Ikebana lesson on Dec 9
We created Ikebana works for the New Year! I have 2 more classes of ikebana by the end of the year, and we will prepare for the New Year as today’s lesson. We will be ready for the year of 2024 with these floral compositions!

I created an ikebana work for New Year this week. I used the pine, the bamboo, the ilex as the symbolic flowers for New Year in Japan, and also I chose the mimosa and the mistletoe for the iconic french flowers at this season. I wish you all the Happy New Year!
Ikebana lesson on Dec 10
We practiced the ikebana work for the New Year yesterday. It was difficult to create balance and harmony with more flower materials as usual. However, every participant did a great work! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I created the ikebana work with using the branches of apples and the ornamental cabbages. As for the ornamental cabbages, we often use them for the decoration of the New Year since they are gorgeous and long-lasting. In fact, we call them peony of leaves in Japanese because of their form.
