http://sanmarinoleague.org/Site/Tokonoma.html The Japanese house at The Huntington contains two tokonoma. The ikebana students take turns creating arrangements -- usually one nageire and one shoka or moribana -- for the Japanese house. A tokonoma is a small raised alcove in a Japanese-style room with a tatami floor, where decorative scrolls are hung. Ikebana (arranged flowers) and/or bonsai are also often displayed there. The tokonoma and its contents are essential elements of traditional Japanese interior decoration. When seating guests in a Japanese-style room, the correct etiquette is to seat the most important guest with his or her back facing the tokonoma. This is because of modesty; the host should not be seen to show off the contents of the tokonoma to the guest, and thus it is necessary not to point the guest towards the tokonoma. http://sanmarinoleague.org/Site/Tokonoma.html#0 d095c8f7-6e59-41ef-9790-959ee79e9bab http://sanmarinoleague.org/Site/Tokonoma_files/Media/CashelRkaShmptTOKA%206%202%2008/thumb.jpg http://sanmarinoleague.org/Site/Tokonoma_files/Media/CashelRkaShmptTOKA%206%202%2008/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
