A place that can open our hearts
Portland, USA
“The Garden speaks to all the senses, not just to the mind alone.”
_ Professor Takuma Tono, Portland Japanese Garden designer
A garden is a place that can open our hearts, unfold our emotions, clear our minds, and bring a sense of peace. Born out of a belief in the excellence of craft. Portland Japanese Garden is a place to let go of worldly thoughts and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe.
