Asian Arts in the Garden February 27, 2010

Soryo Ayako Stott will perform a tea ceremony at 11:30 AM. The La Jolla Chapter of the Ohara School of Ikebana will have floral arrangements created by members of this school, led by Sensi Yaeko Ohta who has been the backbone of this organization for 30 years. The Ikebana art form can be traced back to the mid-sixth century when Buddhism was introduced to Japan. Monks would create arrangements to be placed in temples. The Ohara School was one of the earliest of the 60+ schools of Ikebana, now spread throughout the world.
