Our mission is to learn and communicate knowledge of the traditional and modern art forms of the Ikenobo Ikebana Society.

Our Chapter members learn the art of Ikenobo Ikebana from lectures and workshops conducted by Visiting Professors from Kyoto and through study with local Professors that have been certified by the Ikenobo Ikebana Society headquarters in Kyoto, Japan.

We communicate our art form through demonstrations and exhibitions at area cultural venues and community events.

Our Chapter currently has more than 30 members. Chapter Officers are: Ms. Sharon Chong, President; Ms. Nataliya Husar, Vice President; Mrs. Hyun Son Shin, Secretary; Ms. Qiong Chen, Treasurer.
