SUMMARY:Four Seasons of Gardens in Kyoto: Photographs by Katsuhiko Mizuno
DESCRIPTION:April 25 – July 31\, 2019\nFour Seasons of Gardens in Kyoto: Photographs by Katsuhiko Mizuno\n『四季の京都の庭園』写真　水野克比古\nJapanese culture has been strongly influenced by foreign culture and aesthetics from time to time\, such as Chinese Buddhism  in the ancient period\, Zen Buddhism in medieval times\, Confucian philosophy during the Edo Shogunate\, and European modern civilization in the Meiji period. Japanese gardens were not an exception and experienced constant transfiguration under foreign influence. However\, over the centuries\, although in different forms\, Japanese gardens maintained some kind of continuity. One of the unique characteristics of the Japanese garden is the relationship between man and nature. \nIn describing his own creations of over 40 years\, Kyoto-born photographer Katsuhiko Mizuno has said that nothing in his photos is either purely artificial or purely natural. He always sees someone’s hands or glances behind a tree or a rock in the gardens and captures the aura of timeless spirits with his camera. In the old capital of Kyoto even nature unfolds its seasonal cycle in the context of human history. \nApril 25 – July 31\, 2019 \nShow GALLERY HOURS  \nMon 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nTues 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nWed 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \nThurs 11:30 am – 6:30 pm EXTENDED HOURS \nFri 11:30 am – 4:30 pm \n  \nSaturday openings: \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \nApril 27\, May 11\, June 8&22\, July 6&20 \nDoors Open Toronto 10:00 am – 5:00 pm: May 25&26 \nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays \nVictoria Day May 20\, Canada Day: July 1 \nAdmission Free \n \n  \nADMISSION: FREE \n  \nShow The Japan Foundation\, Toronto  \n2 Bloor Street East \nHudson’s Bay Centre\, 3rd floor \nAbove Royal Bank of Canada \nwww.jftor.org 416.966.1600 x229

SUMMARY:Japanese Gardens: Visions and Practices of a Kyoto Gardener
DESCRIPTION:Reservations are now closed. Thank you for your interest. We will have a rush line starting 30 minutes before the event\, and will start to release unclaimed seats 10 minutes before the event. \nIn conjunction with our current exhibition\, Four Seasons of Gardens in Kyoto\, Hugo Torii will introduce his work and past projects in various Japanese gardens\, and give an overview of different Japanese garden styles. The talk will also cover topics such as how gardeners develop the essence of a garden through the combination of different features\, how the function of a Japanese garden influences garden design and Japanese gardening concepts and how they shape both our perception and our ability to experience and appreciate elements of a Japanese garden. \nHugo Torii is currently the Director of Ground Maintenance at the Portland Japanese Garden in Portland\, Oregon. He earned his Master’s degree in Landscape Design from the Kyoto University of Art and Design and has studied both Japanese gardens and Japanese aesthetics in horticulture; he also has a background in floristry. During his career to date\, Hugo Torii has spent over 3 years at Peter Berg Landscape Design in Rheinland-Pfalz\, Germany\, and 12 years’ working for Ueyakato Landscape Co. Ltd.\, as a Gardener and Landscape Architect in Kyoto\, Japan. During this time he also managed several projects of note including the Japanese garden and greeneries for the 24-hectare Keihanna Commemorative Park and the 5\,000 square-meter Yosuien Japanese strolling pond garden. Other projects included the annual maintenance of pine trees at Nijo Castle and Team Leader in the street trees maintenance program of Kyoto City.
