Ikebana International is the only organization where you can learn about many different ikebana schools.

Members get together at monthly meetings to see ikebana demonstrations, hear lectures on related topics or participate in ikebana workshops.

A member is welcome to visit other chapter programs while on their travels.

The membership is also transferable from one chapter to another at any time of the year upon presentation of a valid membership card.

A member may belong to additional chapters at reduced rates upon proof of membership of their primary chapter.

Members can obtain contact information of certified ikebana teachers that belong to the chapter, as well as information of teachers that teach virtually from another chapter.

Teachers can gain students and be listed in the North and Central American Region’s website. Alternatively, teachers encourage their students to become members.

A premier publication, issued three times a year, richly illustrated with color plates of ikebana arrangements, articles on ikebana or related arts, and in-depth Japanese cultural subjects.

Two quarterly newsletters from I.I. Headquarters that keep members informed of chapter activities around the world and at I.I. Headquarters.

Regional Conferences are held every 4 to 5 years in various regions throughout the world for the purpose of offering educational and cultural exchange opportunities to the members. The I.I. World Convention is held every five years in Japan.

By far one of the best benefits of your membership is having the opportunity to participate at all Chapter Shows and Exhibitions.
