WELCOME TO THIS WEEKENDS JAPANESE SUMMER FESTIVAL IN ALASKA
Natsu Matsuri (Japanese Summer Festival) in Anchorage Alaska Includes Ikebana (Flower Arrangement)
Although the number of Japanese Nationals living in Alaska is limited to 800, with half of those in Anchorage, Japanese influence in the state is expansive as reflected by the Japanese Summer Festival in Anchorage attended by over a thousand.
In this below linked video one of many festival activities is featured, The Japanese art of kebana (Flower Arrangement).
Watch as instruction is given to festival visitors in the art of making one’s own personal flower arrangement.

I like watching these at auction when it comes around, nice car
And to think I could picked up one of those for $25,000 from the local Mercedes Dealer back in the early 70s. Several years ago one could find a nice operating one for $400,000.. Don't know what the current market price might be.
