Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers.” Join us from 1:15-2:15pm for an Ikebana presentation by Meng Markillie, of the Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter, in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.

ABOUT THE OHARA SCHOOL OF IKEBANA

The Ohara School of Ikebana emphasizes connecting with nature season by season, utilizing the materials’ individual character, and arranging it in a naturalistic way. They are known for moribana, which broke with more traditional and formal vertical styles, creating new horizontal “landscape” arrangements, with flowers “heaped” (moru) in lower plate-like containers.
