Bonsai: the Art of Longevity

I have I a have student a student that has that a has “ poisona poison ivy bonsai ivy bonsai but, no, but, I do no, not I dorecommend not recommend that.” that.” Sound advice from Michael Hagedorn, bonsai expert and consultant to the Portland Japanese Garden.

Hagedorn laughed as he answered light-hearted questions by curious onlookers – while trimming the spring shoots off a 500-year-old Rocky Mountain juniper tree.

The number one question people ask whenever he’s in the Garden?

Bonsai came from China, originally known as penjing.

As with many art forms, the Japanese practice of Bonsai took a more sub- tle and quiet approach.

“Bonsai is an artfully designed tree meant to emulate a scene in nature,” said Andrew Robson, one of Hagedorn’s students.

Robson added that the size of a bonsai correlates less to age and more to the species used to create it. He quotes James Thurber from the The Secret Life of Walter Mitty when he reminds us that “Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.”

Fashion, paintings, architecture, he said, these are things that ask to be noticed and admired.

“Bonsai are the opposite. Their beauty is in their subtlety. They follow the principle of wabi sabi, starting first with their chosen pot. The patina of a good, weathered pot tells the story of age and use, through the water, 1 Bruce Forster the fertilizer, and the dirt that has accumulated on it over the years,” 2 Julia Taylor 3 Julia Taylor said Robson.

6 THE GARDEN PATH 1

2 Hagedorn’s apprentices like Robson repot a bonsai every few years to keep it looking youthful.

“Japanese people have a profound appreciation for the ephemeral, illustrated in their love of cherry blossoms. Ironically though, bonsai is their perfected art form that defies this. With their age and endur- ance, in many ways humans are ephemeral to bonsai,” said Robson.

There are nine different bonsai lenders in the Ellie M. Hill Bonsai Terrace this year, and most are from the Portland area, Hagedorn said. The Garden will rotate a few species out occasionally, as some are seasonal. In the winter, the Portland Japanese Garden will be rotating in hardier specimen.

3 There are three additional bonsai located in the Jubitz Oregon Terrace with accent plants placed on shelves along the stucco wall to “give a hint of seasonality,” Hagedorn said.

SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 7 SPONSOR PROFILE Bamboo Sushi

Kristofer Lofgren, founder and owner

The Portland Japanese Garden has a special place in the heart of Kristofor Lofgren, the founder and owner of Bamboo Sushi and its parent company Sustainable Restaurant Group. He was first introduced to the Garden in 2009, when his mother became a Member – right around the time of the opening of Bamboo Sushi, the world’s first certified sustainable sushi restaurant. Kristofor’s love of the Garden grew and he chose the Garden, during the quiet of morning Member Hours, to propose to his wife. He also was the motivating force of the ongoing partnership for O-Tsukimi, the Moonviewing Festival, that the Garden has enjoyed with Bamboo Sushi.

With praise for its mission promoting sustainable seafood practices and acclaim for its delicious food, 1 Bamboo Sushi quickly became a favorite of Portland diners. It has now expanded to four locations in Portland and one in Denver, with plans for a second Denver location as well as a Seattle restaurant on the horizon. Sustainable Restaurant Group also added a poke bar, QuickFish, to its Portland family, with plans for expansions in Seattle, and Denver, and San Francisco.

A self-proclaimed Japanophile, Kristofor has visited numerous gardens across Japan, but still finds the Portland Japanese Garden is his favorite, not just for sentimental reasons, but also because he sees the Garden’s mission to be so closely in line with his own. As Bamboo Sushi continues to grow, Lofgren hopes to foster and deepen the company’s relationships to Japan, something that he’s accomplishing, in part, through his own relationship to the Garden. “We’re able to take the experiences that we learn from the Garden, through speakers and presentations” says Kristofor, “and amplify it out to the rest of the community and the country.” The Garden’s partnership with Bamboo Sushi

2 will continue to grow as they take on an essential role in the presentation of the Garden’s new Washoku Food Series beginning in November 2017.

A Fall Full of Ikebana

Lovers of the traditional Japanese garden art of ikebana will have plenty to celebrate this fall. In addition to Cultural Corner demonstrations of this elegant flower-arranging art form, the Portland Japanese Garden is honored to host four exhibitions of ikebana in September and October. Each weekend-long show is held in conjunction with a local Portland ikebana school or organization and will feature the work of that schools’ students and instructors.

This, too, is a Zen Buddhist metaphor for always reaching for things that are not what they seem—material things that are illusions that keep us from grasping what is important in life.

