Hokokuji Temple is best known for the beautiful, small bamboo grove found behind the temple's main hall, which lies thick with over 2000 dark green bamboo stalks. A few narrow pathways lead through the bamboo to a tea house where we sat and enjoy a cup of matcha tea while enjoying views into the bamboo grove.

"Meet with Flowers" is an annual special exhibition by flower artists whose main focus is to widely disseminate Ikebana's potential as contemporary art. Inspired by the free expression attitude pursued by Sofu Teshigahara, who founded the Ikebana Sogetsu style about 100 years ago, the structure focuses on its innovative creative spirit (ism).
