Back in February, I had the opportunity to take a workshop, led by the Akane Teshigahara, Sogetsu headmaster. The title of the workshop was “thillingly playing with my flowers”. Photos of Akane Teshigahara’s arrangements.

There was a tornado warning early this morning in San Francisco. Safe and sound here. Meanwhile, was able to gather a few fallen palm fronds for future ikebana arrangements, before the heavy rains started up again.
