SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Kimekomi Ningyo (Kimekomi Dolls)
DESCRIPTION:Kimekomi Ningyo (木目込人形) is a style of traditional Japanese doll made of wood dating back about 300 years. The artist making the doll tucks fabric into grooves on the wooden form to dress the doll. Come hear Gael Sapiro talk about the dolls and demonstrate on a work in progress from 1:15-2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. The term kimekomi refers to the method of making dolls and translates as the “act of pushing something into grooves that have been cut in wood.” Dollmaker Gael Sapiro will discuss the history of the craft\, describe the tools she uses\, and share examples of her work. Leading up to our Doll’s Day Festival on March 1st\, Portland Japanese Garden celebrates dolls. Hina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, which is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. This talk will take place near a traditional display of hina dolls\, featuring a 5-tiered display representing the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court. Included with garden admission.

SUMMARY:Winter Tree Energy
DESCRIPTION:Winter draws us inward\, and the trees do the same. In this season\, evergreens become especially potent— their energy condensed\, vibrant\, and deeply palpable. In this workshop\, we’ll explore these winter currents through gentle Qigong\, Tree Transformation Cards\, and direct connection with three tree species: Douglas-fir\, cedar (deodar\, western red\, and incense)\, and redwood. Each tree has a distinctly different energy. You will receive simple guidance on how to meet a tree and experience the first moments when your energy naturally tunes to the tree’s steady\, present frequency. We’ll also touch on plant neuroscience—tree intelligence\, sensory perception\, and how trees respond to our presence. During your time with the trees\, you may feel an energetic or physical shift\, gain clarity\, or receive a message. These insights can be fleeting\, so bring a way to record them. Trees are aware of us\, and many people experience profound exchanges. Please dress warmly and bring layers so you can enjoy being outdoors in winter. Afterward\, we’ll return to the Hoyt office library for tea and optional sharing of experiences. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Hina Matsuri: Doll's Day
DESCRIPTION:Hina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls.

Visitors can view and take photos with a traditional display of hina dolls in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.

It was also believed that peach blossoms had the power to drive away evil spirits. Many families in Japan display sprigs of peach blossoms together with hina dolls. At Portland Japanese Garden\, an ikebana arrangement by Nana Bellerud\, President of Ikebana International Portland Chapter #47 and Branch Director of Sogetsu Portland\, will accompany the display.
