April 16, 2024 - Ikebana Sogetsu Demonstration with Judith Setsuko Hata

Where there are flowers, there are friends” - Judith Setsuko Hata

Hello Spring!! We greeted April by partnering with the nonprofit organization Ikebana International New York (IINY) to present a stunning Sogetsu Ikebana demonstration by Judith Setsuko Hata. Tuesday, April 16th, was a joyful celebration of both Hata Sensei’s 99th year and over 60 years of her active involvement with IINY. Ms. Hata received a standing ovation for her dedication and commitment to fostering appreciation of the many distinctive Ikebana styles, philosophies and techniques. This is JHC’s second collaboration with Ikebana New York. The future Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III Exhibit and Performance Center was the ideal space for this unparalleled exhibit of Japanese floral art - it  drew guests from all over the world including Japan!
