From what I heard today, Auralie, ALL Japanese ikebana masters are men. What I meant was I'm somewhat surprised that it has made no noticeable inroads among the tattooed NASCAR aficionados.

Jim, I'm not an Ikebana student myself though I have several friends who are.
I understand from them that the masters of the various schools in Japan are
men.
I guess I'm not sufficiently disciplined for that.

Anyway, I ended up sitting through three demonstration lectures on
Ikebana. At first, I thought I would likely pass out or nod off before
we got 2 minutes into the first one, but I was surprised to discover it
was actually very interesting. With its precision and rules and subdued
creativity, I'm sort of surprised that it's not a guy thing, actually.
