Japanese flower arrangement exhibition opens in HCM City
A Japanese Ikebana (flower arrangement) exhibition was opened in Ho Chi Minh on May 13 to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Japan and Vietnam (1973-2023).
VOV.VN - An exhibition titled “Gio Dong” (East Wind) will take place from March 6 to 8, 2026 at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi, introducing the Japanese art of flower arrangement, Ikebana, to Vietnamese visitors.
The event marks the third exhibition organised by Yohaku, a group engaged in promoting Japanese culture through activities such as Ikebana workshops, tea ceremony and kintsugi, the art of repairing broken ceramics with lacquer and gold.
The exhibition receives professional support from the Ikenobo Vietnam Tachibanakai Study Group, affiliated with Ikenobo, the oldest school of Ikebana in Japan.
Inspired by the gentle east wind that heralds the arrival of spring, the exhibition also reflects the renewal of peach gardens along the Red River after Typhoon Yagi, which caused severe damage in Hanoi in 2024. Rather than focusing on loss, the event highlights resilience and renewal, exploring how both nature and people recover after adversity.
The exhibition space, designed by TOOB STUDIO, features a display area for Ikebana works alongside a tea ceremony space, allowing visitors not only to observe but also to experience Japanese cultural practices at a slower pace.
The exhibition is supported by MUJI Vietnam, the Japanese lifestyle retail brand, through coordination and consultation by NOTES. The collaboration aims to expand dialogue around ideas of simplicity, sustainability and respect for nature that MUJI promotes.
The five-day exhibition features hundreds of flower works, including those arranged by members of the Ikenobo family, especially the 45th headmaster Ikenobo Senei. It is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors.
