The Floral Art of Tea Ceremony: Celebration of Spring flower (2 sessions 4pm or 7pm)

Chabana (茶花, literally "tea flowers") is the arrangement of seasonal flowers for a Japanese tea ceremony. Displayed in the tokonoma alcove along with other key thematic elements for the gathering, the chabana style appeals to those who prefer a simple, natural look in their creation. While ikebana and other styles of floral arrangement prescribe their own distinct frameworks, chabana recognizes and transfers the essence of field to vase.

*The refund policy: Due to a limited number of spots in the workshop and the preparation involved, there are no refunds within 1 days of the event.

*If you have any questions, you can send us an email to hello@kinka.nyc and we'll get back to you.

Each bottle is chosen to highlight the diverse range of flavors that sake can offer. While we encourage all participants to approach the tasting with an open mind and palate, we aim to ensure there's a little something for everyone. 乾杯!

*Artsit Kay Kojima
She is a Japanese-American ceramicist, born and raised in NYC. She spent much of her career working for Interior Design magazine but always pursued creative projects on the side. In 2009, she took her first ceramics class, which sparked a passion that led her to become a full-time ceramic artist. Inspired by nature, her functional and sculptural works often feature organic forms, emphasizing the natural qualities of the materials she works with.

*Artist Kenneth Lyndon-Williams
With just under two years of experience in the Japanese sake and liquor industry at Kuraichi, a specialty liquor store that offers hundreds of varieties of sake and Japanese spirits, Ken has developed both a deep knowledge and a passionate appreciation for Japanese alcohol, particularly focusing on sake.
