The North American Ohara Teachers Association (NAOTA) was founded in January 2002 in order to promote the Ohara School of Ikebana.
We share ideas, techniques, and related information on Ikebana and Japanese art. We host a conference annually that is given by either Ohara professors visiting from Japan or the Grand Masters of NAOTA.
