Since its inception in 2020\, the Living Traditions series has been unraveling the historical journeys of some of the most iconic facets of Japanese culture through conversations between thought-provoking experts and cultural stewards. Previously only available virtually\, Living Traditions held its first in-person gathering in 2024. This second in-person installment continues the endeavor’s efforts to explore the ever-increasing significance of “Living in Harmony with Nature” at the intersection of architecture\, landscape architecture\, and art.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nLiving Traditions is presented by Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden in partnership with Japan Society (NY). The series is supported by the Government of Japan.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nThis in-person program will be recorded for later sharing.Previous online program recordings are available for viewing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
