Ikebana Japanese Flower Arrangement Class
About this Event
This session is the Introductory Course (6:30 pm – 8:30 pm). No experience necessary — this is the right starting point if you are new to Ohara-style Ikebana.
IKEBANA, one of the most traditional art forms of Japan, represents an “Appreciation of Nature,” offering a unique and refined approach to flower arrangement. In this class, we don’t simply arrange flowers. We learn how to observe and work with nature. The arrangement comes out of that process, rather than being constructed.
In this small group in-person course, we provide an opportunity for people of all levels to learn Ohara-style Ikebana, one of the most established Ikebana institutions in the world. Here, you will not only master the basic techniques of Ohara Ikebana, but also learn how to bring an awareness of nature into your everyday life.
For those who wish to pursue a deeper level of study, we will introduce the curriculum of the Ohara School of Ikebana, through which you may receive certification from the headquarters in Tokyo.
Just want to give it a try? Feel free to join us for any single class.
All materials are included — plate, kenzan (pin frog), cloth, water, scissors, wire, floral tape, bamboo skewers, and the flowers for your practice.
After class you are welcome to take the flower materials home with you. Please note that all other equipment must remain at RESOBOX. If you would like to rearrange the flowers at home you will need your own kenzan and plate — ask your instructor if you would like to purchase them.
