Ikebana Workshop -Try your hand at the Japanese art of flower arrangement-
Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of arranging flowers for display.
For this Ikebana event, a teacher from the ikebana school – Sogetu School – will give an ikebana demonstration followed by an ikebana workshop, where you can try making your own display.
After the workshop, you’ll be able to take the flowers with you as souvenirs that you can enjoy in your home!

Also, there will be free drinks and snacks! Let’s get to know each other through Tanabata!
