“Ikebana” is the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement.
For this Ikebana event, a teacher from the “Sogetsu School” of Ikebana will give an Ikebana demonstration followed by a workshop, where you can try making your own Ikebana.
Not only you can see and learn the skills from the professional teacher, but you’ll be able to take the flowers home!
It is one of the few offline events which will be held in this semester.
It might be your new hobby for your home time.
It is a great chance to make new friends especially for new students.
Don’t miss it! We’ll be waiting for you!
