SUMMARY:Bonsai Society of Portland Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Portland Japanese Garden welcomes the Bonsai Society of Portland (BSOP) for a bonsai exhibition in the Yanai Classroom\, located in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. Bonsai\, which literally translates to “tree-in-a-tray\,” is the art and science of miniature trees.\nLiteral translation aside\, “bonsai” has evolved to mean an artistically shaped woody plant that is intended to suggest the image of a mature tree in nature. The creation of a miniaturized\nlandscape fulfills the human yearning for a connection to nature in the smallest of spaces.

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.

SUMMARY:Grief Focused Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Experience a guided forest bathing walk through Hoyt Arboretum’s unique tree collection and forested areas. Forest Bathing (also known as Forest Therapy) offers many health benefits from stress relief to immune system and mood support. Forest therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. Forest therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku\, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits\, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems\, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. We build on those benefits and look beyond\, to what happens when people remember that we are a part of nature\, not separate from it\, and are related to all other beings in fundamental ways. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.
