From the classic beauty of Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto to the contemplative Tenshin-en gardens of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, landscape architect Shiro Nakane understands both the value of tradition and the importance of living your moment in history. As the current head of Nakane & Associates, Japan's leading garden research and landscape consulting firm founded by his father Kinsaku Nakane, a revered garden master, Mr. Nakane is in charge of the restoration of some of Japan's most prestigious traditional gardens.

Mr. Nakane will give a lecture that looks at Japanese garden design while posing the question, "How does an artist create something new while also drawing from the past?"

PNCA and Portland Japanese Garden are pleased to co-sponsor this special Idea Studio with Shiro Nakane.
