ABOUT IKEBANA

'To express yourself, to cultivate your own style, to face your sense of beauty, and to give shape to your thoughts - Ikebana makes this possible.'

​​​​​​

いけばな / IKEBANA / ìːkeɪbɑ́ːnə/ [noun]

​​​

Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement.  

​

The word Ikebana combines ikeru (to give life) and hana (flower), meaning “living flowers.”

​

By engaging with branches, leaves, and blossoms, we sense their vitality and presence, and express the harmony and beauty found in nature through creative arrangement.

​

Ikebana is truly an art where nature and the human heart resonate together.

​

In Ikebana, the essential elements are line, colour and mass.

 

Through careful observation of each material, we perceive its inherent beauty, and by giving it new shape, we breathe life into the arrangement.

​

What we create and express through Ikebana is a reflection of our own inner selves.  

​

In the quiet time spent with flowers, we listen to our inner voice, refine our sensitivity, and find balance within.

​

That is the spiritual richness and inner fulfilment Ikebana brings to our lives.
