We would like to welcome you, all Ikebana International Chapter 19 members, family, friends, and viewers from all over the world to the International Ikebana Chapter 19 Annual Virtual 2022 Exhibition! As you will see, the exhibition is overflowing with Spring Joy!! It makes us feel happy after a long cold winter.
We have 31 creations by the various schools’ enthusiastic arrangers. The motto of the association is “Friendship through Flowers” and encompasses many different schools. Certainly, we achieved the motto with Ikenobo, Ohara, Senke, Koryu, Hua Yuan, and Sogetsu arrangers. We appreciate all the arranger’s enthusiasms and actions to make this successful virtual exhibition 2022. Your Ikebana display in order we received.
Special thanks to Akemi Sagawa, our honorary member and webmaster for making the site.

Wonderful variety, wonderful show, thanks to all who made it so!!
These arrangements are simply spectacular. I am hoping you will allow the Puget Sound Sumi Artists to use some of the images for inspiration for paintings. These are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful creations.
Thank you for sharing your exhibition of Ikebana art-works that they all were well presented. In particular the ones by Shigeko Price, Katsuko Brook, Megumi Schacher & Steve Heck who’s piece held by only shallow base. Just wondering what was holding it so right up !
Enjoyed the Annual International Exhibition of Ikebana 2022.
