Dear Members, Our upcoming Kabuki exhibition has me thinking of transformations: actions that create a completely new reality. And I wanted to share my favorite story of transformation. Many people in Portland know the Schnitzer name. What they may not know is how the Schnitzers’ contribution to our community goes beyond just making donations. For many organizations, their philanthropy has transformed dreams into reality. In our case, Arlene, with her son Jordan, made two extraordinary gifts that changed the course of the Cultural Crossing project. Back in 2013 we had just started raising funds for the expansion. At the time, no one was quite sure how a small nonprofit in Portland, OR would raise the $33.5 million needed for this project. The first transformation came when the Schnitzer Family CARE Foundation made the first $1 million gift to the campaign. This gift signaled to the whole community that this expansion was of cultural significance and worthy of support. It gave us the confidence as well as the credibility to continue our fundraising in earnest. By early 2015, we had raised $12 million – a sizable amount but we needed at least $20 million to move forward with construction that Fall. It was a crucial moment for the organization. Portland construction was booming and prices were skyrocketing. We knew if we didn’t break ground soon, the cost of the project would escalate and our dreams would likely be dashed. So one February evening, in Gwyneth Gamble Booth’s dining room, Gwyneth (then Board President), Campaign Chairs Dorie & Larry Vollum, Board Member Bruce Guenther, and I met with Arlene to update her on the project. She listened intently as we described this pivotal moment for the project. Finally, as I made the “ask” I said, “if you were to make the lead gift to the Cultural Crossing project…” Before I could finish my sentence, she said, “…it would be transformational.” She knew the magnitude of what I was asking that day. And in honor of her son Jordan’s 20 years of service on the Garden Board, she committed an additional $5 million to the project – an incredible gift and the largest we’ve ever received. She was right: it was transformational. In that moment, our project went from dream to reality. It allowed us to secure contractors and move forward with construction. More importantly it inspired others, communicating this project’s importance to the community. With Arlene’s gift in hand, we secured the gifts of others and our funds raised went from $12 million to $22 million within three months. This past May, I had the privilege of walking Arlene through the new spaces for the first time since their completion. After an enthusiastic visit to the gift shop, we walked through the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center, stopping in the Living Room to watch a koto performer captivate a room full of people. Seeing this, Arlene patted my hands and said how it was a dream come true. My dear Arlene, I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for bringing all of our dreams to life!

HE A LING WOUND S FROM WA R

When the Second World War came to an end in 1945, many painful scarswere left behind. In the years following the war, anti-Japanese sentimentin Portland and the United States was still very real for many; the woundsfrom the war had not healed.

Less than ten years after the war ended, the first Portland-bound com-mercial ship from Yokohama, Japan, pulled into the Port of Portland on a peace mission. The ship was carrying a granite snow-viewing (yukimi(( )ilantern from the city of Yokohama.

Inscribed with the words “Casting the Light of Everlasting Peace,” and later called the Peace Lantern – it was a gift to the city of Portland from then Mayor, Ryozo Hiranuma, and the city of Yokohama. It symbolized the first step in a new relationship between Yokohama and Portland. For the first time since the war, many Portlanders started to become reenergized about the idea of once again having a relationship with Japan; both culturally and from a business standpoint.

MA INTA INING ME ANING AND STRENGTHENING BOND S

It has been 63 years since the peace lantern first arrived in Portland, establishing a friendship with the city of Yokohama. But like many friend-ships, time has a way of creating a distance and perhaps making us ponderthe strength of its bond.

Last year, when Portland Japanese Garden Curator Sadafumi Uchiyama was visiting Japan, his Sensei Professor Isoya Shinji asked him for advice. i

Professor Sinji had been selected as an advisor to the 33rd Annual National Urban Greenery Fair in Japan. The city of Yokohama had won the bid to host the three month event, which is highly celebrated in Japan.

“Professor Sinji did not want just flowers in a garden for the Urban Greenery Fair. He was looking for a symbol; something tangible. He believes that landscape has everything to do with human culture and the acknowledgement of history. Over dinner one night I mentioned, ‘we have our stone lantern from Yokohama,’ and that was it. That is how it started. It was a very casual conversation,” said Uchiyama. All of a sudden things start moving.

AN IDE A TA KE S HOLD

Professor Shinji presented the idea of a peace lantern to the city of Yokohama.

The city decided and Mayor Fumiko Hayashi supported the idea – to not just com-memorate, but have an actual object made that would stay in a garden in Yokohama. City leaders decided to make a replica of the peace lantern.

