Ohara School arrangement in Crowne Plaza Hotel |
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.

The Constructional Arrangement
Constructional arrangement is using branches as a frame. It is a
very unique way to arrange. Above was arranged at home before leaving to
oversea. E-class,comments from Ms Lin, because I will miss two October
classes. (10-09-13)

The 12th NAOTA Conference
The 12th NAOTA conference was held on September 30 to October 4 in Philadelphia, USA. Demonstration was conducted by Associate Professor Akihiro Nishi. It was breathtaking to watch Mr.Nishi demonstrate 8 huge arrangements. Observation of nature is very important because the Ohara School emphasizes seasonal qualities, growth processes, and the beauty of natural environments. It was eyes opening to me for the Ikebana world and have to thank my friend Vivian invite
me to the demonstration and dinner.(10-04-13)
