Ikenobo Ikebana

Lessons in ikebana, Japanese flower arranging, are held on Tuesday, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm and from 7 pm to 9 pm. Attention given to the choice of materials, and the relationship of the flowers to the container and surrounding space distinguishes this art form from purely decorative arrangements.
