Ikebana Workshop: Celebrating Spring with the Art of Japanese Flower Arranging
"Ikebana”, the art of Japanese flower arranging, has evolved significantly from its origins as temple offerings many centuries ago. It is now a popular living art form that emphasizes the harmony of simple linear construction and the appreciation of the delicate beauty of flowers and natural materials. In Ikebana, carefully selected elements are arranged not only to create a visually pleasing effect, but also to convey a sense of balance, harmony, and beauty in impermanence. In this class, instructor Felicia Pan-Fea will guide students through an east meet west style arrangement, allowing students to gain hands-on experience and explore their creativity. The session will begin with a brief presentation from Japanese Studies Librarian Setsuko Noguchi.
