[Place] International Student Center Room 306 at Yokohama National University
[Participants] 8 foreign students from 7 countries
[Attendants] 2 KSGG members
[Languages] Japanese and English
Eight foreign students had a lesson of flower
arrangement. We chose flowers suitable
for hot summer and made three kinds of flower materials with branches. We tried representing summer and
coolness. The students smiled to see the
prepared flowers, saying that amaranth with cockscomb is unfamiliar and a new
kind of chrysanthemum, which reminds them of a sparkler, is beautiful. We explained about the basic knowledge and
technique and the branches and flowers used in the lesson, and gave a demonstration
of flower arrangement. We helped them
cut the branches because it was difficult, but we had them arrange flowers
freely as they liked. They arranged the
flowers with their own creativity. Lastly
we helped them make their work beautiful.
They arranged flowers feeling relaxed, surrounded with a lot of
flowers. It seemed a pleasant lesson for
them.
