Ikebana International (I.I.) Philadelphia Chapter held its monthly meeting earlier this month (11/10/2016) because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Our program was Ryusei-ha Ikebana, demonstration by Masako Gibeault Sensei. She was born in Japan where she studied Ryusei-ha Ikebana. Now she has lived in New York and is a board member of the NYC chapter of I.I. Her demonstrations and arrangements have been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and in the Ryusei-ha 130th anniversary flower exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.
Ryusei-ha ( 龍生派）Ikebana is new for me. To gain more knowledge and understanding, I searched google at: http://www.ryuseiha.net/english or www.ikebanahq.org/ryusei.php

Using Washi paper as part of arrangement to cover all different
kinds of containers, so it looks whole. |

Masako Sensei inserted pebble into each orange
Chinese lantern plant so they would sink to the
bottom of the glass container. Maple leaves
float on top. |
