Ikebana for Early Summer

Join us for a peaceful and inspiring floral design experience exploring the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana. This month we are honored to feature the Kado Sensho Ikenobo School, a distinguished tradition known for its deep respect for Ikebana’s rich history and its emphasis on simple, elegant designs that allow each designer to express their individuality. Participants will learn about the philosophy and traditions of the Ikenobo style while practicing how to create harmonious, balanced arrangements using exclusively natural materials. The demonstration theme, “Early Summer Rain,” reflects the quiet beauty of flowers after a summer storm—petals softened and bent by the rain, imperfect yet still deeply beautiful. Inspired by this moment in nature, participants will explore how simplicity, balance, and natural form can express both resilience and creativity, letting the flowers themselves guide the design process.
