Ikebana Show

One of my co-workers studies ikebana, the japanese art of flower arrangement. Each year there is an Ikebana show in Sabae. This year, she invited me to see the show. She's a really nice teacher and she invites me to lots of stuff, but I usually can't make it. So this time, even though i'm not crazy about flowers, I figured I'd go. I didn't want her to think that I didn't like her, cause she's actually a really sweet Japanese lady. It turned out to be alot of fun, and the ikebana displays were really cool. Some were a bit strange but that was fine by me. I was expecting a bunch of similar looking flower arrangements and it was nothing like that. Here are pics of some of the ikebana arrangements fromt the show:
