Through flowers and plants, ikebana reflects the changes of nature and reminds us to slow down and notice the beauty of the present moment. Summer has its own special mood. In the heat, flowers become more delicate, while grasses and leaves continue to grow full and lively. Because of this, greenery plays an important role in summer ikebana. Seasonal flowers are chosen for their fresh and cooling feeling, while leaves and waterside plants bring to mind the quiet atmosphere of a summer breeze by the water. In the style of the Ohara School, water is also an important part of the arrangement. The surface of water adds a sense of openness and calmness, helping flowers, leaves, and water come together in balance and harmony. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/cb772a90-94fc-11f1-8024-43018c8ac4af-rimg-w416-h740-dcb8b8b8-gmir.jpg About Ohara SchoolThe Ohara School of Ikebana is one of the oldest and most influential ikebana schools in Japan. It was founded in 1895 by Unshin Ohara, who developed the original “moribana” style, which uses wide, shallow containers and combines classical Ikebana techniques with natural materials from around the world. A key focus of Ohara-ryū is capturing the natural growth of plants and reflecting the spirit of the landscape within the container.Learning Ohara Ikebana is more than just arranging flowers. It is a calm and mindful practice that helps you connect with nature and become aware of the subtle changes in the seasons and life around you. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/cbaeb550-94fc-11f1-8024-43018c8ac4af-rimg-w509-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg About the InstructorAmanda Fu is a certified professor of the Ohara School of Ikebana and currently serves as the Vice President of the Vancouver Ikebana Association.
