The Floral Art of Tea Ceremony : New Year Cerebration of Chabana

The New Year season awakens our senses in many ways. Let’s kick up the season with winter cultural experiences. This class will guide us to create Chabana ( 茶花: Japanese Tea Ceremony floral arrangement ) celebrating New Years with willow branches and a small winter blossom highlights the season with a beauty of simplicity. This class also makes Japanese one of traditional New Year decoration Mochibana (餅花, もちばな: rice cake flower), using white and pink colored mochi wrapped around willow branches to simulate blossoms. The seasonal sweets will be served with a bowl of matcha.

Chabana (茶花, literally "tea flowers") is the arrangement of seasonal flowers for a Japanese tea ceremony. Displayed in the tokonoma alcove along with other key thematic elements for the gathering, the chabana style appeals to those who prefer a simple, natural look in their creation. While ikebana and other styles of floral arrangement prescribe their own distinct frameworks, chabana recognizes and transfers the essence of field to vase.
