What is Ikebana?Ikebana is the Japanese art of formal flower arranging with special regard shown to balance, harmony and form. It is derived from the Japanese words ikeru which means "to arrange" and hana which means "flower". Traditionally, arranged flowers were set into the toko-no-ma, the alcove in rooms where guests were normally received. Today they are also frequently seen in entrance halls and living rooms, as well as in lobbies of large buildings and shop windows. The decision of what flowers to arrange is guided by the desire to create harmony between the flower and container and to find flowers that blend in well with the surroundings. Although layer after layer of flowers is used in western floral arrangements, in Ikebana the key to consideration is to use as few stems and leaves as possible in composing elegant contours that highlight the flowers' beauty. |
