Can I purchase Ikebana tools and supplies from you?
Yes! I offer carefully selected Ikebana tools such as kenzan (needlepoint holders, pin frog), vases, and scissors for purchase. These are available during classes or by request if you'd like to build your own home practice kit. But for most workshops, all materials are included.
What is Ikebana and how is it different from Western flower arranging?
Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, emphasizing simplicity, balance, and harmony with nature. Unlike Western styles that often focus on volume and color, Ikebana highlights line, space, and seasonal beauty with a minimalist and thoughtful approach.

Your teacher
I’m Nakaba Emtesali, a certified Second Associate Master of the Ohara School of Ikebana based in San Diego, California. My journey with Ikebana began when I was in middle school in Kobe, Japan, the birthplace of the Ohara School of Ikebana. After moving to the United States, my passion led me to pursue extensive training to deepen my understanding of this beautiful Japanese art form. Today, I teach Ikebana and floral design throughout the San Diego area, welcoming both beginners and experienced students to my classes and workshops.In my workshops, I love sharing the beauty and philosophy of Ikebana through hands-on floral arranging in a relaxed, welcoming, and creative environment. I invite you to slow down, connect with nature, and discover the joy of working with seasonal flowers, branches, and foliage.Through Ikebana, I hope to share the Japanese appreciation of harmony between flowers, branches, space, and nature—and help each student create something uniquely their own. I look forward to welcoming you to an Ikebana workshop!
