In addition to the exhibition in the Ikebana House there have also been other ikebana related works exhibited at the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennal. Hiroki Ohara headmaster of the Ohara School of ikebana was represented in 2009 and in 2012 with the following works:
Infinity along the groove (2009)
"Approximately 400 painted plywood panels are placed along the gutters of rice paddy fields. Grass and flowers poke out through numerous holes in the panels [The exhibit lasted 3 months]. The work conveys the strength of nature’s life force against the backdrop of the artificial colors of the panels."
"In a location inside a shrine with a great view of the Kiyotsu River flowing by, a large object of art is placed. Using driftwood as the main material and applying a variety of treatments, the artist has created a bold work of ikebana."
