I could attend Ikebana International Dallas Fort Worth Chapter meeting and met Ikebana friends. It took me about 5 years to reunion. There was a demonstration and workshop in November 2011. I was an assistant of Ikebana teacher.
It was my first time to see a teacher do Ikebana and do Ikebana with others. Since I had come to the States, I did Ikebana by myself at home. My teacher looked great sharing in the joy of Ikebana. I was so impressed by her and I wanted to be like her.
Then I started teaching Ikebana in 2014 April but I was away from organization.Fortunately someone invited me to help the workshop this November and it’s time for me to join Ikebana International.

I was so glad to meet them again!!!! Japanese Blog
