Two teams of 4 ikebana artists will present a Hana-Awase performance to live music - World Premiere. The teams synergize to craft a harmonious work of art, complemented by the mellifluous strains of Mozart's music, expertly rendered by the esteemed musicians of Orchestra 21.
Our special guests from Japan, Oshun Tsukagoshi and his team will join this performance.
Oshun Tsukagoshi: Oshun is the headmaster of Ikebana Shofu, a distinguished school renowned for its innovative approach to ikebana.

His distinctive style seamlessly blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western influences.

He has since showcased his mastery through captivating flower performances across diverse global stages including Hong Kong, China, France, and Holland, captivating audiences with his unique interpretations of ikebana.
