IKebana





Ikebana (生け花, Ikebana "arranged flower"[1]) is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, also known as kadō (華道, kadō the "way of flowers"). Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It is more than simply putting flowers in a container. Ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. It is the philosophy of developing closeness with nature. Ikebana is a creative expression with certain rules of construction. All the materials are with life may it be branches, leaves, grasses, and flowers. The beauty of each arrangement is the result from its color combinations, natural shapes, graceful lines, and the meaning behind the total form of the arrangement. Ikebana is definitely more than a mere floral arrangement
