Join Portland Japanese Garden and learn about the way of bonsai directly from Shinji Suzuki, one of Japan’s most esteemed and celebrated bonsai masters, as he makes a rare visit to the United States. Suzuki, living and working in Nagano Prefecture, is widely regarded as a singular figure in contemporary bonsai. He will be joined by respected local experts for an afternoon of presentations, demonstrations, and conversation. Together, they will illuminate the delicate craft of bringing forth a tree’s natural essence—a practice that spans generations and, like the trees themselves, carries life forward.
