We ventured out of our comfort zone, Ichiyo, into more traditional arrangements, but with 21st century élan. After all, Ikebana is about the designer, the setting, and the time, Christmas 2016.
These three arrangements illustrate what this “fuzion” is all about. Using features from various schools undeniably nuances the art form.

This gallery included Christmas arrangements over the past five or six years. It was a chance to look back fondly at the beginnings of this concept of "fuzion"that began so unobstrusively in my designs. After this excursion into Christmas ideas, we will turn our attention to the New Year and all that it holds.
Until next time,
