Consul-General Ito Attends the Ikenobo Ikebana Society of Toronto’s 55th Flower Show, an Official Commemorative Event of the 90th Anniversary of Japan-Canada Diplomatic Relations

On July 8, Consul-General of Japan attended the Ikenobo Ikebana Society of Toronto’s Flower Show held at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. This annual exhibition, now in its 55th year, was one of the official commemorative events of the 90th anniversary of Japan-Canada Diplomatic Relations. The show featured a demonstration by Prof. Yumi Kubota, who had been dispatched from Japan as the Ikenobo Headquarters Special Visiting Professor. She demonstrated a variety of arrangements, including a traditional piece and a modern work that made use of the Niagara Falls as its image. Attendants enjoyed the many works on display, including ikebana with the theme of the Tanabata star festival, as well as works arranged by children.
