Dubai Chapter #221

Our March meeting was very vibrant and full of energy and happiness.
This time we tried to find a different place to make a change to encourage the members to attend and work. We chose a beautiful Arabic restaurant filled with a lot of plants. In the middle of the hall a big tree is planted, and the roof is made of glass. All these create a comfortable and beautiful ambience.

We finally contacted the Ohara School President, Harue san.
Harue san brought Sakura that had been imported from Japan and did a very good workshop. She explained us the basics of Ohara arrangement. We were able to have very nice and valuable information, and this is a big achievement for us.

We hope many people will join us and cooperate with us to spread Ikebana and Japanese beautiful culture.
