The two artists, who have known each other for some time, have been influenced by each other's works, and the exhibition will feature ikebana and paintings that are the result of their dialogues, which were created as if improvised.
On Saturday, January 27, we will welcome Mr. Watarai for an ikebana class. Participants will choose ikebana materials and vessels, then arrange and correct their ikebana work. Vases can be selected from amabro's original "KOTSUBO" vases.
The world of contemporary ikebana flowers is something that beginners and inexperienced ikebana practitioners alike should experience. A reception will be held on the same day, so please take this opportunity to join us.
