Come join us for the Garden’s O-Shogatsu celebration!O-Shogatsu is a time of celebration for the start of a new year and hopes of happiness and prosperity to come. At Portland Japanese Garden, we honor the most important holiday in Japan throughout the beginning of the month, ending on January 11 with a festival celebration for our community with traditional decorations and activities.
The Garden will celebrate the beginning of 2026, the Year of the Horse, or uma in Japanese, from 10:00am to 2:30pm with family-friendly activities and performances including sumi-e, Japanese ink-wash painting, and Edo Kotobuki Jishi, the celebratory traditional lion dance of Tokyo, performed by Portland Shishimai Kai. Guests can also admire kadomatsu, or traditional arrangements of pine, bamboo, and plum branches, made by our gardeners.
