Recent reviews of Japanese Flower Arrangement Ohara-Style Ikebana Class

• 5/5 from Emily Gruber, attended Jun 2026: Chiaki, our instructor, was very sweet and made sure everything was prepared in time before the event. We hosted it in our office as a corporate team event, and was very communicative with what materials she needed to ship to the building beforehand and drop off the morning of, which I helped coordinate. I liked the short history lesson before the start of class, as well as learning the basics of Ohara Ikebana style. The instructor brought in beautiful dahlias to work with as well as branches and chrysanthemums, which made for a pretty design. For this corporate workshop which I hosted in my office building, we were able to take home the shallow vases + frogs (from my research this may not be the case if it were hosted in their own workshop, so just be aware of this!) I'm so glad I got to take my ikebana home!
• 5/5 from Parisa Syed, attended Mar 2026: This class was AMAZING! Such a lovely lesson, activity, and creative outlet that really helped you to be in the present moment. The history was wonderful to learn about, and the hands on activity was so worth it. All of the instructors were incredible and accomodating. Each one went around and answered any and all questions we had. 15/10 experience. will try and finish all class to get a certificate!
• 5/5 from Maggie Lei, attended Sep 2025: Ms. Takahashi was a great teacher. She taught us a lot while also being concise. It was a little challenging but she and the other teacher were helpful and provided help. Our teacher was very thoughtful and made sure to spend time with every student's creation at the end even when it was getting later than 8pm. She really cares for the art and you can tell she loves to teach about it too!

• 5/5 from Heidi Liou, attended Feb 2025: I took an ikebana flower arrangement class with Asae, and it was a great experience. She started with a powerpoint presentation that covered the history and principles of ikebana, providing helpful context before we began working on our arrangements. Her explanations were thorough and detailed, making it easy to follow along even for beginners. For the hands-on portion, we created a "rising form" floral arrangement, with step-by-step guidance from Asae. She gave individual feedback and answered any questions we had, ensuring that everyone understood the techniques. At the end of the class, we were able to take our flower arrangements home, though the tools and materials were not included (they can be purchased on Amazon). Overall, this class was a great introduction to ikebana, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Japanese floral design.
• 5/5 from Millie Marrero, attended May 2024: Our team came together at the lovely space at Resobox and we absolutely loved the Ohara-style Ikebana floral arrangements session. This class was a perfect way to end a busy workday. Our instructor, Asae Takahashi, and her assistant, Joseph, worked very well together and ensured that each attendee received true understanding and guidance when putting together the beautiful arrangements. We cannot wait to tell our peers and show off our incredible skills, allowing us to transform any arrangement to have true purpose and meaning with strong foundations. Thank you so much for accommodating our group. We cannot wait to return!

The venue was beautiful and serene, enhancing the Ikebana experience. High-quality materials were provided for stunning arrangements. The class fee offered excellent value for the enriching experience. I learned Ikebana basics, history, and hands-on techniques.
