Rhuho Sasaoka
We will have a brief performance of Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) on stage at the conference venue. Rhuho Sasaoka, the Ikebana artist, is the next grand master of the Misho-ryu Sasaoka School of Ikebana based in Kyoto. Sasaoka in his mid-30s believes the study of Ikebana can develop a deeper understanding of Japanese formal gardens, Japanese architecture and other types of traditional art. He will take Ikebana into the world of the performing arts during the conference.
