These delicate mochi blossoms were created to evoke the feeling of early spring, symbolizing renewal, hope, and a good harvest in the coming year.Masu (升) Flower ArrangementA masu is a traditional square wooden box originally used for measuring rice or sake. Today, it’s often used in celebrations and special occasions—and also as a container for floral arrangements.The word masu also shares a meaning with “increase/grow” (増す), making it a symbol of prosperity, abundance, and growing happiness for the New Year.In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:Shape and color the small mochi “flowers”Attach them beautifully to branches to create your own mochibanaArrange the branches—and other auspicious New Year elements such as pine, bamboo, or nandina berries—inside a wooden masu box https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/0dd9a0d0-da3a-11f0-88ab-410a95599789-rimg-w760-h740-dcdcd8d4-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0e093c50-da3a-11f0-b9df-471095fe562f-rimg-w774-h740-dceaeef6-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/0e413c40-da3a-11f0-88ab-410a95599789-rimg-w790-h740-dc090807-gmir.jpg About the artist*EunYoung Sebazco earned a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Tokyo Agriculture University, Japan.
