Alden is president and senior professor of the New York Tachibana Chapter of the Ikenobo Society. Her visit is sponsored by the Ikenobo Ikebana Society of Roanoke.
"Ikebana" literally means "to make flowers live again." It seeks to instill an appreciation for the beauties and rhythms of nature. The art has its roots in feudal Japan.
