FIRST VISIT OF ARATAME HEADMASTER
Mr. Seigyo Aratame
Headmaster, Aratame School

	Headmaster Seigyo Aratame made his first visit to the chapter to demonstrate Aratame ikebana. Born in Tokyo, he began ikebana studies with the late Teshigahara Wafu and by 1975 was teaching ikebana in Tokyo. Since 1980 he has presented several ikebana exhibitions in prominent venues including Tochigi Cultural Center, Sansoji Temple, and a joint show with ceramicist Akira Kikuchi at Ginza Matsuya Department Store in Tokyo. In 1993 he established the Aratame School of Ikebana and made his first appearance in San Francisco in March.
