Ikebana Demonstration Was The Highlight Of The Event

Apart from the ikebana exhibits, the highlight of the 44th Annual Ikebana Exhibition Kuala Lumpur Chapter 72 was the ikebana demonstration.

Two 'sensei's were flown specially from Okinawa Japan to demonstrate arranging ikebana.

Zayasu Naomi (Zayasu Sensei) from the Kozan school and Sunabe Ritsuko (Sunabe Sensei) from Misyo School.

Each demonstrator showed 3 pieces of ikebana arrangement, but here I am only showing the works of Zayasu Sensei.
