Ikebana International Fair 2010

On December 7, 2010 the Annual Ikebana International Fair was held in the Tokyo Prince Hotel. Ikebana is Japanese flower arrangement. The Embassy of Colombia provided the flowers for the event. Ikebana International is an NPO with the goal of reaching out to many different cultures through flower arrangement. Many of the Ambassador's wives are members of the group, so for these kinds of events many different embassies are present . The Embassy of Afghanistan had a booth offering jewelry as well as clothing, offered on this blog, by Zarif Design. The event attracted thousands of people and had many large beautiful flower arrangements. Emceeing the event was Japanese Princess Takamado.

The Princess came to the Embassy of Afghanistan's booth. She ended up buying a very nice lapis bracelet.

The Zarif Design clothing ended up being quite popular. This silk asymmetric dress was especially popular. In the end the daughter of the Serbian Ambassador bought it.
