Summer of Serenity: Five Ways to Enjoy Peaceful Benefits of Your Membership

6 THE GARDEN PATH Jonathan Ley

Let go of the day’s stresses with a comforting stroll along the Garden’s meandering paths. Close your eyes. Let the sound of water falling from Heavenly Falls whisper in your ear and soothe you.

Spring and summer are a beautiful time to visit the Garden, and it is also a time when many visitors come. Here’s a guide to making the most of your Garden membership this summer.

JULY / AUGUST 2018 7 GARDEN NEWS

Jonathan Ley

1. FIND STILLNESS DURING LESS BUSY MORNING AND EVENING HOURS

Come during the time set aside just for you: the quiet member-only hours. Photograph the best light, smell the cedar in our new buildings. Feel a breeze across your face as you wander empty paths and over bridges. Feel more connected to nature than ever before.

Enjoy early member-only hours before you head into the office for the day. The Garden welcomes you Tuesday through Sunday as early as 8am and parking is free until 9:30am. Stop into our Umami Café starting at 9am for warm whisked matcha and start your day with a clear head. You have the Café to yourself for an hour, before the Garden opens to the public at 10am.

During the summer, members are invited to Member-Only Extended hours from 7-9pm. Check japanesegarden.org/events for more information.

2. ENJOY AN AFTERNOON BITE AT BAMBOO SUSHI THEN STROLL THE GARDEN

If you are seeking a quiet, peaceful moment of stillness after a long day in the office, we are open every day until 7pm. Take advantage of your Gar- den Membership discount of 20% off at any of the five area Bamboo Sushi locations, then come to the Garden after the majority of Garden guests have gone home for the day.

8 THE GARDEN PATH 3. TAKE AN EARLY EVENING TOUR AT 4PM

Rediscover the Garden with a free tour guide each evening at 4 pm. Take in the meaning, intentionality, and history of the Garden from one of our well-trained and knowledgeable tour guides. Leave with a stronger connection to nature and expe- rience of peace.

4. WATCH AS OUR BELOVED KOI ARE FED IN THE EVENING The koi swim faster along the Zigzag Bridge as our gardeners approach. Once a gardener pauses in the center of the bridge, the fish circle, eager for food. The koi are fed dinner at vary- ing times during the evening, but most often between 5-6 p.m. Delight in witnessing this playful interaction when you come during the evening hours.

5. ATTEND A TEA CEREMONY ON A SUMMER NIGHT

To find sanctuary in the midst of modern life, we take solace in the serenity of nature. Through Chado, the Way of Tea, sanctuary can be created. Drawing on the elements of nature and our own environment, we can learn the movements of Tea and begin appreciating the balance of stillness and motion.

Our everyday lives are filled with commitments. We crave calm. The Way of Tea can be a tool for slowing down yet paying complete attention to every detail. Tea is a living practice of balancing tradition with the here and now. This summer, experience an authentic, intentional tea cere- mony on Friday, June 29 and under the full moon on Friday, July 27. Both ceremonies will begin at 5pm.

As a member, the Garden becomes yours. Use it to engage your senses and grow with the Garden. You become a part of the experience. Be gentle with yourself, evolve, and you might see the kind of change you desire both in the Garden and yourself. After all, journey and discovery are part of the Japanese garden experience. We hope you leave our Garden feeling inspired, more connected to nature and with a greater understanding of Japan.

Behind the Shoji: Kyoto Marketplace

Kyoto has been a tourist mecca for more than 1,000 years, but on the 21st day of every month, the tranquil grounds of Kyoto's Toji Temple becomes an eruption of colorful activity unlike anything else in Japan. From vibrant fabrics and textiles, rows of priceless antiques, refined porcelain pieces to delicate pa- per products and prints, this Kyoto marketplace draws visitors from around the world!

Over the centuries, the pathways leading to various temples across Japan became small busy villages called monzen-cho, serving tea and selling omiyage (souvenirs) to the throngs of visitors who come to pray at the temples and buy omiyage for family and friends back home. 1 Julia Taylor 2 Courtesy of Le Ciel 3 Courtesy of Miyai 4 Julia Taylor 5 Courtesy of Kochosai Kosuga

12 THE GARDEN PATH RETAIL NEWS

The Portland Japanese Garden is bringing the Kyoto marketplace to Portland. Hand

2 dyed textiles, incense, woodblock prints, and decorative porcelain vases are just a few of the exquisite items available from vendors and artists of the Kansai Region of Japan, which includes Kyoto, Osaka, and surrounding areas.

Peek behind the Pavilion’s shoji to marvel at the exquisite hand-dyed fabrics of Le Ciel, the French word for “sky” (see photo 2). All of the products are made from handwoven textiles, which take about two weeks and a team of craftspeople to create. Products

3 range from (curtains hung in doorways for privacy), tapestries and other accessories made from ramie. Ramie is native to Asia and is one of the strongest natural fibers.

Founded in 1901, the Kyoto based company Miyai has a longstanding history in special- ized wrapping cloths called furoshiki (see photo 3). In the Kansai region, furoshiki are frequently used to wrap gifts for special oc- casions. In Japan, where the thoughtfulness of careful wrapping is almost as important as the gift itself, the tradition of making fine furoshiki continues with ever more inven- 4 tive designs to suit both the traditional and the modern customer.

Starting Saturday, July 21, come marvel at the incredible creations of Kansai Region artisans. Behind the Shoji: Kyoto Marketplace runs through September 3.

A members-only preview reception will take place in the Pavilion July 20.
