Los Angeles Chapter Special Workshop
September 6, 7, 8, and 9, 2024
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LA Chapter conducted a special four day workshop from September 6 through 9, 2024 at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center. We were honored to have Professor Daiji Miura accept our invitation to travel from Japan to conduct this special workshop. The workshop curriculum included two Rikka classes (one advanced) as well as Shoka Shofutai and Shoka Shimputai classes. But what was most special was an all day demonstration of Professor Miura assembling a majestic Taisaku arrangement with the assistance of the LA Chapter teachers. Please enjoy the wonderful photos made available by one of our chapter members of the progression of the arrangement that day from start to finish. The link to the photos is: https://adobe.ly/4ewO2rA

The Los Angeles Chapter of Ikenobo Ikebana is one of the largest chapters outside of Japan with over 300 members. The purpose of the chapter is to foster appreciation of Ikenobo Ikebana. There are over 20 active teachers in the Los Angeles area teaching classes, giving demonstrations, and holding exhibitions throughout the year. There is usually some Ikenobo event being held each month.
Ikebana is one of the traditional arts of Japan. The Japanese characters for Ikebana literally mean “living flowers” and is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Also known as Kado (“the way of flowers”), ikebana is considered one of the meditative art forms in Japan.
