Three well-known Bay Area Sogetsu artists, Joan Yusui Suzuki, Jane Suiei Naito and Eko Tjoek collaborated to create a Renka Demonstration for the San Francisco International Ikebana event.
Renka has a shared element, such as sharing the same vase, using the same flower or using the same color. The central concept is that the Arranger is inspired by the previous Arranger. The video of the demonstration is a great opportunity to see the process.
Jennie Cho Li grew up in Taiwan. She says, "I was a creative writer, and worked in advertising and internet industries. Now, I am a painter and learner, enjoy all kind of creative activities. Ikebana helps me to expand my horizons to 3D forms and discover an intimate relationship with nature."
