In commemoration luncheon, Headmasters and Headmistresses of Ikebana schools and Honorary Advisor of TFC talked about the chapter’s history. The party was held in a nice atmosphere from the beginning to the end. After the party, a tape cutting ceremony was held in front of the exhibition hall at 1:00 PM. The stream of visitors was never broken despite the heavy rain and the hall was alive all the time. A tower of flowers as a memorial to Tohoku earthquake disaster victims was set in the exhibition hall, and everybody had placed flowers in the tower. It was complete around 3 PM. TFC would like to thank participants for their cooperation.
Tokyo Founding Chapter has already begun to walk towards the 60th anniversary.

３月２日（金曜）ホテルオークラでいけばなインターナショナル東京支部５５周年記念花展が開催されました。記念花展を象徴する様に９流派家元、１００名余りの会員が参加し、賑やかな花展となりました。記念の昼食会では、お家元や名誉顧問の挨拶では今までの思い出が語られ、和やかな雰囲気となりました。昼食会終了後、会場でのテープカットが執り行われました。あいにくの大雨でしたが、来場客はひきもきれず、終始賑わいのある会場となりました。東北大震災の為の慰霊の花の塔が作られ、出展者はご自分の花を、来場者は用意された花を差し、慰霊の花の塔は３時頃完成しました。
皆様のご協力を心より感謝申し上げます。
いけばなインターナショナル東京支部は６０周年に向けて歩き始めました。
