About Us and Upcoming Events

Ikebana International - Ann Arbor (Since 1974)

Ikebana (ē-kĕ-bah-nah)

  • We teach Ikebana, the creative and meditative art of Japanese flower arranging, similar to painting, calligraphy and sculpture.
  • Ikebana uses principles and creative theories to arrange “living flowers” or “making flowers come alive”. Ikebana evokes the whole of nature itself, and people’s relationship with nature. 


The Ikebana International Ann Arbor Chapter #183 , in our 47th year.

We meet the third Thursday of each month September - May in room 125 at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

  • At each of our meetings, an instructor will demonstrate how to make an ikebana arrangement and then participants make their own arrangements to take home.
  • Non-Ikebana International members are encouraged to attend our meetings to learn more about ikebana. Pre-registration is required and there is a $20.00 fee for flowers and instructor costs for each meeting. Members of Ikebana International pay a reduced fee of $15.00.
  • If you would like to receive our newsletter or more information about our organization please contact us via the button below or send an email to a2ikebana@gmail.com.  We look forward to welcoming you to our next meeting!

January 2023 Chapter Meeting

January Workshop – Ichiyo Ikebana

For our January chapter meeting, Ichiyo instructor, Liz Larwa, led a workshop in creating a New Year’s arrangement using the basic upright style and focusing on traditional Japanese materials. We used pine, chrysanthemum, red berries and other materials. We learned about Mizuhiki, a cord which is often used in Japan in New Years arrangements, cards, gifts etc. as a symbol of warmth, affection, and togetherness. We learned various ways we can use it in our arrangements.
