Ikebana (or 「花道kado」, "the way of flowers") is a disciplined Japanese art form with roots dating back to the 7th century, when Prince Shotoku introduced the practice of offering flowers to Buddha. Over 1,300 years, it has evolved into a meditative art distinct from Western flower arrangement. Ikenobo, founded by Prince Shotoku, is the original school of ikebana and remains the sole origin from which all other schools (「流ryu」) derive.
Our venue partner, Alisan Atelier, has generously offered its private art salon space and its current exhibition to the participants, providing a unique artful setting for this workshop.
