Upcoming Club Programs
Tuesday, March 5, 2019 - Program at the residence of Consul General and Mrs. Fukushima
In March, Japan celebrates Ohina Matsuri. This festival is tied to Girls' Day and is also known as the Doll Festival. This month, we will learn about Ohina Matsuri traditions as special guests of the Consul General and Mrs. Fukushima at their private residence. We will also be treated to Japanese dance by Midori Mochizuki. The address will be provided on the evite and is for members only.
Wednesday, April 3, 2019
For this month's program the chapter will try their hands at craft making! Using beautiful Japanese paper and bamboo, we will construct a paper scroll with a bamboo vase attached to it. This will be a perfect scroll for you to display a simple ikebana arrangement. Come and enjoy the fun.
Kozan Ryu Demonstration by Eva Mikulencak
In February, the club enjoyed watching Eva demonstrate 5 arrangements. It was a great opportunity for us to learn about the ikebana school she studied while in Japan. Kozan Ryu emphasizes a natural look in arrangements.
