Roger's Pictures
15 Nov. 2015
The annual fall ikebana exhibit, known as the Tanabata Exhibit, continued at Ikenobo Headquarters Kyoto starting 13 Nov, changing out most arrangements every two days. These are a selection of those arrangements from 15 Nov. Arrangements fall into one of 3 basic styles: jiyuka or free style, rikka and shoka with both of the latter styles having two main variations -- traditional shofutai or modern shimputai. I've tried to label each accordingly...
