The pictures on this page are of the Japanese Garden in Portland, OR. 
The Japanese Garden is a 5.5 acre formal garden designed by Professor Takuma Tono in 1963.

An ornamental tree with over 400 cultivars. Their beauty and variation in form and colors provide a tree which can fit almost any landscaping need. Japanese maples are unique. Their variations of color in their leaves beginning with spring growth, changing in summer, and finishing with a beautiful burst of fall color, provides a beautiful picture year round. Japanese Maples are widely used as specimen plants.
