Kimi was most pleasant and her English good.
She made us feel very relaxed and the Ikebana class uncomplicated.

The class was so useful to learn about the context of japanese calligraphy and we had time to practise too!!! The teacher is so kind and aims you to keep putting effort on getting better at your calligraphy.

Overall a really really nice experience. Very nice teacher.
I was only a bit disappointed that you didn’t have have tiny little bit of choice which flowers to take. For this price I was expecting this.
Also, a handout was given, but I would appreciate more information on it (meaning of the names, why, when).
Very kind, learned something new and had nice 90 minutes with tea at the end and some sweets as well :) thank you

Thank you very much for attending our ikebana class and writing a review for us. We are happy to know you enjoyed the class.

We also appreciate your advice. We'll think about adding more information on the paper, but basically we don't want our guests to concentrate on reading that much. Many of our guests take some notes listening to our lecture if they want.

Regarding flower materials, firstly they are expensive here in Japan. But moreover, we have an idea "Ichigo Ichie" that means "once-in-a-lifetime encounter (hence should be cherished as such)" in Japanese culture. When we go to our ikebana lesson, flower materials are always prepared. That's our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use them all together and we can use the ones we won't choose by ourselves. We appreciate this special encounter. Though we feel sorry our preparation didn't meet your expectation, we are grateful if you could share this concept.

We hope you've made a lot of good memories in Japan and we'll see you again before long. Thank you so much!!

Best Regards,
Kimi

Very nice hosts who give a nice explanation and demonstration of a typical traditional Japanese tea ceremony. They also answer a lot of questions and their English is very fluent. Highly recommended.
