Our Mission
Five Senses Foundation (FSF) supports, preserves, and celebrates traditional Japanese arts with a larger mission of inspiring people, especially youth, to live harmoniously with nature.
Student Cultural Exchange
In 2023, Five Senses Foundation brought our first Japanese traditional arts students to Seattle – two young Japanese women students––artisans. During a weeklong stay, students were exposed to a variety of people and places in the Seattle and Portland area.
Ikebana Classes
The excitement of creating something beautiful from natural materials. Learn more at I Love Ikebana.
Cultural Events
Understanding and practicing these arts – today threatened with extinction – leads to a more sustainable and mindful lifestyle, while combating dehumanizing prejudices and enhancing cross-cultural understanding.
