I visited Japan in April and I studied in International class of Ikenobo headquarter Kyoto. Leaning Ikebana in Kyoto where Ikebana originated and has been in the center of Ikebana.I studied with ladies from India and Switzerland. They looked much eager to learn than me. If course I was eager to learn.
The lesson was taught by Eiko Miura Sensei. She is an excellent experienced teacher. It was like a dream where I could do Ikebana with people whose culture and background were different.. We share love and passion toward Ikebana. I am so confident that I can make my Ikebana skill use even outside of Japan.
I was happy to do Ikebana and now I have a few Ikenobo Ikebana friends. Ikebana is more than just arranging flowers and branches beautifully. When you try Ikebana, you will know what I am saying. Just give it try and experience and feel how.
We used Kenzan: you may call frog instead of foam. Successors are made of iron too. 
It must be hard in order to cut thick steam. We didn’t use kenzan with these arrangements so you can make as beaituful as them. Let’s get a flower and make your Ikebnan.
Enjoy airy and natural beauty! You will find even same kinds of lofwers and green, they made so different arrangement combined with a vase.
May Lesson 
- Yellow roses simple style
We used very beautiful yellow roses. The roses were perfectly beaitufil whose beauty didn’t need any othe flowers for me. I tried to express the beauty of yellow roses at the best so I only used two roses and greens and little accent of red and perple just as spice.
I am looking forward to doing Ikebana with you!
