Discover the timeless beauty of ikebana in this hands-on workshop led by Daisuke Sato, CEO of Ishizakikenzan. Using a handcrafted kenzan (a weighted base with pins that holds flowers in place), you’ll learn the fundamentals of Japanese flower arrangement while creating your own inspired design.
This beginner-friendly session provides everything you need: a shallow vase, your own kenzan, fresh flowers, and tools. Guided by a master craftsman from Sanjo City, you’ll explore how tradition and innovation come together in this centuries-old art.
Join us at the Tsubamesanjo Artisan Fair to experience the artistry of ikebana and take home not just your arrangement, but a deeper connection to Japanese craftsmanship.
Seats are limited. Reserve your spot today and let your creativity bloom!
