Members of the Sumie Society of Hawaii wrapped up their 14th annual exhibition at Honolulu Hale with a celebratory luncheon at Alan Wong’s Pineapple Room. The members’ India ink and Japanese art drawings were on display at Honolulu Hale from April 18 through 29.

Sachie Saigusa-Sensei, who, at age 89, still teaches the group, recognized six students with certificates of achievement. Georgette Deemer, city deputy managing director, also presented a certificate to Saigusa-Sensei, recognizing her longtime dedication to her students and the art of sumie.
