About LA5 X House of Suntory Toa Hokohoko Poto

He toa hokohoko poto whai wheako a House of Suntory kei te Taunga Rererangi o Hamad i Qatar. I hangaia tēnei toa poto i runga i te mahi tahi me Qatar Duty Free hei whakaatu i te toi me ngā tikanga tuku iho o Hapani ki ngā kaihaere. Ko te āhua o waho i ahu mai i ngā tukutuku rākau o te momo Machiya, kua whakahoungia ki tētahi āhua hou hei tohu ki te toa tuatahi o te kamupene i Hapani. Mā ngā whakaaturanga Ikebana me ngā huānga kōrero paki e hanga tētahi wā marino i roto i te taunga rererangi. Ka honoa e te hoahoa te āhua hou ki te taonga tuku iho ahurea.
