Ikebana exhibit

One of my JTEs (Japanese Teacher of English) gave me tickets to an Ikebana exhibit, because her work was part of the show. Jonas and I went to see the exhibit today. Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement and it is quite beautiful. There is a scene in Lost in Translation where Charlotte walks into a room of women practicing Ikebana. At one of my schools, there is always a flower arrangement in the women's bathroom outside the teacher's room. It is always beautiful and simple. Just a few different flowers, plants or twigs.

This was arranged by the JTE who gave me the tickets.


Jonas was more interested in the chairs.
