The title rock and roll, martial arts and ikebana, do they have a common factor?You might think they have nothing to do with each other.
In September Ikebana International Tokyo Founding Chapter had their first event and the headmaster was following his mother so it was the second generation of the school.
He showed us how his first memories of being taught ikebana he would split an aspidistra leaf.
The second arrangement using a Chinese cabbage was very pretty, however I am not sure I would like to have it hanging around my house for too long.

Several arrangements followed with at the end some of the students performing and the main singer whose ikebana name includes the word "rock", to reflect his role as a rock and roll artist.The present headmaster working with background music from a rock band.
I was really surprised that such music could fit the mood of ikebana, but incredibly it did and it was an enjoyable experience everyone walked off with a lighter step, still mentally dancing to the music.Iemoto of the Kasui School, in collaboration with Mr. Mickey Curtis and his band for Tokyo Founding Chapter in September 2009.
