Did you know? Portland Japanese Garden offers various cultural demonstrations and performances throughout the week! These include musical performances, ikebana (flower arranging), bonsai demonstrations, and tea ceremony. All of these events happen in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center from 1:15 - 2:15pm, free with general Garden admission.

The lessons of Portland Japanese Garden are many and varied; not only does it speak about the way trees grow and how moss forms on stone, but also about the lives and culture of the people who designed and nurtured this enduring art form.

Did you know? A Japanese tea garden [cha-niwa or roji] is a place for quiet reflection on the beauty of nature and the art of living in harmony. A pathway of carefully placed stepping stones, lined by lanterns, leads through the rustic garden to the tea house. Tea gardens were historically designed as peaceful, natural spaces to detach oneself from the hectic everyday world before entering the tea house and the tranquil world of tea ceremony [chanoyu].
