Meaningfully, ikebana is bringing flowers to life and giving them a new lease of life. So when ikebana artists take a flower or other plant from nature and put it in a vase or bowl, they are not just keeping it alive with water, but giving it a new lease of life as part of a work of art, giving it a more beautiful appearance than nature gave it.

Ikebana is the Japanese art of creating an artistic arrangement from a few flowers and branches, which captivates with its simplicity and clarity.

Anyone who is interested can

• learn the design rules and techniques for arranging plants,
• develop its own creativity in the process,
• Finding peace and relaxation by working with plants.

Ikebana arrangements can be

• From anyone
• at any time
• in every place
• with any material

be designed. (Sofu Teshigahara, founder of the Sogetsu School)
