Location: MHS Elm Bank, Dearborn Room in Education Building, 900 Washington St. (Rt. 16) Wellesley, MA 02482
Date: September 18, 2026 - September 20, 2026
Ikebana International Boston chapter members from the Ikenobo, Ohara, and Sogetsu schools made 13 arrangements. These arrangements truly highlighted the wide range of artistic forms that each school offers. Every arrangement utilized beautiful elements, colors, lines and containers in their designs. We were honored to share the beauty and charm of ikebana with the audience at this long running floral tradition.
During the show, 13 Boston chapter members served as docents, talking about ikebana, answering questions, and providing guests with information about our organizational activities. A centerpiece ikebana arrangement created by Kaye Vosburgh of the Sogetsu school was the hanaguruma or “flower carriage”. The flower carriage represents a traditional decorative Japanese motif filled with an artistic arrangement of flowers.
