Wreath of the Day: Our Version of Minimalism

We are known for a fully embellished look, which is pretty extravagant, on the whole.  We receive few complaints about “underdecoration.”  Sometimes a client wishes for a quieter celebration of the season, and in those cases we deliver wreaths such as the one pictured, with subtle coloration and no too many additions, so the beauty of the underlying wreath shows through.

Monday, January 11, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm – Ishimure Michiko, The Arts, and Social Responsibility

On Monday, January 11 from 7 – 8:30 at the Kaji Aso Studio Institute for the Arts, Bruce Allen will tell stories of trial and hope based on Japanese environmental incidents, including those in Fukushima and Minamata. His talk will incorporate segments from a recent documentary film about Ishimure Michiko, pictured, Japan’s foremost environmental writer-activist, who is known as the “Rachel Carson of Japan.” The film shows efforts of Japanese to come to terms with environmental and energy challenges, and to nurture reconciliation and hope for the future. The Studio is located at 40 St. Stephen Street in Boston. Suggested donation $10.
