Last Thursday, Nov 14th, I had the chance to give an ikebana demonstration at St. Mary University in Halifax.
It was for the Introduction to Japanese Culture class in the Department of Modern Languages and Classics.
It was great to be around young people. Their enthusiasm gave me energy. They posed many interesting questions. I hope I was able to answer them adequately!
The following day, some of the students even dropped by the shop to say "Hello" and told me they had enjoyed the presentation. I really appreciated that!
Special thanks to Dr. Alexandre Avdulov for giving me this opportunity to present what ikebana is all about to your class....and thank you for being my photographer! :-) --Miyako
