Sensei of Ikenobo

The workshop I attended last week had a most challenging feature which was collage (torn pieces of paper from magazines) to depict a figure. I chose to do a figure of an ikebana demonstration I attended a month ago. He was standing in front of large windows which made him have back-lit lighting.

He is known as a teacher of the Ikenobo school of ikebana. He is also an artist with his pottery which has been featured on the tv program called "Spark". I will probably use the image to advertise the Ikebana International Flower Show in Golden Gate Park next March.
