High school extracurricular Ikebana exhibition
When I went to Himeji City’s Kokoen Garden, I came across an exhibition of ikebana, Japanese flower arrangement.
It’s an extracurricular activity of high school students in Himeji City.
I was impressed by the lively flower arrangement of the high school students.
What are extracurricular activities?
In Japan, it is common for students in elementary, junior high and high schools to engage in extracurricular activities in addition to their classes.
There are many kinds of extracurricular activities, and you can make friends not only with your classmates in class, but also with people from other classes and grades.
