Ikebana Flower Show

Join us for a celebration of Japanese arts and culture with our partners, the Japan Society of Fairfield County. The weekend will kick off with a dedication of a glorious 22 Higan cherry tree allée at the Jay Estate Gardens with Ambassador Mikio Mori, Consulate General of Japan, and elected officials of New York State. Highlights include an ikebana flower exhibit at the Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III Center, performances of sakura opera, Koto and Shakuhachi instrumental music, a Japanese Shishimai "lion dance" and a compelling exhibit of art by renowned artist, poet and calligrapher Koho Yamamoto, whose internment pieces have been shown at the Smithsonian and Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Gardens.
