Even the walls added to the Dynamic Tension of Color
in this rainbow-hued exhibit! This year's exhibit was
held in the Museum of Art School, where a group led by Earl
Shimabukuro erected a kinetic bamboo taisaku, or
large group arrangement, on the side lawn. Inside the
entryway, President Gail Atwater's arrangement provided a
brilliant cascade of colors leading to the door,
which was flanked by another of Earl's creations.
Inside the hall contained ten Sogetsu arrangements, eight
Ikenobo, six Ohara, one Toin Misho, and eight arrangements
by students between 8 and 19 years old.
