On one side, a platform arises from water and features a rotating assortment of different <em>bonsai<\/em> ranging from Chinese wisteria to western hemlock, to shore pine to vine maple. On small shelves on a stucco wall are <em>kusamono<\/em>, accent plants that often accompany bonsai: sometimes, lupine, lady fern and violet, aster and vetch, or Douglas iris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jubitz Oregon Terrace\u2019s most notable sights and sounds come from its water feature. Long columns of volcanic basalt stand asymmetrically, that in spring are crowned by sunny yellow blooms of <em>yamabuki<\/em> (pleniflora) and set against a backdrop of bright orange and red leaves in fall. At the base are dry white rocks, perched above a small sliding waterfall that lies on stone like linen on a bed, with ribbons of water dropping into a clear pool. The result is a sound that evokes a steady rainfall, a particular kind of audio balm different from the rush of the Heavenly Falls in the <a href=\"https:\/\/japanesegarden.org\/garden-spaces\/strolling-pond-garden\/\">Strolling Pond Garden<\/a> or languid flow of streams in the <a href=\"https:\/\/japanesegarden.org\/garden-spaces\/natural-garden\/\">Natural Garden<\/a>. In total, it evokes thoughts of one of Japan\u2019s most beloved natural landmarks: Takachiho Gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=1915888728  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.japanesegarden.org\/cb:NhfT.31879\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/id:8850439e380d6e99814ab549266cb35f\/https:\/\/japanesegarden.org\/9480251988_caacc622b1_k.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41781\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Takachiho Gorge.

Uchiyama is also the <em>niwashi<\/em> (garden master) who designed the space, as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/japanesegarden.org\/cultural-village\/\">Garden\u2019s 2017 Cultural Crossing Expansion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=148091091  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.japanesegarden.org\/cb:NhfT.31879\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/id:3bcc71b18ba5e70a8cdcb909762142d8\/https:\/\/japanesegarden.org\/Inhotim-Museum-tour-8006.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1917\" height=\"1280\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28025\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sadafumi (Sada) Uchiyama, Curator Emeritus of Portland Japanese Garden since 2024 and formerly Garden Curator (2008-21), Chief Curator (2021-23), and Director of the Japanese Garden Training Center. Photo by Nina Johnson.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uchiyama notes that the Jubitz Oregon Terrace highlights a geographical connection between the Pacific Northwest and Japan through the use of the volcanic columnar basalt. These rocks are not common occurrences on this planet, as they are caused from volcanic eruptions and must form near sources of water. Fittingly, the basalt was mined out of both the Snake River Canyon and area near Palouse Falls in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond this, the Takachiho Gorge is situated in one of the highest elevations of southern Japan, Similarly, the Jubitz Oregon Terrace is located in the loftiest reaches of Portland Japanese Garden. However, Uchiyama notes that he wasn\u2019t simply copying his home prefecture\u2019s famous landmark to create this stunning landscape\u2014he doesn\u2019t seek to copy nature, but rather the <em>experience<\/em> of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=465879497  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.japanesegarden.org\/cb:NhfT.31879\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/japanesegarden.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2023_05_03_Spring_PhotoByPJG-20-scaled.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41782\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Jubitz Oregon Terrace&#8217;s water feature in spring. Photo by Portland Japanese Garden.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I see basalt, that\u2019s where my mind goes, but I never tried in a conscious way to equate it to the Takachiho Gorge. It\u2019s where I am most familiar with columns of basalt. So when I saw it, somehow my brain registered my upbringing. I was probably following that as a design guideline,\u201d Uchiyama shared. His vision of the overall site design and new gardens was to create a subtle unfolding journey from the cacophonic noise of modern life to the peaceful tranquility of the existing Garden oasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI realized at the end of the process what was guiding me,\u201d Uchiyama continued. \u201cI didn\u2019t necessarily try to recreate or mimic those features, but somehow, maybe subconsciously I was following that journey of water. To me, this water feature, placed at this high elevation, symbolizes the source of the Willamette and Columbia rivers that nurture our lives and spirits in the Portland area, just as the Takachiho Gorge does for those who live in my home region of Kyushu.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To visit the Jubitz Oregon Terrace, take either the stairs or elevator to the second floor of the Learning Center, the same building in which the Gift Shop is located. Though the large sliding door may appear imposing, you are invited to open it and spend some time in this less frequented Garden space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn more about the Jubitz Oregon Terrace, an often-overlooked spot of beauty and repose at Portland Japanese Garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":41700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"administrative":[],"class_list":["post-41780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art-education","has-post-img","the-blue-bar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>This Often-Overlooked Space at Portland Japanese Garden Evokes Feelings of Famed Japanese Landmark &#8211;
