Sign of spring / 春の兆し
【日本語版は英語版のあとです】
Guest from Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China.
She changes flowers in her house every week and enjoys them.
I could see her love and compassion towards flower by watching how she handled flowers, especially, Keiozakura (very fragile petals).
Beautiful work.
Couldn’t believe it was her first time Ikebana. She was surprised to see cherry blossoms in this cold season. Please visit Japan again to see “Someiyoshino” !
中華人民共和国、深圳からのゲスト。

Hana-mochi / 花餅
【日本語版は英語版のあとです】 Time flies! New year 2020 is coming soon.
Since you seldom see flowers during winter, people especially lived among mountains created “Hana-Mochi” (literally means flowers & rice cake. Some people call it “Mochi-Hana”) to see red & white flowers made of mochi were blooming. Hana-Mochi is seasonal icon to celebrated happy new year. Like colors of Japan’s flag, combination of red and white is auspicious colors in Japan.

Cherish moment / 大切な時間
【日本語版は英語版のあとです】 Guests from Indonesia. Since it is so wide country from east to west, there are so much diversity of languages, customs, and races. He told me about influences of Dutch since colonialism and places to go from a point view of local. There are lots of things I learn from my guests. That’s why I want to cherish the moment with them. In this coming Dec. 21, his sister will open flower shop. Congratulations!! インドネシアからのゲスト。 東西に長い国なので、所変われば言語、風習、人種が異なるという興味深い話を伺いました

Shitamachi walking / 下町散歩
【日本語版は英語版のあとです】 I did Ikebana performance in front of 20 guests from the U.S.A. Ikebana has influenced by Shinto and Buddhism. The guests had lecture about history of Ikebana at Shitaya Shinto shrine and walked in old downtown to visit Katsushika Hokusai’s grave and Buddhist alter shopping street. I believe the guests gain deeper insight of Shinto and Buddhism through this program. Today, I worked on this program with experienced guide Kaori san. Thank you very much, Kaori sa

Tokonoma (alcove) / 床の間
【日本語版は英語版のあとです】 Guest from the U.S.A. Her interest towards Ikebana is: looking at work from the front because the work is displayed at alcove where nobody can step in. Even if she’s staying for a week only in Tokyo, she had fulfilled time by visiting sightseeing spots and museums. There are more places to se here in Japan. Please visit Japan someday again! アメリカからのゲスト。 いけばなは正面から愛でるという点に興味を持たれたようです。(作品を床の間に飾るため) 今回は東京だけの滞在でしたが、観光名所や美術館巡りと、充実した一週間だったようです。 日本には、まだ沢山いいところがありますので、ま

Natural looking / 自然な風合い
※日本語版は英語版のあとです Since artificial flowers are not alive, it’s so hard to arrange them into a vase. Beautiful dorm-shaped arrangement with natural looking.
