Ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arrangement) is based on the philosophy of peace and harmony. The process brings one calm and healing, and nourishes the soul.

The arrangements enhance your home with beauty and serenity. Bring this gorgeous Ikebana arrangement home, and get a one-hour private lesson from acclaimed Master Sensei (teacher), Annika Au, to make another arrangement (material included).

Ms. Annika Au is an active Master Sensei from the Ohara School of Ikebana. She obtained her training in the US and Japan. She was the former 2 term President of Ohara Ikebana Chicago Chapter. In addition to teaching, she has given demonstrations at Morton Arboretum, Chicago Botanical Gardens and various conferences.

Valid for one private Ikebana lesson and flower arrangement.
