Met Ayumi as arranged. We went to the floral shop nearby to pick up our materials fir the class. The owner was so gracious and spent much time explaining each flower and branches she selected for us. She was so interesting snd also told us about instructor, Ayumi, who spoke Japanese, French and English! We then went to a space in a hotel lobby, prepared for our class. I had a wonderful experience and learned some new things. This was the highlight of my trip to Kyoto! Thank you, Ayumi
