The New Year season awakens our senses in many ways. Let’s kick up the season with winter cultural experiences. This class will guide us to create Chabana ( 茶花: Japanese Tea Ceremony floral arrangement ) celebrating New Years with willow branches and a small winter blossom highlights the season with a beauty of simplicity. This class also makes Japanese one of traditional New Year decoration Mochibana (餅花, もちばな: rice cake flower), using white and pink colored mochi wrapped around willow branches to simulate blossoms. The seasonal sweets will be served with a bowl of matcha.
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.
