ABOUT IKEBANA The art of Japanese flower arranging, also known as ikebana, is a traditional form of floral decoration that originated in Japan. The purpose of ikebana is to create harmony between the flowers, the container, and the space where the arrangement is displayed. Ikebana arrangements are typically composed of a few stems of seasonal flowers, branches, and leaves, arranged in an asymmetrical and natural-looking way. The arrangement is often designed to reflect the changing seasons, and the choice of flowers and containers is carefully considered to create a sense of balance and harmony. In addition to its aesthetic purpose, ikebana is considered a spiritual practice. The focus on creating harmony and balance is believed to help practitioners find inner peace and connect with nature. Overall, Japanese flower arranging aims to create beautiful and harmonious floral arrangements that reflect the natural world and inspire a sense of inner peace. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/salem/ikebana-demonstration-with-linda-nishioka/200030561592010 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, spiritual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 22 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Salem - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: 600 Mission St SE, Salem, OR, United States, Oregon 97302 - **lat**: 44.93077 - **long**: -123.03939 - **full address**: 600 Mission St SE, Salem, OR, United States, Oregon 97302 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IKEBANA DEMONSTRATION WITH LINDA NISHIOKA - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/0bc3adb9f1ac725fd544e9f00dcc1e8be7c6c86bac9a8d3a102afb9fe1baa3a9-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080808-gmir?v=1787387238 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IKEBANA DEMONSTRATION WITH LINDA NISHIOKA being held? - **A:** IKEBANA DEMONSTRATION WITH LINDA NISHIOKA takes place on Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 02:30 pm at 600 Mission St SE, Salem, OR, United States, Oregon 97302. - **Q**: Who is organizing IKEBANA DEMONSTRATION WITH LINDA NISHIOKA? - **A:** IKEBANA DEMONSTRATION WITH LINDA NISHIOKA is organized by Salem Art Association. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
