About the Ikebana Display
The San Marino League is a nonprofit organization of women committed to philanthropic work in the community as well as furthering their own knowledge of fine arts. In spring 1958, the League’s founding president, Mary B. Hunt, became qualified to teach at the Ikenobo School of Ikebana and began teaching classes to League members. These classes continue today. The League’s dedicated ikebana enthusiasts continue to provide fresh flower arrangements in the original Japanese House every week, year-round.
