Tucson Events

This year, our annual Spring Ikebana Festival will celebrate a very special event: Yume Japanese Gardens' 10th Anniversary.!!!

Traditional to contemporary flower arrangements will be presented by local artists of the five major ikebana schools - Sogetsu, Ikenobo, Ohara, Sangestu, and Shinsei - and displayed in original vases throughout the Gardens ground, showing the interesting variation in techniques and styles of these schools.

Ikebana, also known as “the Way of the Flowers", is the meditative art of Japanese floral arrangements, and its ideals embody the essence of taste, beauty, and oneness with nature. Ikebana uniquely emphasizes shape, line, and form by giving equal weight to the branches, stems, and leaves of a plant rather than merely arranging its blooms. Classical Ikebana dates to the 15th century and successor schools have emerged since. In all of them, deep-rooted design rules and a Zen-like discipline subtly harmonize nature and the hand of the arranger.

Come celebrate with us the arrival of spring and 10 years of Ikebana Festivals at Yume Japanese Gardens!
