artfully crafts floating landscapes of light through her sculptural lamps that bridge the art and design world. Guests who visit the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery will see that through carefully hand-woven and sculpted washi (Japanese handmade paper made from plant fibers)\, soft light and shadow inspire a magical sense of place\, evoking the unique environment of the Pacific Northwest. More than artwork\, Kinoshita’s works are experiences that transport the viewer into a warm world of light through both works that evoke natural forms and abstracted shapes that inspire contemplation. Washi has been made in Japan for centuries. Its uses range from decoration for religious rites and ceremonies\, to art and design purposes including calligraphy\, woodblock printing\, and origami. Kinoshita’s washi is sourced from artisans in Echizen in Fukui Prefecture\, Japan\, a region known for its long tradition of paper-making. The texture and shape of the paper is transformed depending on the type of washi used: the rough weave of bamboo fiber contrast with the soft\, fine glow of kozo\, washi created using mulberry bark. Kinoshita’s light-filled sculptures are paired with bases that often are formed from richly colored walnut wood of the Pacific Northwest\, crafted by master woodworker Craig Yamamoto\, nephew to iconic woodworker George Nakashima.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi for Better Balance

SUMMARY:Qigong
DESCRIPTION:Looking to slow down\, breathe deeper\, and move with intention? Join instructor Steven for a calming Qigong session beneath the canopy of the Hoyt Arboretum. Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient practice from Chinese medicine that combines gentle movements\, breathwork\, and mindful posture to cultivate a deep sense of inner peace. The low-impact meditative nature makes it great for all levels whether you’re looking to reduce stress\, improve balance\, or feel a little more grounded. Come move with the rhythm of nature and leave feeling refreshed—body and mind. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.
