  • About Ohara Oregon Ikebana

    The Ohara School of Ikebana Portland Study Group was founded in 1994 and became the Oregon Chapter in 2019. We are a non profit organization dedicated to studying the traditional Japanese art of ikebana. We further mutual cultural understanding via classes, lessons, workshops, public demonstrations and exhibitions.
