“Ikebana Demonstration by Members,” was held on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. at the multipurpose hall, “ESPACIO MEXICANO” of the Embassy of Mexico (Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku).

Those who had applied to perform and who had been requested to were assigned to four different groups, and the respective pairs gave demonstrations on the stage.

Mme. Kaire JURGENSON, the wife of the Estonian Ambassador and Ms. Ekuko Odake of the Sogetsu School performed in the first group, Mme. Hanan ABUBAKR, the wife of the Egyptian Ambassador and Ms. Noriko Yasuhara of the Ohara School in the second group, Mme. Nuning Wahyuniati AKHMADI, the wife of the Indonesian Ambassador and Ms. Emi Yoshimura of the European Flower Academy in the third group. Finally, Ms. Nobuko Usui of the Ohara School and Ms. Noriko Kira of the Sogetsu School performed in the fourth group.

While interviewing the demonstrators, we enjoyed gorgeous and unique ikebana.

 When we pass from the gate of the embassy to the entrance of the hall, we were able to see the large agaves and cacti, and while listening to the Mexican background music, we spent a wonderful time enjoying the atmosphere of Mexico. The attendants received agave syrup, as a souvenir, which is made from agave and good for health.
