Having my first Ikebana class <3

One of the main reasons why I came to Japan is to experience the traditional culture of this country. Living in a metropolitan city like Tokyo can make it hard to immerse onself in the classical, time-honoured heritage of Japan. Yet, i believe thart if you look hard, you can find plenty of opportunities, which offer you to teach about the historical and cultural past.

So, after doing some research on the Internet, I found an Ikebana class in Shinjuku which offers weekly sessions in English. Although, I didnt really know what to expect from this class, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I came to really like the meaninng behind Japanese flower arrangement. The idea of trying to find the right balnce balance but also also expressing one’s emotions in the same time makes it a unique form of art!
