Ohara School of Ikebana Boston
Welcome to the Boston Study Group, where the captivating art of Ikebana finds its vibrant home. Nurtured under the guidance of our esteemed board of directors, our organization proudly bears the official mantle of an Ohara School of Ikebana Study Group. We are dedicated to both the practice and propagation of this mesmerizing style.
With roots that delve deep into Japan’s time-honored traditions, we stand as passionate custodians of the legacy of Ohara Ikebana. We carry its essence like a fragrant breeze that sweeps across the vast canvas of Boston and New England.
For those whose hearts resonate with the elegance of Japanese cultural arts, and for those whose fingers long to weave verses with petals, our group beckons with open arms. Join us on a journey that navigates the lushness of gardening and nature, the eloquent narratives of floral artistry, and the ever-evolving saga of the Ohara style.
The art is hereāan undiscovered masterpiece waiting to be brought to life. So step in, let petals become your muse, and allow your transformative journey to unfurl amidst the tender embrace of our floral tapestry.