The city had hoped to display the peace lantern similarly to how it is displayed at the Portland Japanese Garden.

On March 25th at the grand opening of the event, the city of Yokohama revealed its peace lantern to the city. It was widely received, especially when the story of its origin was told.

“It’s a small thing between two relationships and two cities. It’s really a relationship or friendship that has been revived. And now, it will only continue to grow stronger. Because after 63 years, all the old memories are back and that is a wonderful thing,” Uchiyama said.

L ANTERN IN LITTLE JA PANE SE G A RDEN REVIVE S OLD FRIENDSHIP

The peace lantern at the Portland Japanese Garden, now with moss on its top, sits on the east bank of the Upper Strolling Pond and serves as a reminder of a deep desire for understanding and appreciation between two diverse cultures.

Now, 63 years later and nearly five-thousand miles away, an exact replica of the Portland peace lantern sits in a little garden in Yokohama, Japan casting the “Light of Everlasting Peace.”

“All of a sudden it becomes real again and our relationship is back today,” said Uchiyama.

O-Bon is a Buddhist memorial festival, which dates back more than 1300 years in Japan. From August 13-15, Buddhist services are held at temples and homes throughout Japan to pray for one's ancestors and particularly for those who have died within the past year. This serves as a reminder of the impor-tance of family ties, as a gesture of respect for those who have gone before, and as an acknowledgment of the brevity and preciousness of life as a family.

In traditional beliefs, the spirits of the ancestors come back to their homes to be reunited with their family during O-Bon. A few days before August 13, people visit the cemetery to clean the family graves and pay their respects. People also clean their homes and offer a variety of foods to the spirits of ancestors in front of their butsudan (family altar), which is decorated with flowers and paper lanterns. On the 13th, the lanterns are lit inside the house, and people go to their family's graves to call their ancestors' spirits back home in a ritual called mukae-bon. In some regions, fires are lit at the entrances to homes to guide the ancestors’ spirits. This is why O-Bon is often called the Festival of Lanterns or the Festival of Lights.

On the 16th, people guide the ancestors’ spirits back to the graves, carrying or hanging lanterns painted with the family crest along the way to guide the spirits. This is called okuri-bon. In some regions, fires are lit at entrances of homes to send the spirits on their way.

"O-Bon is a time to reflect on our immortality and remind ourselves

that we are not alone, but that we are members of a vast and ancient

society made up of both our forebears and of future generations."

O-Bon, the Spirit Festival

The whole family is welcome at this year’s celebration of the traditional Japanese Tanabata festival - our first ever in the Garden’s new Cultural Village. Take part in Tanabata customs like folding origami paper ornaments and writing wishes on colorful strips of paper called tanzaku. Enjoy Kamishibai storytelling and music as you explore the Garden’s new spaces.

August 16-17

Tōrō-nagashi, a ceremony of floating lanterns, is cele-brated in many regions on the last night of the festival. Paper lanterns are lit from inside with candles and floated down the river or into the sea to guide the spirits of their ancestors back home to the spirit world. Dancing is also part of the O-Bon festival. Bon-odori is a traditional, religious folk dance performed in prefec-tures all around Japan on the last day of O-Bon.

At the Garden we join together to dance and light float-ing candles on the Upper Pond beside the Moon Bridge and remember those who are no longer with us. As Reverend Zuigaku Kodachi chants the Lotus Sutra, we think of our loved ones as we light the tōrō nagashi lanterns and watch as they drift across the Upper Pond.

Summer brings an exhilarating new direction for the Art in the Garden series as we explore the flamboyant and fanciful traditional performing art of Kabuki through an exhibition of authentic costumes on loan from Japan.

Originating in the 17th century, Kabuki continues to flourish today at the Ka-bukiza Theater in Tokyo. The space was re-designed in 2013 by Kengo Kuma by commission of the Shochiku Co. Ltd, whose costume master, Tsuji Masao, is guest curator of this exhibition.

Kabuki is said to have begun in 1603 when a young woman named Izumo no Okuni began performing a new style of dance for the townspeople along the dry riverbeds of Kyoto. To “protect the public morality,” the Tokugawa Shogunate issued a ban against female dancers later in the 17th century, resulting in all-male performances of both male and female roles that continues to the present day.

