I.I. Portland Chapter 47

Ikebana

Welcome

Ikebana International Portland Chapter 47 meets regularly between September and June featuring programs about ikebana and related cultural arts, instilling an appreciation for the art of Japanese flower arranging. Chapter members from the greater Portland, Oregon area, in the spirit of "Friendship through Flowers" dedicate our efforts to the memory of Mrs. Mildred Schnitzer, who founded Chapter 47 in 1961.  Read more ABOUT us.

IkebanaInternational is a cultural organization with chapters in 50 countries world-wide. Membership is open to everyone interested in the art of flower arranging, regardless of one’s previous knowledge.  JOIN I.I.
