SUMMARY:Ikebana International Chrysanthemum Show 2024
DESCRIPTION:\nCelebrating the Chrysanthemum Festival (Kiku Matsuri)\n\n\n\nPhoto: Jonathan Ley\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 7th\, 2024 / 10:00am – 5:00pm*\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 8th\, 2024 / 10:00am – 5:00pm*\n\n\n\n*This show will also be open during Member Hours starting at 9:00am\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIkebana International (Portland Chapter #47) celebrates the chrysanthemum in this special\, two-day only exhibition in the Pavilion. Ikebana International first celebrated Kiku Matsuri\, the Chrysanthemum Festival\, at Portland Japanese Garden in 1983. Local ikebana artists from various schools\, or styles\, will create arrangements featuring chrysanthemums\, known as kiku in Japanese. On Sunday at 1:15 pm\, the show will also feature an&nbsp\;ikebana demonstration by Nana Bellerud\, President of Ikebana International Portland Chapter #47\, in the Learning Center.\n\n\n\nKiku Matsuri\, or Choyo no Sekku\, observed in Japan on September 9\, is the final of the five seasonal Go-Sekku festivals in Japan's traditional lunar calendar. Chrysanthemums symbolize longevity\, dignity\, and nobility. A 16-petaled chrysanthemum even appears on the imperial family crest. The flower has been cultivated in Japan since it was first introduced in China in the 8th century. \n\n\n\nIkebana\, a Japanese artform\, has been translated as “living flowers” or “giving life to flowers\,” and is unique from other approaches to flower arrangement. In ikebana\, asymmetry and the use of empty space are essential features of the overall composition. A sense of harmony among the materials\, the container\, and the setting is also crucial.\n\n\n\nWelcome arrangement at 2023 show by Carolyn Alter\, Ohara School of Ikebana Oregon Chapter\n\n\n\nAbout Ikebana International \n\n\n\nIkebana International is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of ikebana.
