Aspidistra isshuike and Shoka Sanshuike workshops

Mimi Santini-Ritt

Aspidistra is a classic isshuike which is important enough to be repeated at least yearly. Each leaf must be presented with the appropriate side positioned properly. This includes not only front and back sides, but the sunny and shade sides of both the front and backs

Shoka sanshuike is a more modern version of shoka that contains three types of flowers. Additionally there is more flexibility allowed in the grouping of the plant material
