Seattle Chapter #19

The Japan Fair 2021 was presented online in “virtual” format on June 26th, 2021. Our Chapter decided to participate in this virtual event by submitting a video to introduce our chapter.

Japan Fair Chair, Lily Chang, asked each school to provide a brief introduction and ikebana photos representing their schools. Akemi Sagawa provided technical help to create a PowerPoint video. A 20-minute video containing 9 ikebana school introductions and 83 ikebana photos became available to view on the Video Channel of virtual Japan Fair 2021 on June 26th. The link to our video remains available on the Japan Fair website (https://japanfairus.org).
