Japan Creative Centre (JCC)

Join us at Japan Creative Centre (JCC) to learn the art of Hana Tsutsumi, Japanese flower wrapping that combines the art of ikebana, origami and gift wrapping. It involves not only arranging flowers, but also constructing the container in which they will be displayed or presented. Flowers are placed in containers made from or covered with elegant paper. The traditional form of flower presentation dates back to ancient times in Japan. May you present the next flower gift with this art form!
