(*Due to pre-reservations, only a few spots are available.)Mochibana (餅花)Mochibana means “rice cake flower.” It is a traditional New Year’s decoration made by attaching small, colorful pieces of mochi (sweet glutinous rice) to branches—often willow.This practice began in the snowy regions of Japan (Yukiguni), where real flowers were scarce in winter. 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.
