Kobe Chapter ＃181

We were finally able to hold our first meeting of this fiscal year and had a wonderful autumn day in November. We welcomed Ms. Yukiyo Koyama, the headmistress of the Expressionist School of Ikebana, who also studied Dutch flower arrangement. She gave a demonstration using the bright reddish-orange gloriosas, yellow oncidiums, white calla lilies, reddish-purple calla lilies, and the green of large areca palms. The whole hall was full of colors, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere.
