Ms. Omiya Ellie is an artist and writer, known for her many talents. She and Iemoto have been friends since 2017 when Iemoto arranged flowers as part of her solo exhibition which was in collaboration with Ms. Omiya’s paintings.Before this current interview she enjoyed Iemoto’s ikebana lesson for the first time. What impression did she have after the ikebana lesson? They talked about their approach to dealing with plants as materials and how to create their own world in their works.

Ohi ceramic in Kanazawa has a history of over 350 years. The previous head of the family Toshiro Ohi was a classmate of the third Iemoto Hiroshi at Tokyo Fine Arts School. Their comradeship in class continued a long-standing relationship between the Ohi Family and Sogetsu. Enjoy the vessels Iemoto Akane herself shaped by hand at the kiln and her ikebana works arranged in the vessels made by the three-generation master potters of Ohi ware.

This time we focus on gloriosa. This eye-catching flower, mainly known as a cut flower, also has little-known various characteristics such as its roots and seeds and how to grow them. This article which is full of fun trivia about the gloriosa is sure to attract a lot of interest.

One kind of material in three distinctive variations. The leather flower can be arranged both in Japanese and Western styles. Trailing it down or using it in Kakebana (hung on the the wall) or Tsuribana (hung from above) enhances the beauty of the leather flower. You can also arrange just the leather flower leaving a few leaves on the stem. The leather flower, available almost all year round except midwinter, can be enjoyed in many different ways. Here Master Instructor Hinata Yoichi demonstrates three variations of arrangements using leather flowers.
