Kaz Yokou Kitajima: Sogetsu Ikebana Demonstration

Bellosguardo is thrilled to host a Sogetsu Ikebana demonstration by Kaz Yokou Kitajima.

Huguette Clark, the last owner of Bellosguardo, was extremely fond of all things Japanese. This can be seen in both her paintings and her collection of “hina” dolls and elaborate custom-made models of Japanese homes and castles.

Along with an open house, complimentary sushi bar hors d'oeuvres, wine, sake, and beer will be served.

Kaz Yokou Kitajima is celebrating more than 50 years as a Sogetsu Ikebana master, landscape designer, and artist. His themes include disassembly and rearranging; compositions using unconventional materials; arrangements contrasting straight and curved lines.
