The other day we gave a bouquet of flowers to Mr. Noguchi to celebrate his win.
It is the original bouquet made of flowers in Nishiaizu-machi.
The wife of a staff member at Art Village made it.
We really appreciate it. As you can see, Mr. Noguchi responded with a big smile.
We, the members of Fukushima Flower Project, are also very pleased to hear that Mr. Noguchi won the prize.
We are going to plan events so that more people can view the "Flowers of Fukushima"!
You cannot appreciate all the beauty of the flowers on the web page.
Please come and see the beautiful "Flowers of Fukushima" on the panel at the photo exhibit in Asaka History Museum, starting from Sunday, July 12.
We are looking forward to your visit.
