Ikebana Demonstration by Masumi Jackson

In recent years, Ikebana, has gained much popularity in Western and other foreign countries. The fascination of the art lies in the beauty of the flowers and plants used as materials for the arrangement. Ikebana could be done by everyone at any time, in any place with every material--- roots, barks, branches, wild flowers, driftwood etc.--­which is found in plenty in nature.

In Japan there are over 200 schools of Ikebana. Ms. Masumi Jackson is the Executive Master of the “Ichiyo School of Ikebana”; she is also the President of Ichiyo School of Ikebana of Australia Chapter as well as member of “Ikebana International” since 1974.
