Obi Tying Demonstration

20 May 2017

Since obi were the theme for this year's ikebana exhibit, the chapter asked Shisho Kikuta to demonstrate how to tie an obi. Kikuta-sensei then invited up to 10 people to come try it.


Yukata and obi laid out before the demonstration

Centerpieces to be given out at the end
