The Iyo Stone plaque, marking the 1968 dedication
The Iyo Stone is located in the Portland Japanese Garden, a traditional Japanese garden within Portland, Oregon's Washington Park, in the United States. It is a tribute to the first president of the Japanese Garden Society of Oregon, Philip Englehart, who served from 1963 to 1964.
History[]
On January 15, 1963, the first Board Meeting of the Japanese Garden Society of Oregon was held, where Englehart was elected president. During his tenure, Englehart played an "active role" in securing materials for the gardens and traveling to Japan to get authentic pieces.[1]
In June 1968, the Iyo Stone arrived from Japan and was added to the garden to commemorate Englehart's 1963–1964 presidency.[2] He was the first president of the society.[3]
