    I feel peace just watching this video. I saw this garden once, in a rush, didn’t get to enjoy it much, but it is e gem in Portland. Thank you for this video. I will watch it from time to time.

    Not a woman in sight, plenty of men though that by their voice we know more than we want to about their private practices. Leave it to Portland to take a story about a beautiful garden and racialize it.



  12. jesse barbier on March 28, 2022 at 6:01 pm

    I would love to smoke a joint in there

    Only reason I would ever set foot in Portland



  15. Dorothy Lukins on March 28, 2022 at 6:09 pm

    Lucky Portland, for having this haven we have visited many times. Now, sequestered, it still calms. Dot

    It so much costly and nature unfriendly to construct …. it is for elitist.



  21. Nature Nirvana on March 28, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    Very beautiful.

    If this is your own film, I would love to set this footage to music on my site. I would give you full credit for your beautiful footage. Please respond when you can. Namaste’ CM

    Please tell me that there are red spider lilies there !

    I’m so glad that the original gardener came back to see what he helped create. Many thanks to all who worked to create and maintain this beautiful Japanese garden, this is now on my list of things to see before I die (turning 73 soon). The pandemic changed a lot of my travel plans but this garden is now #1 on my list.



  26. AtomOnX on March 28, 2022 at 6:18 pm

    I can’t believe I’ve been living in Portland for all of my life but didn’t know about this place



  27. Helene on March 28, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    Wow, I just stumbled across this video while looking for ideas for a Japanese garden. I never knew this one existed before and it is truly remarkable, being a Japanese garden in a climate supporting cedars and firs. It is a stupendous effort; I think it is the most beautiful public-scale garden I have ever seen.

    *Portland has a long-history* of tree preservation, preserving some of the Rarest Trees in the World!

    really impressed with the earthquake proof castle wall. I didn’t understand not using cement until he explained it. Very creative



  32. David Bacon on March 28, 2022 at 6:29 pm

    E.O.9066 – – – interesting that DRUG-CRAZED rioters are more or less accepted!



  33. TH on March 28, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    Great Japanese garden!! Love it! In north American I love Portland Japanese garden and Nitobe memorial garden in Vancouver.



  34. linda erickson on March 28, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    I was there last June and it was lovely.



  35. Ximena Torres on March 28, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    Es hermoso ese lugar, mágico, lleno de paz y misticismo. Saludos desde la Ciudad de México



  36. 양병학 on March 28, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    Impressive. Japanese style garden in US..



  37. Dominica Roberts on March 28, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Devastating to hear how he was made so unwelcome, even stabbed (omg) when he was here to create something so beautiful. The Japanese Garden is pretty much my favorite thing about Portland, such a source of beauty and peace. I’m glad he was able to return and see how it has flourished here.



  38. Jennifer S on March 28, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    We need more respect for artist craftsmen. Americans do not do everything better.



  39. Ashuj on March 28, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    Why people dislike this?!



  40. Henry Smith on March 28, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    Deeply moved by the guy planting the garden and left and healed when locals accepted the garden. People are natural to suspect foreigners. Living together and seeing a garden exotic yet having its beauty really play a role in easing misunderstanding and tensions. Cogratulations.



  41. Kerrie Redgate on March 28, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    Just too beautiful for words. What a fabulous project to embark upon, especially at that time in American history! Japanese aesthetic culture reached a pinnacle a very long time ago… The thumbs-down here are bots, obviously — AI has no aesthetic sensibilities!



  42. gavin wills on March 28, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    I visited with my daughter. We live in the UK. It is truly an amazing place to visit. So beautiful ❤️



  43. jack jay on March 28, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    That’s cool he came back to the US and saw that we are more tolerable now.



  44. Less Talk, More Delicious on March 28, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    So amazing 🥰

    Typical Japanese Garden in a residential area:

    Whenever I ever Portland someday, this garden is a not missed one. It is beautiful. So sad what happened to Hira. This hatred and bigotry is horrible. I hope he can find solace in time and see this masterpiece with the beauty he planted.

    花鳥風月、侘び寂びの世界です。



  49. bootchop88 on March 28, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    the place is full of bum turds and used heroin syringes. I feel that the gardens could be vastly improved by about 10000 gallons of Roundup weed killer.
