Ikebana
is a Japanese cultural art taught in 22 countries with a history over
600 years old. In this style of floral design the empty space you
create is more important than the space you fill. One flower does the
work of a dozen allowing the special nature of individual materials to
create a sense of abundance and interest. Ikebana shares the joy of
nature’s seasons while being creative with what grows around
you. Experience an Ikebana exhibit or class in your area.
In
this uncertain world nature can impart a sense of harmony. Ikebana
floral design allows the harmony of nature to enhance our indoor
environments and create special occasions for others. In this style of
floral design the empty space you create is more important than the
space you fill. Each branch, leaf, and flower with their unique nature
creates a sense of abundance and interest.
Once the exclusive enjoyment of the Asian elite Ikebana has influenced
the development of floral design worldwide. Ikebana shares the joy of
nature’s seasons while being creative with what grows around
you.
