On the 6th August the Melbourne Chapter of Ikebana participated in the annual commemorative service in recognition of Hiroshima Peace Day. As is customary, the service was held at St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne. The Consul-General of Japan, Mr Shimada lit the Hiroshima Peace candle and gave an address to the congregation.
The team from the Sogetsu School created a large installation. They used Magnolia branches, Acanthus leaves and white disbud Chrysanthemums in a large urn, which was flanked by three large Gymea leaves suspended from black frames.
This year the Shogetsudo koryu team created the smaller of the two arrangements. They used a variety of materials including Magnolia branches, Oriental lilies, green and pink Chrysanthemums and Monstera leaves.
