JASH and the Ikenobo Society of Texas, with support from Ikebana International Houston Chapter #12, are pleased to announce the return of in-person ikebana lessons beginning this fall.

Ikebana, or Kado, is the Japanese art of flower arranging. It is considered one of the three classical arts of refinement.

Lessons will be conducted by Nanako Tingleaf, a professor in the art of Ikenobo Ikebana — the oldest school of the traditional Japanese discipline of flower arranging.

Instruction includes all floral material necessary to create arrangements in the style of the Ikenobo School of Ikebana

Students are asked to bring the following items with them to class:

  • garden scissors

  • a small hand towel

  • a bucket or wrap for floral materials

Classes will be held every second Thursday of the month* at the JASH office.

Class size is limited to 10 individuals. Register for classes by clicking the button below:
