Portland Japanese Garden, Oct 2019
Tucked in the hills just west of downtown is the relaxed zen splendor of the Portland Japanese Garden. It’s a great getaway from the urban hustle-bustle with beautifully maintained pathways twisting through flowers, trees, gardens, sculptures, koi ponds. This October Elaine and I visited and caught the new exhibit by Japanese artist Noritaka Tatehana, Refashioning Beauty, featuring things like insanely tall shoes and giant hairpins.
The first set of images below is from our walk around the garden, and the second is from the Tatehana show.
And thanks, Tiffany McElmurry, who works for the garden, for giving us a tour!