The full moon at harvest time is celebrated in many agricultural cultures around the world. Around the time of the Autumnal Equinox, the moon comes up right around sunset which enables farmers to continue bringing in their harvests into the evening hours.

Harvest moon viewing took place on August 15th in the lunar calendar, and it was called jugoya, which means the night of the 15th. Jugoya in the present calendar changes every year and usually falls in September or October. The moon on jugoya is not always full, but it's said that the moon on that night is the brightest and the most beautiful in the year.

Mirrors of the Mind: The Noh Masks of Ohtsuki Kokun

1

CHANGING EXPRESSIONS THROUGH MOVEMENTS OF A MASK

For our third exhibition of this year’s Art in the Garden series, the Portland Japanese Garden is thrilled to feature the Noh masks of Ohtsuki Kokun. The exhibition begins on Saturday, October 14.

Mr. Ohtsuki has been carving otherworldly faces in wood since his childhood. Different than any other art form in Japan, a Noh mask is a kind of “window on the soul.” It captivates its audience by becoming its own character on stage through the living presence of the actor and the imagination of the audience itself.

“They have seishin-sei (spiritual depth) which I think is beyond any other mask in the world.”

Although inherently static in appearance, a Noh mask conveys a wide range of human emotions and feelings. For example, an actor can change the character’s expression from happiness to one of deep sorrow, just by tilting the mask slightly while on stage. The play of light, the angle of the mask, the actor's skill and stage position, all contribute to portraying the character, as does the spirit imbued in a mask in the hands of a masterful carver like Ohtsuki Kokun.

12 THE GARDEN PATH HISTORY OF NOH MASKS AND ITS MAKERS

Noh masks have been an integral part of the Noh ORINASU-KAN NOH COSTUMES performing art tradition since the 14th century. Accompanying the masks in this exhibition is a selection Masks are worn by the shite and tsure actors, while the of Noh costumes of beautifully woven silk brocades in supporting actors, or waki, do not wear masks. There patterns that relate to a season or a Noh theme. Made are approximately sixty types of Noh masks, and each exclusively for Noh performances for the samurai and Noh family uses its own style. Some masks as old as upper classes, they are more subdued and refined than the 400 years, are still being used in performances today exuberantly designed Kabuki costumes. and at one time, each Noh family had their own mask- maker. All Noh masks are courtesy of the artist, and all costumes are courtesy of Orinasu-kan of Kyoto. ARTISTIC TRADITION CONTINUES TODAY

“I have become more and more fascinated by Noh masks as time passes. I realized noh-men, (the name given to Noh masks) and the simple and lean forms of modern sculpture had much in common. Noh-men are stripped of all garnishes and stand as a pure essence while still maintaining depth and spirituality,” Mr. Ohtsuki said.

Ohtsuki Kokun is from Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, and currently resides in Kyoto. After studying under Nagasawa Soshun, he formed 'Kokun

Noh-men Kai' in 1989 and had his first solo exhibition NOH EVENTS in 1990 in Kyoto. He has made masks for many prominent Noh masters, including Hayashi Kiichiro, October 13 Golden Crane Opening Reception Umewaka Rokuro, and members of the Kanze family. He also teaches mask carving in Kyoto and October 14 Exhibition begins (ends December 3) Sagamihara. October 14 Two Noh Performances Mr. Ohtsuki will be present during the opening October 15 Noh Mask carving demonstration weekend of the exhibition to demonstrate his by Ohtsuki Kokun fine craftsmanship. The Garden will also host a presentation by Living National Treasure Noh actor Kawamura Haruhisa of the Kawamura Noh Gakudo School of Noh in Kyoto.

Dedication of Time

Head Gardener Michael Kondo celebrates 40 years at the Garden

The theme of this September/October magazine is longevity and a dedication to time.

1 Perhaps no one knows more about time spent at the Garden than Head Gardener Michael Kondo.

This September, Kondo celebrates his 40th anniversary at the Portland Japanese Garden, a milestone that no one else has ever reached.

Kondo has seen and been a part of the growing Portland Japanese Garden since 1977. When he started working here, the trees were much smaller, and the Natural Garden didn’t exist. In fact, Kondo helped put it in place. He has seen a lot of changes.

From bell-bottoms and wide-brimmed glasses, to a legacy of care with intension here at the Garden, we celebrate Michael Kondo.

The photo captions are in his own words, reacting to each picture – some of which he’d never seen before:
