Flower Exhibition
A couple weeks ago one of my English students told me of a flower exhibition that she was participating in and invited me to go see it. This exhibition was specifically for Ikebana, which is the traditional Japanese way of arranging flowers (you can read more about Ikebana here). I was happy to go and brought my friend, Teresa, who also works with Christar here in Japan, along as well. Here are some of the pictures we took:
This was one of my favorites.
Here was Teresa and I, and my English student Fumiko. Her arrangement is to the right.
Pretty and simple.
I guess you didn't have to use just flowers - this one is made from packing peanuts!
The room was filled with many different arrangements, some rather interesting like the one above, but many that were just lovely. It was a fun chance to see a bit of Japanese culture!
Please pray for our English student and friend, Fumiko, that she would come to know God’s love for her. We recently had lunch with her and were able to give her a biography of a Christian Japanese writer. Please pray that she would have the chance to read it and that God would be at work in her life.
