Detroit Chapter #85, USA
Hinamatsuri celebration and two Sogetsu Workshop
On March 3, 2024, our chapter celebrated Hinamatsuri at the beautiful Detroit Institute of Arts. We were asked to display Ikebana arrangements and teach a workshop to 35 guests. The event was a big success and enjoyed by our members and all who attended the celebration.
Sensei Leslie Rosinski taught two Sogetsu workshops to our members in March. The first lesson was about a basic upright style, created by separating the three main stems, along with their subordinates, into two kenzans. The balance between the two groups, called “kabu”, created depth and diversity.
In the second lesson we created arrangements using green leaves only. Leaves can show different characteristics by rolling up, tearing or overlapping them.
