THE GARDEN PATH
MAY 2015 • VOLUME 14 • NUMBER 5
AROUND THE GARDEN: A PATH MORE TRAVELED
Like everything in a Japanese Garden, the pathways that
guide one through the Garden are as carefully thought
through as the scenes they lead to. A pace may quicken
on a wide, smooth path encouraging friends to look up and
chat. A stroll may slow on uneven stones, directing a visitor’s
attention down and inward. It’s all there to influence how one
experiences the garden.
Over the past four years, we’ve been adjusting our pathways
to allow more visitors to experience as much of the Garden as
possible while also remaining authentic to Japanese gardening
aesthetic principles. This has included three major projects
Moon Bridge Before
Moon Bridge After
Granite Bridge Before
Granite Bridge After
Zig Zag Bridge Before
Zig Zag Bridge After
over the last four years.
• The Moon Bridge: It’s hard to remember that the moon
bridge didn’t always have the beautiful stone pavement.
But in 2011 we replaced the stone blocks at the bridge’s
landing point with paved stones that allow easier access
to the bridge.
• The Granite Bridge: Along the stream between the Moon
Bridge and the Lower Pond was this narrow granite bridge.
In 2014/2015, we widened it with an additional section. At
the same time, we re-graded the approaches on both sides
of the bridge with wider, nobedan pathways.
• The Zig-Zag Bridge: From 2011-2014, the Garden has been
working on a significant widening project of the Zig-Zag
Bridge which included re-grading the southeast entry point
and “bumping out” a section of the bridge. These projects
enable a smooth flow of visitor traffic while creating an
easier turnaround point. Expert garden designers have
reviewed the changes and concur that the design is an
innovative approach to accessibility while remaining
authentic to Japanese garden aesthetics.

a crucial role in the financial support of the Garden. Additionally, we
count on and appreciate the generosity of our members who contribute

partner with the Mashiko Ceramics and Arts Association
(MCAA), the Oregon Potters Association (OPA), and the
Pucker Gallery of Boston to bring the work of 13 Mashiko
artists, including masterworks by the great Living National
Treasure artists Shoji Hamada and Tatsuzo Shimaoka.
At the heart of the exhibition is the work of 11 contemporary
Mashiko potters who have struggled to rebuild their kilns and
their community following the earthquake of 2011 in which
much fine work was lost. Former students and friends from

MORE SERENITY, LESS DRIVING
Summertime in Portland is a joy to behold. With it comes blue skies,
no humidity, warm sunny days . . . and more tourists, which admittedly
can make parking in Washington Park challenging. This summer, stay
serene with a few insider tips:
• Take Public Transportation: Starting May 2, the free shuttle within
Washington Park, as well as shuttle service to off-site parking lots, will
be back up and running. The Washington Park free shuttle will run
from 9:00am to 6:00pm every 15 minutes on a one-way loop through
the park. The free shuttle will run weekends only in May, September
and October and daily June through August. It will stop at most of the
attractions in the park, and serves as a great link between the Portland
Japanese Garden and the Washington Park MAX which is served by
both the Blue and Red lines. In addition to the free Washington Park
Shuttle, TriMet’s Line 63-Washington Park/Arlington Heights bus and
Line 83-Washington Park Loop, service the Park.
• Park Smart: If you decide to drive, don’t forget that now you can pay
for parking via your smartphone using the free Passport Parking app
available on iTunes and Google Play. You can also pay for parking at
m.ppprk.com or by calling (503) 278-5748.
