Flower Arrangement
Home Visit & Culture Experience Program
Option
Why not try elegant Japanese ikebana (flower arrangement)? See how Japanese people appreciate the beauty of each season by using flowers/plants which are available only for that season.
Customers arrive at a flower arrangement instructor's house. The instructor will first explain about the difference between Japanese and Western style flower arrangements. It would be interesting to find that Western style arrangement look for the beauty of the flowers itself, while Japanese one would embrace "SPACE" between flowers/plants as a part of the arrangement. The instructor then will try arranging flowers, and customers will try arranging it with the advice/support of the instructor. Customers can enjoy conversations with the instructor as well.
