After 32 years I retired from Jones New York Company as pattern maker. Working at the garden and seeing beautiful flowers is the best way to lessen my frustrations. Since 2008 I joined Sogetsu School Ikebana class under Ms.Meei-Huey Lin,well known Ikebana Instructor in this area. I would like to share with you some of my Ikebana arrangements done at the classes. Welcome for your kind criticism.

Japan Kyushu tour
I was always fascinated by Japan's history and culture. We visited Japan on January 17,2012, and joined Kyushu Japan tour for 8 days. We enjoyed so many Onsen (hot spring) also learned a lot about Japan. Here are some pictures I took from Ibusuki Onsen hotel. Ibusuki hotel was a huge Japanese style Onsen hotel. You will get lost easily in it. They displayed giant bamboo Ikebana arrangement in the corner or on "Tokonoma "(special ta-ta-mi room where paintings and flower arrangements are displayed), which you won't miss when you passed by.
