About the event

Through this class, participants will learn moribana which means “piled up flowers” and is always arranged in a shallow container.  The container can be any shape, but needs to be arranged in a shallow, low container with a flat surface which is often referred to as a suiban.  Moribana seeks to emphasize the natural aspect and favors a complete freedom of choice in terms of materials.  There are multiple variations for moribana; participants will learn the basic upright style which is the beginning lesson for moribana. Hasami (shears/scissors) will be used to cut the plant materials and insert into the kenzan. A kenzan (in the US commonly known as a pin frog/ spiky frog) is used for this style of ikebana.  A kenzan is a needle point holder in which the plant materials are stuck into at various angles.  The word kenzan literally translates to “sword mountain”. 


• All materials, tools, and containers are supplied and the participants do not need to bring anything to the class.

• Class will be held at Yanagi Botanic Arts Studio located inside Yobel/ The Look Up Gallery building.
