Sogetsu Chennai director Mrs Malathi Pandurang deputed Sensei Divya Selvam and Sensei Chitra Rajan to conduct a demonstration for students of two higher secondary schools Velammal Vidyalaya school and Sethu Bhaskara Matriculation higher Secondary School at Chennai, India.

In both the demonstrations the  senseis  showed basic upright and basic slanting style on a Moribana container and then invited a few students to try out the same. The demonstration was viewed with great interest by staff and students and the students enjoyed the interactive session too. Besides these two free style demonstrations were also exhibited by the sensies from Sogetsu Chennai branch.
