JCC is delighted to present a Lecture on Japanese Gardens: A Living World Heritage by Mr Stephen D Bloom, better known as Steve who is the current CEO of Portland Japanese Garden. With an international reputation as the finest Japanese garden outside Japan, the Portland Japanese Garden is a leading voice for the advancement of the field of Japanese gardens—not just as a tranquil place of respite, but as an art form in and of itself with cultural significance to the common heritage of humanity.
Steve Bloom, will be speaking about the coming together of a global network of Japanese gardens, and the leading role the Portland Japanese Garden is playing in facilitating this important dialogue. He will be discussing the past, present, and future of the Garden, and will describe how the Garden’s planned expansion will advance the field through the creation of a unique Japanese Cultural Center and International Institute that will be the first of its kind in the world. Followed by a Question & Answer Session.
There will be a mini showcase of the 12 books in relation to the Japanese gardens around the world which is kindly given by
The Tuttle Publishers.
