2 THE GARDEN PATH FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT

Dear Members,

What an extraordinary year it has been! By the close of 2018, the Garden will have presented almost three times as many cultural and educational programs as in prior years, sharing the gifts of Japan with almost half a million people. This was also our first year of Garden programs that focused on a specific region of Japan and I hope you found the Year of Kyoto as enlightening as I did.

For me, the year’s highlight was our celebration of Kyoto’s iconic Gion Matsuri in September. Having one of the ornate floats from this ancient festival was an historic occasion not only for Portland, but also for Kyoto, this being the first time such a float had ever been allowed to 1 leave Japan. More than 30 individuals came to Portland from Kyoto for the occasion, including 20 Gion Bayashi musicians who performed the traditional music that has been part of the festival for centuries. The friendship Portland has made with Kyoto through this collaboration will continue to enrich our programming and our community for years to come.

This is what is at the heart of the Garden: connecting you and our community with the riches of Japanese culture, be it by enjoying the tranquility of nature in the gardens, or through a cultural festival, a workshop, a tea demonstration, or any one of the programs we offer. And none of this would be possible without your generous contribu - tions as members and donors of the Garden.

In the coming days you will receive our year-end appeal asking you to continue and hopefully increase your support of the Portland Japanese Garden. Please join me in making a year-end gift to ensure the me- ticulous care of this Portland treasure and the highest standard of educational and cultural programming. Your gift to the Portland Japanese Garden is a gift to our community, and a gift to Portland’s visitors from around the world.

I’d also like to ask you to think about the Garden’s work in a different way. As a supporter of the Garden, you are doing much more than sharing the gifts of Japan with the world. You are making it possible for hundreds of thousands of people each year – people like you and me – to explore a culture different from their own; creat - ing a desire to learn and share across borders. Your commitment to the Portland Japanese Garden not only enhances people’s lives through beauty and peace, you help broaden the horizons of all who visit and bring our world closer together.

Thank you.

Dorie Vollum President, Board of Trustees 1 Jonathan Ley

The original 800-page edition of Hokusai Manga was published from 1814 to 1878 in 15 stitched-bound volumes.

10 THE GARDEN PATH MANGA ORIGINS?

Katsushika Hokusai, one of the most versatile and innovative painter-illustrators of his time, gained renown in Europe and North America in the late 19th century. Hokusai named his popular collection of printed drawings “manga.”

“Manga” was initially written with two Sino-Japa- nese characters: (man: diverse, random, rambling, 漫 capricious) and (ga: line drawing, picture). When 画 the term first spread, it was primarily used to indi - cate a large and wide assortment of drawings or an extensive catalog of motifs.

With the emergence of modern newspapers around 1900, the term “manga” assumed the meaning of sa - 2 tirical picture. It ultimately became part of everyday parlance in the 1920s. Throughout the 20th centu - 3 ry, the word denoted cartoons, caricatures, comic strips (koma manga), and, eventually, graphic narratives serialized in manga magazines.

MANGA CARTOONS?

Although primarily characterized by a diversity of subject matter, frequent attention to grimaces and acrobatic activities have created the impression that manga is somehow synonymous with cartoons or funny pictures.

When compared with the work of Hokusai’s contem - porary Utagawa Kuniyoshi, however, it is evident that Hokusai’s manga images are not necessarily hu - morous. In 19th-century Japan, it was precisely the balance between prosaic and whimsical, instruction and entertainment, that guaranteed the enduring success of Hokusai Manga.

This upcoming year is a special one for the Garden and the city of Portland. It marks the 60th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Portland and Sapporo, located on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

Hokkaido has experienced a history like our own here in the Pacific Northwest, perhaps most notably in the rich indigenous cultures of both native traditions. Like the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, the Ainu peoples of Hokkaido were originally hunters and fishermen who depended on nature for their livelihood. The commonalities between these cultures, like the commonalities of Portland and Sapporo, remind us that the Pacific Ocean acts not as a barrier but a bridge between our two countries.

NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2018 15 LEGACY GIVING

Estate Planning

Estate planning can seem like a daunting task. In fact, the majority of people in America – reportedly more than 60% – have never created an estate plan or, if they have, they now need assistance updating an older will or living trust.

The Portland Japanese Garden offers resource materials and expert planning assistance to help in this often complicated area of life. There is no cost or obligation for these resources or assistance, and no investment or insurance products are promoted or sold. This is simply a service the Garden is launching to help our members and donors. So if it’s been a while since you updated your estate plan, or you have not done an estate plan previously, we will have these resources available for you in the coming months:

A Will and Trust Planning Guide

An Estate Inventory Form

A Final Wishes Booklet

Call or write Tom Cirillo or Matthew Maas, and either can send you these materials or connect you with an estate planning expert who can meet confidentially with you. We will also be holding an infor - mational session with our estate planning expert in the spring of 2019, so keep a look out for this invitation.

GOT GAINS?

During the past eight years the financial markets have risen dramat - ically and real estate values in our region have risen at an even faster pace. If you have capital gain issues looming, consider calling the Garden . We have special trust arrangements that help Garden donors avoid initial capital gain tax when investments or real estate are sold, while providing a constant income stream back to you. Again, call or write Tom or Matthew if you would like to learn more.
