Ikebana – Japanese Flower Arrangements
Ikebana literally means “living flowers”. It is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Rather than just simply organizing some flowers into a vase, it’s a proper form of art. Stems, leaves and flowers are carefully arranged into a vase or other container. The arrangement is considered a living thing showing the magnificence of nature and humanity. Ikebana has deep spiritual roots. It evolved centuries ago from the Buddhist practice of offering flowers to the spirits of the dead.
