Flower Arranging with Kenzan at Ossipoff Cabin
Island-Boy and Pua Hana are a creative collaboration that brings color, creativity, and joy to Pālehua when they host onsite workshops. This one-time event (for 2024) brings a modern take on the Japanese floral arranging practice of ikebana to Ossipoff Cabin, where the architecture is also inspired by Japanese aesthetics.
All materials will be provided including kenzan (flower frogs) and foraged flora from Pālehua. We will supply ample vases for each student (assorted styles), but if you would like to explore a vase you already own, we invite each student to bring a shallow, opaque water-tight vessel (bowl or vase with a 4-10" opening).
The 4-hour workshop includes an hour of guided travel up and down the mountain, and three hours of instruction. Guests can look forward to refreshments and time to explore Vladimir Ossipoffʻs personal retreat.

Island-Boy and Pua Hana are both located in Kaimukī on Waiʻalae Avenue. Island-Boy is a one-man retail experiment curating a diverse spectrum of items and art through a fun, tropical lens. Pua Hana offers fresh and unusual botanicals in arrangements and lei that lean towards the contemporary, with a taste of retro.
Ossipoff Cabin was built in the mid 1950s by Vladimir Ossipoff and restored in 2020 by the Gill ʻohana. The cabinʻs Japanese-inspired style, careful use of local materials, and breathtaking view make for an inspiring setting for workshops.
Proceeds from tours benefit Pālehua Conservation Initiative, a new non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to advance education and stewardship efforts that protect, promote, and restore the natural, cultural and community resources of the southern Wai‘anae mountains.
