“We see our Japanese garden as a depository of all kinds of emotions...Everyone is a human being. Language, cultural background, and ethnicity doesn’t matter. We are accepting. We welcome the human being. We provide the essential experience of being a human being in harmony with nature. We try to bring human beings closer to that harmony.” - Sadafumi Uchiyama, Curator Emerita of Portland Japanese Garden #portlandjapanesegarden #fallcolors | Portland Japanese Garden
