Portland Japanese Garden | Portland, OR | Takuma Tono
Proclaimed by Nobuo Matsunago, the former Ambassador of Japan to the United States, as “the most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden in the world outside of Japan,” the Portland Japanese Garden is a 5.5-acre haven of tranquility and beauty nestled in the West Hills of Portland.
Designed by Professor Takuma Tono—considered one of the most important landscape architects of his time in Japan—in 1963, the Portland Japanese Garden draws its influences from Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophies. Within the 5.5 acres, the garden consists of five distinct garden styles, each asymmetrical in design and reflect nature in an idealized form.

THESE PHOTOS ARE SO JUICY AND DELICIOUS I HAVE TO USE CAPITALS.
Ok, bit calmer now. This is Sanlihe Ecological Corridor in Qian’an City and it’s designed by Turenscape (but of course you knew that, they’re the luscious-wetland-with-boardwalks-and-red-bits-that-used-to-be-a-rubbish-dump masters).
I’m going to have a bit of these photos with my coffee for breakfast, you’re welcome to join me.