The word Kabuki literally refers to the lively song and dance performanc-es that brought to life the exuberant culture of languid kimono-clad courtesans and their swaggering downtown companions exquisitely depicted in ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

The new urban culture that developed around Kabuki theater inspired a lively popular culture among the merchant class in the entertainment quarters of both Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo). It fostered exciting new directions in the design of textiles, painting, and printmaking. This included the creation of the “playbills” and posters we have come to know as ukiyo-e, pictures of the “floating world” depicting life among the actors and courtesans who inhabited the geisha quarters of both cities.

KABUKI

A REVOLUTION IN

COLOR AND DESIGN

Photos provided by Shochiku Co. Ltd. & Shochiku Costume Co. Ltd.

The Kabuki stage provided an exciting new form of entertainment with new music and dance performed by famous actors, who were (and continue to be) the wildly popular celebrities of their day. The brilliantly hand-dyed and lavishly embroidered silk costumes exploded on stage in a riot of color creating a revolu-tion in the world of color and design, which contin-ues to be celebrated internationally.

For those who associate Japanese aesthetics with the subtle and understated wabi taste of tea ceremony, the bold designs and brilliant colors of the world of Kabuki may come as a surprise to those who think of Zen and wabi-sabi when they think of Japan.

The shitamachi downtown culture that arose in the 17th century from the denizens of the “floating world” of Edo (now Tokyo) shatters all such illusions! The ladies of the entertainment quarter became the fashionistas of their day, a coveted departure from the more reserved attire of the upper classes. The culture merchant class reflected urban life in the streets of Edo, filled with romantic adventures and life and death battles between good and evil.

July 29 – September 3, 2017

A selection of 18th and 19th century prints depicting kabuki actors from the private collection of Irwin Lavenberg will be on view in the Tanabe Gallery to provide a context for the lavish display of Kabuki costumes that are the centerpiece of the exhibition Kabuki: A Revolution in Color and Design.

Kabuki on Stage: A Solo Performance brings Kabuki star Nakamura Umemaru from Tokyo to the Portland Japanese Garden for only two nights to perform Tenaraiko, one of the most beloved dances in the Kabuki repertoire, courtesy of Shochiku Co. Ltd. in Japan.

Each night’s performance begins with young Umemaru arriving on stage without full make-up and costuming and we watch as he applies make-up, an elaborate wig, and elaborate costume that transforms him into the onnagata role of a lovely young maiden, assisted by Kabuki actor Nakamura Umeno.

A BOUT THE P ERFORMANCE

A rising star among Kabuki actors in Tokyo, the talented Nakamura Umemaru plays the role of a young girl on her way home from a calligraphy lesson who fantasizes about the life ahead of her, composing imaginary love poems from the words she wrote in class as butterflies dance around her.

Female roles, or onnagata, have been played by men on the Kabuki stage since laws prohibiting women from stage performances to protect the public decency were enacted in the 17th century. It is said that onnagata actors are able to capture the essence of the feminine spirit, and their studied movements and graceful poses represent the quintessential woman.

If you’ve attended a Member event at the Garden over the past few years, it’s likely that you are familiar with Torii Mor winery – they have contributed 100% of the wine served at the Garden since 2009.

Garden Members may recognize the Japanese word Torii, referring to a Shinto gate, in the winery’s name. Mor, on the other hand, is ancient Norwegian for “earth,” a nod to owner Dr. Don Olson’s heritage. Torii Mor then, is the “gate to the earth,” Olson’s way of acknowledging the terroir, or the influence nature and “place” have on the distinct character of a wine. He likens this to the Shinto concept of Kami and how the uniqueness of a vineyard directly adjacent to another will be reflected in the wines produced from each. As Olson simply puts it, “special wine comes from a special place.”

While Torii Mor’s wine is made from local grapes grown in their vineyards in Dundee, both the winery’s aesthetic and Olson’s personal life philosophy are highly influenced by Japanese culture and gardens. “To me,” Olson says, “the [Portland Japanese] Garden is balance. I need a place to find peace, and all facets of the Garden do that.” In Dundee, he’s created his own peaceful haven, offering guests an opportunity to stroll their garden and the grounds around the tasting room, or sip their wine from the deck overlooking the vineyards. “The world’s got to slow down somewhere,” he continues, “it might as well be here.”

Our Members have particularly enjoyed Torii Mor’s “Disruption” white wine, a refreshing blend of pinot blanc and viognier made specifically for the Garden. At our Grand Opening celebrations in March, we were honored to serve guests from around the world a full range of great wines from Torii Mor, and we look forward to welcoming our Members to the Garden this fall for an exclusive tasting event. In the meanwhile, we recommend you take the trip to visit our close friends in Dundee this summer.
