My mom, sister, and I had such a wonderful time in this Ikebana class! It’s not only fun and meditative to make the arrangements, but you also get a chance to learn a bit of the history and philosophy behind the art form which is so intriguing and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it and would love to go back for another class!

I treated myself to this Ikebana; Moribana style class as a little birthday gift to myself, and I honestly had the most magical time. Junko was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and full of warmth. Our time together was full of laughter, engaging conversation, and a sense of calm that made the experience even more special. I learned so much and left feeling both inspired and deeply grateful for this beautiful art form. I was truly in awe of the thoughtfulness behind each branch placement and the meaning woven into every shape. I can’t wait to return for another class and continue exploring this captivating practice.

While visiting New York, my fiancé and I decided to take Junko’s ikebana class to learn a new style for arranging flowers. Even though our class was only an hour long, the information and guidance we received from Junko will stay with us for a lifetime. The simplicity and intentional placement of each bloom is a technique that I seldomly apply when creating arrangements, so having her reassurance that sometimes less is more was just what I needed to see the beauty in ikebana flower arrangements. My fiancé was a trooper for attending the class with me, and I can only hope that he learned enough to make arrangements for special occasions instead of paying for them. All in all, the class was a great addition to our time spent in New York!

From the moment we walked in and smelled the fresh greens and visually drank in the lovely flowers we’d be working with in the working ikebana studio, my shoulders went down and my friend and I started smiling. We had the best time with Junko! She gave us great basics and then let us all loose to feel our inner artists, with a little nudge here and encouragement there to help us along.

My girlfriend and I took the beginner friendly ikebana class without knowing anything about flower arrangements. We left with a love for the art and knowledge about its japanese history. Junko is such a great person and teacher which made us feel like family. Would definitely recommend!

I had the best experience at Ikebana Flower! Junko is a great teacher and the sweetest person. You learn the history of various styles of Ikebana, spend time learning how to make your own arrangement (with Junko’s guidance), and bring something beautiful back to your home! I took Intro to Japanese Floral Design and then came back for Comprehensive Floral Foundations: Eastern and Western Flower Arrangement too.

Took the beginner class as a gift from my bff and had a great time. Ikebana master Junko was lovely as an instructor and I learned some history about floral arranging. We were able to take pics of our creations in class and then take them home. Would recommend to anyone interested and she also teaches at NYBG!

I had such an amazing time. I love what I was able to create. Now I only want Ikebana style flowers in the house.

Our group had a fab time with junko sensei and I have to thank her for leading such a lovely and informative class. She really sparked joy and shared her love for ikebana and Japanese culture with us. Would recommend having a private class with just your own group

I took ikebana class with my partner for an anniversary event and it was very nice. Also professor was inspiring and she was knowledgeable, making the art form approachable and meaningful. Her clear guidance and thoughtful feedback fostered creativity while deepening my appreciation for ikebana’s beauty and philosophy. An unforgettable experience! In addition, the professor was very sweet kind and funny and easy to approach. 🥰
