Video: April Chabana workshop

7PM Session:


RSVP/Tickets 7PM

Robiraki tea ceremony (:Chajin’s New Year) usually takes place in November. Ro–a sunken hearth is opened for the first time since April, and tea is prepared using tea powder made from leaves freshly picked that summer. This is an excellent opportunity to gather friends together to celebrate the changing of the season in a tearoom.

Flower arrangement can be enjoyable with simplicity. In this class, we will discuss and demonstrate the Chabana arrangement while learning about local seasonal flowers and how to use them. We will arrange a bundle of flowers and create a simple arrangement of Chabana (茶花).

Globus Washitsu is designed as an experience of true Japanese culture with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony set up. At the beginning of class, you will join the authentic Japanese tea ceremony and dried sweets will be served with a bowl of matcha. Instructed by Professional Horticulturist & Floral artist EunYoung Sebazco

Chabana (茶花, literally "tea flowers") is the arrangement of seasonal flowers for a Japanese tea ceremony. Displayed in the tokonoma alcove along with other key thematic elements for the gathering, the chabana style appeals to those who prefer a simple, natural look in their creation. While ikebana and other styles of floral arrangement prescribe their own distinct frameworks, chabana recognizes and transfers the essence of field to vase.
