SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Exploring Japan's Best Kept Secrets\, Volume 3 - Japanese Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden invites you to deepen your knowledge of the aesthetic essence underlying Japanese art and craft. In December\, the third and final installment of this three-part webinar series invites Steve Beimel from JapanCraft21 to speak on the artistry of everyday ceramic vessels that Japanese craftspeople make extraordinary. The first part of this series\, held in October\, is focused on the craftsmanship invested into Kyoto’s Japanese gardens. The second installment\, held in November\, looks more deeply at Japanese aesthetics through the nation’s crafts. Born from earth and fire\, the ceramic arts encapsulate many of the aesthetic principles discussed throughout the series and correspond with  Kintsugi: The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru. This show\, running September 28 through January 27\, 2025\, features master conservator and artist Naoko Fukumaru’s skilled work through the craft of kintsugi\, a 500-year-old Japanese method of beautifully restoring broken ceramics with lacquer and gold.

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with Steve Bloom\, Chief Executive Officer of Portland Japanese Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Yanai Classroom for a fireside chat with our CEO\, Steve Bloom\, as he reflects on almost 20 years at Portland Japanese Garden. Since his hiring in 2005\, Bloom has dramatically transformed the organization from a humble\, local garden that hosted infrequent programming into an internationally renowned garden and preeminent cultural institution. His efforts include the Cultural Crossing Expansion Project (which expanded the Garden from 5.5 to 12.5 acres) and the establishment of a curatorial department to improve and strengthen the Garden’s physical landscape as well as host worldclass programming and events. In 2022\, he led the creation of Japan Institute\, a global cultural initiative and sibling organization that has connected Portland with visionaries across every continent in the fields of gardening\, art\, design\, and diplomacy. In recognition for his work\, Bloom has been the recipient of several honors\, including the Foreign Minister’s Commendations from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
