Splendors of Ikebana

8-9 March 2024

Ikebana International Chapter 56, Honolulu, held it's latest exhibit at the Japanese Culture Center of Hawaii.  Participants ranging in age from 15 to 102 represented five different schools of ikebana.  Arrangements featured small and miniature pieces that often reflected their school of origin as well as their creators' individuality.  The exhibit was a great success with more than 600 people attending.
