A Monthly Publication of the Portland Japanese Garden
Shown in galleries around the world, Kyoto
artist Hiroshi Saito’s beautifully dyed and
handcrafted garments, scarves and wallhangings
reflect his background in the
world of traditional Kyoto kimono dyeing.
His contemporary work expresses the joy
of artistic creation while demonstrating his
mastery of traditional yuzen and rokketsuzome
dyeing techniques. Saito also believes
strongly in the power of art to provide
solace and inspiration, using his art to work
with AIDS support groups, the disabled, and
most recently with tsunami victims in Japan.
In keeping with this year’s Healing Garden
theme, this summer’s Art in the Garden
exhibition focuses on the healing qualities of
art from the perspective of an accomplished
Japanese artist who has touched the lives
of people in need. Hiroshi Saito is a warmhearted
and generous artist and the Garden
is honored to have him as a special guest
during the opening days of the exhibition.
Born in Yokohama, an international
port city known for its cosmopolitan
atmosphere, Hiroshi Saito rejected the
prospect of a business career and set out
for Kyoto, which was the capital of Japan
for more than 1000 years and the birthplace
of the traditional arts of Japan. There
he undertook a grueling apprenticeship
with a Kyoto kimono dyer and sought a
new direction—one with more freedom to

Threads of Hope: Art as Social Practice
in the Textile Work of Hiroshi Saito
June 8–July 1 • Pavilion Gallery • Included with Garden admission
Diane Durston, Curator of Culture, Art, and Education
“Art is a wound turned into light.” – Georges Braque
express his ideas as an artist. He became
involved in the world of Butoh, an avant
garde dance form performed in white body
makeup with slow, controlled movements,
often in otherworldly environments. Saito
used his traditional dyeing skills to create
fabric installations in conjunction with
these performances.
In the late 1980s, Saito was invited to
participate in an art installation project
at St. John the Divine Cathedral in New
York City, dyeing fabric outdoors in Central
Park and draping the cathedral with long
banners of beautifully dyed cloth. The
installation created the backdrop for a fiveday
series of events, including musical

performances and dance, the proceeds of
which went to benefit the Gay Men’s Health Crisis in
fighting AIDS. At the close of the event, Saito donated
the dyed banners to the National Names Project, which
used fabric to make thousands of quilt panels bearing
the names of people who had died of AIDS. “It’s like our
lives,” he said of the project. “Cotton is taken from the
earth and then returned in another form.”
When one of his friends died of AIDS, Saito returned
to Japan to launch the first AIDS memorial quilt project
there, a project that was to change his life forever. It
occurred to him for the first time that his fabric could be
used to help others in ways he never imagined.
For the past 30 years–in addition to his ongoing work as
a successful studio artist of colorful wall hangings and
textiles for use in the world of fashion–Saito has devoted
much of his time using his art to help the underserved
by working with the disabled. Saito is currently working
with Tohoku tsunami victims who are still living in
shelters in Northern Japan.
This textile exhibition at the Garden features beautifully
designed garments, scarves, and wall hangings created
in Saito’s Kyoto studio. He works with cotton, silk and
natural bast fibers, as well as with wool muslin. Muslin
is a light, soft to the touch and inexpensive cloth that
breathes. It is one of the best fabrics to dye because of
the beautiful way it takes and shows color. It has been
made in Japan since the 1800s, but has recently been
disappearing from the fashion world. Now as a result of
the efforts of Saito and a small but dedicated group of
textile artists, production levels are rising for the first
time in decades.
The exhibition includes a community collaboration
project with the Cascade AIDS Project, Our House,
and with members of social service organizations in
Portland. Participants from Art from the Heart, which
serves the developmentally disabled, will engage in
workshops to learn dyeing techniques from Saito. The
dyed fabric they create will be sent to people in shelters
in Tohoku as a symbol of our support for the ongoing
struggles of tsunami survivors in Northern Japan.
The Art in the Garden exhibition series is sponsored in part
by the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation

Official Portland Rose Festival Event
Each year for the past 40 years,

embraces the use of western floral materials such as the
rose, but the Sogetsu School is known for its willingness to
explore new ideas and materials. The Sogetsu philosophy

Tree Planting at Japanese Garden Portrays Significance of Friendship with Japan
photos: Mary Keith Agnew
As part of a nationwide centennial celebration, cherry tree
plantings have been planned in 36 cities across the U.S. in
2012. Flowering cherry trees have been symbols of Japan’s
friendship with the people of America for 100 years. In 1912,
more than 3,000 cherry trees were gifted from the city of
Tokyo to the city of Washington, D.C. as a symbol of lasting
friendship from the people of Japan. Since that time,
Japanese organizations have made gifts of cherry trees
to America to commemorate significant milestones in the
relationship between Japan and the United States.
From left to right: Takamichi Okabe, Consul-General of Japan in Portland, delivers remarks during the cherry tree planting ceremony at the Portland Japanese Garden as part of the
nationwide centennial celebration of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Portland Mayor Sam Adams and Consul-General of Japan in Portland Takamichi Okabe participate in a
commemorative cherry tree planting. A presentation of the Way of Tea celebrating friendship between the U.S. and Japan.
Did you know?
June is the time of year for the irises in our Garden to shine. These beautiful blossoms are
a harbinger of summer. The buds open up in late June to reveal flowers nearly six inches
across in shades of purple and white. The flowers fade in July, leading us into a warm,
relaxing new season. Be sure to enjoy our beautiful beds of irises this summer!

Adam Hart
Adam Hart is one of the gardeners who tend our irises. In late
June, he will be announcing the opening of the first iris bloom,
which will begin our summer membership drive. From the day
the first iris blooms to the day the last iris bloom falls, we will be
partnering with our friends at Columbia Sportswear to offer 25%
off at Columbia Sportswear’s downtown flagship store with
every membership purchased while the irises are in bloom.
Keep tabs on the irises through our Web site and on Facebook and join or

2012 Plant Sale a Success
Thank you to all the donors, members and
volunteers who made this year’s spring
plant sale, held April 28 and 29, a success.
Members from as far away as Bandon and
Bend made special trips for this muchanticipated
annual event. Thanks to our
dedicated members and friends, this
year’s sale was one of the best. In its eightyear
history, the spring plant sale has
generated more than $80,000 in revenue for the Garden. If you’re looking for
more ways to add the highest quality Asian plants to your garden, join us in the
fall for the Japanese maple sale on October 27.
We would like to thank our vendors, listed below, for their terrific offerings
and support of the Garden. A special thanks to Adelman Peony Gardens and
