Wrap up party for final thesis held

We held a wrap up party for final thesis of B4 and M2 and D3 students with Ikeda lab.

Ohno adviser also attended this party, it was very flourish!!

Members of B4(Okuda kun, Zoysa kun) did a great job, but also difficult for you.

Please rest well……

And also, 4 members of M2(Itoh kun, Saino kun, Takahashi kun, Wang kun) and a member of D3(Watanabe kun) did a great job.
