"The chrysanthemum has long been considered as a symbol of nobility, and the
crest of the Imperial Household is a stylised representation of a
chrysanthemum blossom. It has also been used as a symbol of the Japanese
culture. In 1946, Ruth Benedict, a well-known American cultural
anthropologist, published a book on Japan entitled "The Chrysanthemum and
The Sword", which has been a must reading for many students of Japanese
studies.
It is heartening to see that the Japanese art of flower
arrangement is also becoming very popular in Pakistan. As you maybe aware,
the Embassy in cooperation with various cultural organizations is holding
the Pakistan-Japan Friendship Fest from October 2000 to March 2001. The
Embassy plans to hold Ikebana workshops and demonstrations in Islamabad,
Lahore and Peshawar in March next year. I hope that many of you will attend
these workshops to diversify your skills in achieving "Beauty Through
Flowers" in your own homes, and compete in flower arrangement competitions.
To conclude, I would like once again to thank the Pakistan Horticultural
Society, especially Maj. General Shuaib for inviting me to this ceremony,
and Mr. Rafi-ud-din for all the hard work that he has put in. Thanks to
them, we can all feel happy in the knowledge that flowers can make our homes
so khoshgawaar "

Remarks by H.E. Mr. Sadaaki Numata, Ambassador of Japan at the Prize
Distribution Ceremony of Annual Chrysanthemum and Autumn Flowers Show at
Rose and Jasmine Gardens on 25 November 2000

her lips, giving him a rear-view, under the legs, glimpse of her

juices on her pubic hairs to glisten"
