Sogetsu Lesson Variation No.5 Upright Style Moribana
taught by Sogetsu Instructor Leslie Rosinski
In this lesson we will create an arrangement in a low sided, flat bottom container, or moribana. The main stems of this style are placed in separate kenzans within the container, and are characterized by the water shown between the two groupings. We will aim to find harmony and balance as we address both groupings equally.
Materials Needed:
2 to 3 branch material, such as: eucalyptus, boxwood, ruscus, pittosporum, bells of ireland, etc.
3 medium sized flowers of your choice
small filler flowers or berries, if desired
Supplies Needed:
Moribana container (flat bottom, low sides) can be round, oval, or square - at least 8 inches in diameter
2 Kenzans at least 2.5" in diameter each
Hasami (floral shears)
Cutting bowl
Plastic or newspaper to cover work area, and cloth for clean up
Pitcher or bucket
Camera
Afternoon Program
Beginning at 12:30 p.m.
Surprise Environmental Arrangement
taught by Sogetsu Instructor Leslie Rosinski
This workshop idea stems from the 13 World Convention in Kyoto in April of 2025. We had round table discussions with Ikebana International members from all over the world. During one of these sessions I came up with this idea, talked about it with my group, and I wanted to teach it at our chapter. The key word to remember is environment.
Supplies Needed:
Small container, any shape (but big enough to hold a kenzan)
Kenzan to fit into container
Hasami
Cutting bowl
Plastic to cover work area
NOTE: We will collect a fee of $5.00 per person per month to help offset costs for our venue.
