The Floral Art of Tea Ceremony : Summer ChaBana

55 West 19th Street,New York NY 10011

01 August, 2022

Description

ChaBana (:Floral arrangement for Japanese Tea Ceremony) are always placed at the alcove during the Japanese tea ceremony to welcome the guest. ChaBana's primary focus is an expression of nature instead of framing of arrangement unlike Ikebana or modern flower arrangement. We will assist you to discover their unrefined beauty. This workshop will use a woven basket which is the traditional summer ChaBana vessel and will arrange colorful local seasonal flowers. With lingering hot summer air in the evening, sit back and relax with tea and Chabana. This workshop offers you a chance to recharge this summer. ..........................................................................................................
