Sumi-E: Japanese Ink Painting - Cherry Blossom (Sakura)
2026-05-20 19:30 - 20:30 UTC | RESOBOX, 91 E 3rd Street, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Sumi-e, also called Suibokuga, is the art of ink wash-painting. Characteristically, it is an East Asian art, and has been practiced there for well over a thousand years. Sumi-e depicts the spirit or essence of an object or scene rather than its outward appearance — and does so in the fewest possible strokes. Because of this simplicity, the painter’s character and personality come through in his/her work. In both viewing and creating, Sumi-e is a very contemplative form of painting.
In this class at RESOBOX, a Japanese cultural center in New York, all students will start from the basics of ink-wash painting, such as how to hold a brush. All materials such as ink, brushes, calligraphy paper, etc. will be provided for the students.

Chanoyu: Japanese Tea Ceremony at the Table
2026-05-26 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | RESOBOX, 91 E 3rd Street, New York, NY, 10003, United States
During a tea ceremony, powdered green tea, or matcha, is prepared using traditional tea utensils. The series of movements and associated ritual, based in Zen Buddhism, help to calm the mind and improve concentration. During the ceremony, silence is maintained, allowing subtle sounds and nuances of light that are normally overlooked to take center stage. A bowl of matcha prepared and sipped in this setting will have a deeper, richer taste than usual, permeating the entire body.

Virtual Ikebana class - Misho Style
2026-06-07 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York), 2026-07-05 12:00 - 13:00 UTC, 2026-08-02 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | NY
Classes will be held via the Zoom Video Conferencing application, a private Zoom link will be sent to participants before the class begins. The classes will be held in Eastern Time.

A few things you will need before the class:
1. You will need to find your own flowers. We are sorry that we are unable to deliver flowers to your home (try calling around; some local shops will deliver). But any flowers are OK! Just make sure to get 2-3 varieties, and choose what you like. We don’t need a lot.
2. You will need clippers or scissors that you don’t mind using to cut flower stems.
3. A vase. If you don’t have a vase, you can use a glass, a coffee cup, a cereal bowl, or your choice of container, as long as it has a little depth. You might even surprise yourself with how nice a non-traditional vase can look with a cute arrangement of flowers.
*If you have your own Kenzan, Flower Pin, or Pin Frog, you can use it. And if you want to buy one, you can order on Amazon online.
In this class, we will check each student’s tools and flowers, then help you with tips on how to build up and create your own Ikebana arrangement.

Nerikiri Wagashi: Japanese Sculpted Confectionery - Rose, Hydrangea, and Temari
2026-06-07 14:00 - 16:00 UTC | RESOBOX, 91 E 3rd Street, New York, NY, 10003, United States
The instructor: Yuki Sakura
In this session, we will create three types of Nerikiri: a rose, a hydrangea, and a temari (Japanese hand ball) inspired by the gentle early-summer breeze. As we imagine the flowers that bloom in June and petals softly dancing in the wind, I hope we can enjoy the subtle shift into early summer together.
This workshop offers more than the joy of tasting Wagashi — it gives you the experience of creating edible art with your own hands. Simple hand movements such as pressing, pinching, and layering transform into moments of artistic expression. Through this hands-on experience, you will discover the unique beauty of Japanese food culture.
At the end of the class, you’ll take home the Nerikiris you lovingly crafted yourself. I hope you’ll share them with your family and friends, revisiting the stories and moments from the workshop as you admire and enjoy the sweets you created with your own hands.

Morning glories that bloom coolly in the early light, hibiscus glowing vividly under the summer sun, and hozuki that evoke the quiet charm of evening. Enjoy shaping these glimpses of midsummer scenery gently in the palm of your hand.
