​Ikebana Installations...

This installation took under two hours to create if you exclude the preparation of the willow branches and painting of the pots. It was greeted with admiration by those who attended the event. It is nice to know that you can have such an enthusiastic support group.

"Teaching is the highest level of understanding."  
​
The consolidation of knowledge can come through true mentorship;  a symbiotic relationship if you will. After offering a short course to a small group of students, I realised again that learning should be continual and necessary to hone your skills.   Moribana is an introductory and basic style that was developed to accommodate the foreign introductions to Japan after the arrival of the 'Black ships'. Until then, the Seika style was more common, as it utilised the native flora.
