At the event, Ikebana artisan Shindo Kasei from Kyoto presented a piece titled “Tachiike Kotenba”, which combines purple chrysanthemums from Da Lat and yellow chrysanthemums of Japan. It symbolizes the wish for the enduring and growing relationship between Vietnam and Japan in the future.

The audiences find many impressive artworks at the event, bringing out diverse colors of different cultures and artistic approaches.
