For Mrs. Powell, her family, a»d an organization that' call* itself The Kachinas, the publica tion marked the crystallization of what 18 mo®ths ago seemed littlo more than an idea. At that 'time Mrs. Powell was teaching llabana the Japanese word for flower arranging, to small groups of service wives a*»d also at the University of New Mexico Community College. At- the urging of the Kachinas, a literary group comprised of service wives, Mrs. „ Powell contacted Scribners in reference to her teachings. Scribners liked the idea, a n d Mrs. Powell went to work. Employing her own lesson plahs, plus the notes she took while an Ikehana student in she, along with a few of her Kachina friends, began piecing together what ultimately became the handsome slim volume published. Mrs. Powell’s book is an illuminating study of a subject “Greek” to most Americans but as much a part of Japanese torture as the geisha house and sulci yalri. For, as Mrs. Powell points out, history, religion, and philosophy have all had dramatic influences upon the evolution of Rom in North Carolina, Mr*. Powell studied hone economics at Maryville College in Tenn essee. Her marriage to a naval officer afforded her twenty years of exdtihg travel, and it wag during this decade that (She studied for two years in Japan and earned a professor’s certificate in the Ohara School. (Houn Ohara, the master of the Ohara school, wrote the fore word to Mrs. Powell’s book.) From tours, conversations with her many Japanese friends, and more study, Mrs. Powell then learned of the many oriental legends, customs and tradition* upon which rests the foundations of the Japanese floral art. She ultimately became a charter membtr of Ikebana international, Tokyo, and upon her return to :h- United States was Instru mental in starting the charter group of Ikebana, International, Albuquerque. Mrs. Powi 11 is a vibrant, re freshing woman whose approach to .living is on* of zest and enthusiasm. She frankly admit* that the publishing of the book Is one of the thrills of her life, but is quick to acknowledge that without the efforts of her many friends, the Kachinas and her family, the book would never have been written. The Powells live at 3601 Da kota, l.*L, Albuquerque, a n d have two teenage children.
