The 1st event of 2007
'Ohanami'


Date: April 8th, Sunday, 11:00 to 14:00
Place: Citizens' Park


ICIEA held the annual Ohanami (a picnic under the cherry blossoms) as its first event of the 2007 fiscal year. More than 150 attendees enjoyed playing games, listening to the songs, and looking at a tea ceremony performance. The participants from abroad had the opportunity to experience a little Japanese culture by attending an open air tea ceremony. Everyone enjoyed a nice box lunch under the open sky. They caught up with their acquaintances and friends and met new people as well. The weather was nice and everyone had a good time.
