Roger's Pictures
1-3 & 8-10 August
Over two weekends Ikebana International Chapter
56, Honolulu, held its Splendors of Ikebana exhibit in the
Hawaii State Library, gracing the lobby, reading room,
hallways and desks throughout the library with a variety of
arrangements large and small. Many arrangers took the
theme Summer Matsuri (festival) rather literally,
incorporating items typically worn or used at Japanese
festivals into their arrangements. A Make and Take event
on the first Saturday kept the reading room quite lively as
150 people got to try their hand at making a small arrangement
version of a cooling Hawaiian shave ice.
